On the aisle, several rows back. Too close might be overwhelming and/or she might not be we've to see three big picture.

Not directed at you personally Alli[perhaps just a little] though hijacking your thread

Can we PLEASE have a separate listing on the Chat Board for exactly all these endless threads about where to bloody sit in a theatre.

Don't you have a seating chart when you book a ticket to see where your seat is?

Point/look/click and buy--easy, and keep all these questions out of the B/way topics.

To answer yours--at home with the DVD [or the foyer]. Seriously--enjoy the show wherever you sit.

I’ve seen it from left orchestra, Row B, seats 1 and 3 (aisle). I’m 5’3” and remember having to uncomfortably crane my neck quite a bit.  I wouldn’t choose to sit that close again, and in fact, was sitting on a booster seat myself already, as a tall man sat in front of me. 

We took our 7 and 9 year olds to it also and sat much further back in the left orchestra (further back than your  options). I thought they were great seats and they got a full view.

Nothing better for the vertically challenged than the front row of the mezzanine.  (That's where we sit everytime we can)

You overhang the middle of the orchestra.  

You can see absolutely everything.

You don't have to worry about "that lady with the hat" sitting in front.

The seating chart won't tell you if the stage is too high,  or of the scenery will block your view. Since you don't pay fort this site's bandwidth,  you can simply not read the thread. Maybe then these types of threads won't upset your delicate sensibilities.

Yes it does p@ss off my 'delicate sensibilites' when I go to read all about B/way theatre and I have to scroll though endless questions about where to sit.

Still, if there were different 'bandwidths'[don't know what that means] for every topic that p@ssed me off it would be like plowing through Gone with the Wind.

Yes, I can see how scrolling past THREE (maybe it was four) threads (out of FIFTY) about seating on the first page would be so very inconvenient.  

To be fair, the OP did try to simply add on to another thread, but after 2 hours got no repsonses, so she tried again.   And look:  answers.
And to answer your first question, why this can't be all on one thread? Because it would be too confusing to know who was answering which question.
