Premium seats are the best seats which is why they are all located in the Orchestra Center section. As with all productions there, the staging will be done to incorporate the side Orchestra seats but the principal staging, for obvious reasons, will be to Orchestra Center section. If the theatre was in-the-round, then they'd be using a 360 degree staging.
Is the mezzanine or orchestra better? For a date I am interested in they have 3rd row center amex premium seating (which is the last row) or what appears to be the front of the mezz.
Also, the orchestra sides are $85 versus $130 for Amex -- any sense of if it's worth the difference?
I wouldn't get the mezz in this theatre. The premiuim is obviously the best, but the orchestra on the side closest to the premium is also great and a better deal.
