Yay! Thanks julip for your reports. How lucky of you to be seeing them more than once. I can't wait to read more!

I really hope there is someone in the Seattle area who will post a review of ABT's Giselle being performed this week. There's only been one review on this site so far from their tour on the West Coast. Is no one going, (I know prices were expensive) or do all members live in the East?

Do you know if they are planning on coming to Hong Kong on this tour?

Thank you to mussel and felursus for the replies. Sorry mussel, but the day I want to go is May 30. I hope you find someone to take your tickets. felursus, the tip about the Dress Circle box seats was great! I've got a friend there who is going to check that out for me and get tickets (if still available). Thanks again for all the help. I can't wait for my trip!

Thank you Juliet and bobsey for your replies. I'm only going by the ABT website as to what seats are available the day I'm free. It's good to know that there could be tickets available at the box office the day of. Now I won't have to buy them online. As for seeing both companies....I don't think I could convince my travelling companion that we should see two ballets. I think one is enough for her and since ABT is my favourite of the two, they win out. Thanks again for the input.

Hello! I'm new to this board (just introduced myself on the Welcome Board) and I'm looking for some input from you native New Yorkers. I'm going to be in NY for a few days at the end of May and intend to see ABT's Merry Widow while there. I've never been to NY before so have never been in the Met Theatre. The only tickets available for the day I've got free are Orchestra and Balcony. There's of course quite a price difference between the two so I'm wondering what the seats are like. Is it really worth it to spend so much on Orchestra seats that could be at the back of that section? Or will balcony seats suffice? Any input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
