What can you see. I have only sat in the orchestra and Front Mezz but this year I am planning to see In the Heights as each major character actor leaves On Their last day. I am wondering how I'll see it. I have sat in the first Row and the 4th row and loved it. I'm afraid if I sit way far back it would loose some of it's magic. How are the seats?

Great. I've never sat there but I have been up there and it's a great view. I'm sure the lighting and Dancing is amazing from there. I have heard great things.

They're pretty decent. I sat in the second to last row of the theatre, dead center, and was able to see everything. I don't think it took anything away from the show at all.

I can't speak for IN THE HEIGHTS, but I did see CYRANO in the last row of the Rear Mezzanine in the same theatre, and the view was excellent.

I tend to be an Orchestra snob, so I was worried about being so far away, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I think you should be fine.

The first time I saw ITH was from row C in the rear mezzanine. Great view. I moved to the front mezzanine during intermission though as the last two rows were empty (this was during previews).

rear mezz is awesome, you get a full view of the stage, and you can really appreciate the choreography and lighting

Yeah, I sat it row F in that section and on the left side. Let me say, it hardly feels like you are on the side section because of the way the seating is set up.

Wait a second when are the actors leaving because I really wanted to see the original cast live?

I had no problem seeing from the last row of the mezz, but as a first time viewer, the acoustics made the lyrics difficult to discern some of the time. As you've seen it several times, it seems, I doubt that should be a problem for you. Enjoy!
