What does it mean when a Broadway show ticket says "Partial View"?

typically it means that you're so far left or right that you can't see the entire stage.

A good broadway show is original, fresh, and exciting. It's unique and has it's own style. Typical broadway shows are all the same, usually boring, with similar plots. Non-typical broadway shows are outside of the box. An example of a broadway show that has become popular but isn't the typical would be Cats, which has a unique plot, fresh dances, and great songs.

I believe that this question has a simple solution. Though at first seeing complex, a simple minute of contemplation can display the answer. The subject is a performance at the Broadway Theatre. Therefore a 'partial view' ticket informs the recipient that their seat will only allow them a 'partial view' of the performance. That is the answer. Salutations.

It usually means you are behind a pillar of some sort. We have bought seats like this and have never had a problem.

The seats are bad; usually at an angle so you don't see the entire production.

You could be sitting behind a pillar or post.

that mean's there's a pole in front of you. too bad, wicked's amazing.

Duh
