Cirque du Soleil very front & center

[M & M]

Has anyone had these seats & will it be hard to see everything?

Thanks for any help.

Yes -

In Sept. 2001, my family had front row seats - left center and found it pretty difficult to see everything - you are literally looking up to the stage area. Mind you - this was not absolutely horrible but have been a total of 5 times and prefer the rear middle of center section.

While it's true 'there isn't a bad seat in the house', I would hesitate to take the very front and center if you have other options (if not, go for it!). It's just a wee bit close and you can't see the back of the stage as well, where a lot of the show will be going on during each of the 'main' acts.

Center is fine, but up front and real close (lower seating area) for any Cirque show, La Nouba included, is not necessarily the preferred seating section. If you are wanting to see facial expressions, muscles, maybe a few (maybe a lot) beads of sweat, up front is the place. However, in all Cirque shows (I have seen 5 different Cirque shows, some multiple times....they are great), there is a LOT of action high up, as well as some action that takes place on the walkway between the levels. If 'up front', you will need to be looking up, as opposed to more or less straight out, for the high up action, and will need to turn around, rather than just looking, for the action on the walkway.

The very best seats, IMO, for the money, are Sections 203, 204, 205 rows EE.

In any case, the show is fabulous, enjoy.

On our Disneymoon, we were in the VERY first row, middle two seats. The guy next to us got picked to go on stage and one of the 4 main guys winked at me. lol

IMHO, they were perfect seats!

I am thinking of this Christmas week... I pulled up 205 row EE and was concerned they would be far away. Would these be good for kids to see?

There are no bad seats, that is true. I personally prefer the seats that are bleacher-like because so much stuff happens high up that it makes watching the show more comfortable.

The first time that we went DH and I got section 204 second row, and thought that the seats were great. The following year we brought DS, DD, DDbest friend, DSIL, DMIL and DDFIL: when I ordered the tickets they ended up coming up with front and center for all of us. We had a blast up there. Everyone loved see it up so close. I know it depends on what everyone likes...but we loved it there. And we could see everything perfectly, with the exception of when the characters walk on the row between the two sections. It was really cool to see their facial expressions so closely.

My mom and I just saw the show a few weeks ago and we were in the 4th row back in the center section in front of the stage. I think the seats were great. But if I were to see it again I would either move back a few rows or go into the middle-upper section. That way when the pre show starts you don't have to turn around to watch it.

The show was awesome!! I would love to see it again some day.
