Are the seats near the aisle along the stage wall bad? Are you looking at her back all the time?

She moves around quite a bit so you wouldn't be looking at her back ALL the time, but I wouldn't recommend them.
Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty.

I was very skeptical about those seats as well so I bought seats more toward the curve of the seating and I wasn't disappointed. But I made sure to check out those seats as well and they seemed to have a perfectly fine view.

I saw this a couple of weeks ago via TKTS and had ROW F SEAT 239 - so about 6 seats or so from the stage wall aisle. I grumbled thinking I'd be too far off to the side but was pleasantly surprised - note I had a profile view of Audra for moments she was singing into the mic, but will piggyback on fyeahmaria's note about her moving around quite a bit and definitely being able to see her from all angels.

I can't speak for the aisle seat itself with certainty, but I recall thinking after the show that I wouldn't have wanted to be any closer to the aisle as I felt you would no longer be viewing her from profile view but more of a rear diagonal sightline. I also don't think you'd be able to see the moments where VERY MINOR SPOILER ** the back of the stage lights up behind a scrim to reveal artifacts and portraits of loved ones that complement some storyline/song moments.
