I am going to see Waitress in May and I am really excited!  My mom and I have been looking for seats and found orchestra seating that were pretty close.  However, I am fairly short and I am worried that I will not be able to see everything on stage.  Where would be the best place to sit when seeing this musical?

I would say center orchestra or front row mezz.  I have sat in both.  Great seats!

I agree that orchestra center or front mezzanine are the best seats. The first row might be too close.

The only review of a show that matters is your own.

You'll miss some projections if you sit in the orchestra, but generally they don't make a big difference. If you would go for a side orchestra seat, please choose the orchestra right / stage left than the opposite. Otherwise you'll pretty much miss most of the kitchen scenes.

My friend and I bought partial view tickets to see Sara Bareilles in Waitress. We already saw the show last summer full view so didn't mind buying partial to save some money. We purchased right orchestra row E, seats 22 and 24. I'm wondering if anyone has sat here before and if so, how partial is partial?

I looked at the seating chart and saw row D directly in front of us were selling for full price, not partial view but the seats seem to align exactly, E doesn't extend further or anything. So, maybe a speaker in the way? 

Thanks in advance.
