Thanks! I'll probably get a seat anywhere in the 100's or even 200's for a good view. But then hearing Lea's vocals clearly over on the odd 200's does sound tempting despite its disadvantages in terms of view of her parts. Now I'm confused which one to go for. 

Thanks! Hoping to see the full company when I go. *crossing my fingers*

Hi, might watch this in a week or two. Sorry if this sounds stupid but when do you usually find out if a certain cast member will be performing on a certain date? Do you only find out by checking out the board outside the venue on the day itself? Or do they usually post an announcement somewhere if an understudy will be taking on the role?

"Ticketmaster uses dynamic pricing, which alters the ticket prices based on demand/sales. All Wednesday matinees through 5/30 are priced lower, simply because they have the weakest sales, and generally have the lowest demand. It has nothing to do with cast absences."

 

Alright, thanks. That's good to know. When I checked the prices yesterday those seats were around $200, then the prices dropped a couple of hours ago.

"Haha fair enough! I'm kind of a slut for Frozen and I absolutely LOVE Caissie Levy! She could sing the dictionary and I'd pay $200 to see it. I'm definitely seeing her as Elsa as many times as possible. BUT in the interest of deciding I think you're smart to narrow it down. There's just way too much to choose from, best problem ever "

 

So I decided to check out the tickets for Frozen in case I'll feel like throwing Frozen into the mix. Gulp! There's NONE left for 4/11. Nothing except a few seats in the very last row of the balcony or the very front of the orchestra. Haha!

I DO love my Disney, though! Ahhh, but I think I'm going to take Frozen out of consideration this time as it'll only make me more confused about what to go for. Choices, choices...

Glad it was helpful in terms of your question:my girlfriend was the one who saw Mean Girls and because I plan to see in a near future, I asked her not to give me any spoilers (I know, so hard in this digital era...) so, at my request, she gave me very little info. We didn’t talk about the set, but given that is Casey Nicholaw who is directing, I assume it will be very nice. She talked more about the story and the little she told me I could tell it’s very funny. She thinks Tina Fey has big chances to get a Tony nomination and I hope she does. I love her work. So, if you’re looking to see something fresh, right out-of-the-oven, then Mean Girls is the way to go. And you will get to see the original cast if that’s appealing to you. Waitress has been out there for awhile and probably if you choose, you will see the show with Katherine McPhee. I’m not familiar with her work, so I don’t know how her performance will be. I saw Waitress with Sara Bareilles and thought she was fantastic."

 

Sounds enticing! I think I'll go for Mean Girls now because at least I can say I saw it with the original cast. And your girlfriend seemed to really enjoy it so it can't be bad. I'm sure Katharine will do a good job but seeing it with Sara Bareilles can't be beat. Love her!

"I sat in mezzanine seat A 13, which is 4 seats in from the far left,for GROUNDHOG DAY at this theatre, and I loved the view. Here's a pic I took from my seat:

Oh that's definitely not a bad view! Thanks for the tip! 

Thank you for the ThreatreMania tip, jbird5 and freewilma! 

And thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts! If anyone else wants to chime in, I'd love to hear what you think of both shows, as well! I don't think I'll be coming back to the US or London (West End) anytime soon so I want to make sure I make the right choice. Waitress or Mean Girls?

"If it fits into your schedule, Wednesday matinees forMean Girlsduring April (from 4/11) offer lower prices on many seats. Some front side mezzanine seats, including the first row, are $129.50, which is a great price."

 

I"ll actually be watching on a Wednesday matinee, 4/11, as its what fits best on my schedule. Thanks for the tip! Is the view fine on side mezz seats? Your view of the stage won't be skewed

"Front mezz is the best view for Anastasia, so I'm happy you picked those seats!! Have lots of fun!"

Thanks! Can't wait for April. :)

And sorry for hijacking your thread with my past few questions, @HatchKat. 

Thanks for chiming in, guys! 

You think it would be worth to pay full priced tickets for either show? Most probably around $169 +fees (Ticketmaster). I've checked TodayTIX and their rates aren't much different plus if I'm not mistaken you won't know which exact seats you'll be getting until after you've bought your tickets. Any other place where you can get good seats and discounted rates?

Thanks guys! Pulled the trigger on Front Mezz Row C center seats. It was either that or Orchestra Row O center or Orchestra outer sides. Went with the front mezz seats.

Can't wait to watch the show! 

*crossing my fingers that Christy will be performing*
