Are balcony seats worth it for Avenue Q?

Question

We are looking to buy tix for Avenue Q in Chicago and want balcony seats. Can you see the stage and puppets well enough in balcony seats?

Answer 1

The puppets can be seen very well from very far. And they read better than the actors. So you could follow the story without problems. The only thing you might miss are some elements in the set. Like the puppet's rooms that some people have told me have a lot of detail. Bring some binoculars anyway. There are a couple of scenes where something happens above the building. Don't know if it is the case, but in some old theaters, that have several stories of balconies, you can miss the upper part of the stage if you are in the top area.

Answer 2

I don't know but i'd love to see Avenue Q!
