I was wondering if someone can shed a little bit of insight on the far left or far right seats in the Orchestra or Dress Circle. Is the view severely obstructed? Anyone have pictures to share?
I sat in one of the center sections of the dress circle so I can't give you an exact answer, but they didn't look like they were severely obstructed as you went farther back, but for the front I would worry because of the windmill and elephant on each side.
This link shows the obstructed view on the far sides, so I might avoid it.
Avoid extreme house left, dress circle at all costs! (That pix^) You can see less then 1/2 of the stage.
Can't speak to extreme house right, but while it would be better (no windmill) I can't imagine it's good.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I sat in House Right Orchestra row L seat 16 (starting in seat 18 and upward they warned of limited view) . Despite there being no limited view warnings popping up when I purchased my seat, I recall that twice, for a couple of minutes, that I was not able to see something on the house right side of the stage. I believe both times it was Aaron singing (NOT during Elephant medley and not Roxanne and not Chandelier --I'm too lazy to take out my Playbill and recall which song) - heard his voice but couldn't see him - not tragic but I remember being pissed given the cost of those seats that there was any obstruction. Hope this helps as to what not to pick.
At the "Gala opening" there were quite a few empty seats stage left in the Dress Circle, especially beyond the first row. Also empties there stage right, but not as many. I think they were aware of the obstruction and either moved folks or didn't sell those seats
Sat in Orch K18. You miss some action at the back of the stage left area (parts of Bad Romance/Roxanne numbers). It wasn't severely limited though imo.
