Has anyone seen Wicked?

Greeny

We're visiting Chicago in September and are planning on seeing Wicked.  Has anyone been?  We're debating on what level of seats to buy...in a lot of theaters there are no bad seats...is that the case with the Oriental? 

 Also, any restaurant recommendations would be appreciated.  We're staying at the Crowne Plaza on Madison, which I believe is about a mile and a half from the theater.  We're open to all types of food.  We'd prefer to spend $150 or less on dinner for two.  We'll be going with another couple, so it doesn't need to be romantic.

 TIA!

Love Wicked!

 I have seen it in both good and bad seats.  I would say that the "bad" seats are just fine.   Enjoy!

LOVED Wicked!  There are a few seats high on the ends that aren't really great - but I think that actually refer to them as "limited viewing".  1st or second balcony middle-ish is great!

Wicked is great! I suggest nearly anywhere in the balcony section. You'll get a great view.

We got the cheap seats and still had a great view and a great time

I live on the north side so I'm not totally familiar with the restaurants in that area.  Have you tried metromix.com?
