Where do people recommend sitting for Network... Im going by myself, Im short (57)... I realize this is a very multi-media production, with things going on everywhere. I cant afford the on stage seating, so Im looking for suggestions for within the house... orchestra? Mezzanine? Etc.? Thanks so much for your suggestions!

I would say close, if you can. And specifically for this production. The closer you are, the more you can focus in on the actors. The further you are, the easier it is to focus on the screens. A lot of the show is on the screens as well so they do play a factor. Cranston is outstanding though, so you'll enjoy anywhere you are. Enjoy the show!

I saw Network first row center mezzanine. For me it was excellent as most actions are center stage.

It's not a conventional show, but good seating is rather conventional. Closer is better, centered is better.

But, by design, no seat will ensure you see everything without looking at screens, as that is impossible.

Similarly, no seat off to the side is truly partial view, as the screens ensure you see everything?

I think I ended up fourth or fifth row, on the center orchestra aisle, as I just waited until they downgraded premium seats to regular price about 5 hours in advance.

How is 3rd row orchestra all the way to the side?  They have a $69.00 seat I am looking at.  It is either that or the balcony and I seem to remember the leg space in that theater being horrid in the balcony.

I’d go with that side orchestra seat.

That same seat is available for more than a few performances.  Thats why I was questioning it.

On which side? House right is better than house left for the partial view seats

I’m considering orchestra A 1 which is left side of orchestra in the first row on the aisle... is that too close? Will I be able to see the projections/screens? Or is further back better?

Too close. The stage is high, and the glass control booth on that side of the stage can make house left less than ideal if you're not further back.

Too close for row c as well?

For partial view, I think C is fine, especially since you'll be house right, and it's only $69. If you can get something similarly-priced a little further back, that might be better, but, if not, go with C 10. Seat A 1, as far as I know, is either premium or at least full price, which is why I wouldn't recommend it.

I can go with either A1 or A2... neither are premium... but from the sounds of it they both sound too close??

I can guarantee that being center is more important (for this production).  If you can get as close as possible and still be center, even better.
