Went into the box office and was given a fantastic center Mezzanine seat for 79.00 Apparently the discount is good for most performances as long as you purchase before November 1st.
I know no one knows until the production is actually open about how the sidelines would be for this show, but do you guys have any seating suggestions?
I have an option between Orchestra right/left (Row R or more, seats 12-14 or even further right) OR a $35 cheaper rear mezz center Row G (107-10.

Why is that? Is the overhang bad? I worry about rear mezz seats because this is a play. I struggled through The Humans in Schoenfeld but not sure if this theater is comparable in size. It looks a lot larger, which make acoustics even worse.

Struggled visually or vocally? Most of these actors are musical theater actors, so I'd assume most know how to project. Visually, we won't know until the show begins what the design looks like.

Vocally. I missed portions of conversations which happened on the basement (?), basically at the proscenium level. I know it will be difficult to predict what the show would visually look like till it's in previews, but i'm curious about sightlines.
And it's no longer true that musical theater actors are better trained to project. Musicals today almost always give each actor their own microphone, while straight plays rely on stage mics. I ended up going with mezz seats based on bwayphreak's suggestion and what I saw on tickpick.

There ARE some young performers who are not skilled at projecting but The Front Page cast are seasoned theater actors who have been working on Broadway for years. Sight lines aside, I don't think you should have any problem hearing the actors. I can't recall if there are any dead spots at the Broadhurst but projecting shouldn't be an issue.
