Looking to purchase tickets for Beetlejuice for my upcoming trip. I need help in selecting seat location at the Winter Garden.  Front row orchestra, first row in the mezz., or any other suggestions.

Also seeing Slave Play and the Sound Inside, any seating recommendations for these would be helpful. 

Thanks in advance.

Re: The Sound Inside, the word on the street is that the Rear Mezzanine of Studio 54 is very uncomfortable. (I haven't sat in it myself, but this is what I've heard from others)

Studio 54 has the worst rear mezzanine I've ever had the displeasure of being in. You are so far back, removed from everything, it's the worst. Front mezz and Orchestra (as close as you can be to the stage) is truly the only way.

The mezz is really far back at the Winter Garden (overhangs row O I think). I just looked at a seatview from row A of mezz and the stage looks so far away. I sat in the fourth row house right and loved the view. I would say front orch over front mezz for sure.

I sat in the rear mezz of Studio 54 many many years ago and don't remember it being terrible. Isn't 54 a relatively small theatre? Is the rear mezzanine really much further away than 'cheap seats' at other theatres?

I sat front row center mezzanine seat A116 and thought the view was perfectly fine... 

...wouldn't hesitate booking it again.  

There were no issues seeing facial expressions (mainly because most were over-exaggerated) or missing any action on stage. Despite the normal view picture looking really far away, in person it was fine. Go with the best seat you can afford.

We sat 2nd row in the middle of the mezzanine.   I found it to be a great view.

First time at Beetlejuice I sat 2nd row mezz (a little off to the right) and thought the view was just the slightest far back for me. I think just one row up would be better. The 2nd time I saw it (literally just 3 weeks later) I got stubhub tix for just about under where I was sitting the first time. I actually found that better even though I usually prefer the mezz than orch. Sorry for this long post, but hope it maybe helped.

We were in third row, center mezzanine. Perfect view, close enough but allows you to take in the spectacle and quirks of the set design without being overwhelmed by it.

 

With the Winter Garden, especially with this show, be sure to avoid extreme side seats. The sightlines are terrible, and not worth it.
