I'm looking at any seats- just need one- in Orchestra Center, Row B (which is the first row) or Orchestra R, rows B, C, and E (aisle seat).

Will the first row be too close? I'm short, but also prefer not to crane my neck up too much!

Mezzanine Center is also available, though I prefer to be a little closer if possible, but just thought I'd throw it out there too in case they're better seats.

Thank you!

I'd grab that aisle seat in row E of right orchestra.

I lucked out and got the very last 2 linctix tickets for the weekend I'll be in NYC in late October. The seats are in the rear mezzanine in Row H off to the side. I've heard some not-so-great things about the Kerr mezzanine and was wondering if someone could elaborate on why the mezzanine seats are so bad? Thanks!

Who knows if they will raise the stage height for this particular performance, but I can tell you I sat in the orchestra center front row for both Gentleman's Guide and the Crucible and the view was fantastic.  The Walter Kerr stage is one of the shortest/lowest on Broadway.  For this particular theatre, I would recommend the front row for sure.

Oh man, that sucks to hear as I'm about 6'4. I'll just need to have a few glasses of wine ahead of time.

Was the view alright? I can get past the whole leg room issue as I face that in many places (mainly the theater and airplanes.) I'm mostly just worried about the view and the sound.

I also saw Gentleman's Guide from the mezzanine, twice in fact. It is steep, but it didn't bother me too much. The sound and view were fine.

Would anyone be able to speak to the view from the first couple rows of the mezz on the extreme sides?

Thank you!

We were in the first row of the Balcony on Friday ($42, couldn't resist) and moved to the Stage Right box during intermission, due to lack of leg room in that first row.  And also to be closer.  There were definitely scenes that we couldn't see at all from there, and I imagine there would be scenes on the other side if you were well over, Stage Left.

 

Orchestra was full for that matinee, Mezz and Balcony were half empty, so if you have a bad seat, good chance you can move over.

Can anyone vouch for first row in the front mezzazine? My seat is in the center. :) 

Are they good views, and is it easy to rush to stage door afterwards?

I was supposed to be in row D all be way on the right tonight, but my lotto seat was "upgraded" for some reason and I was in row N of the orchestra instead (NOT complaining). It looked like it would've been a decent view, though.

I sat all the way on the left ORCH row P and the view was very good, not limited at all and missed nothing.
