I would say the rear mezz seats. That way you know you are actually going to see the show. The view is not bad at all. The mezz is more slanted than high so the view is fine.

The seats would be like front mezz seats at the Palace.

Don't forget, Hair has SRO tickets, too- an alternative to lottery, particularly on weekends when performances are most likely to be sold out. Just get to the box office when it opens.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
I have won lotto twice; once I was further "in" the box, meaning on the aisle, and once I was in the seat up against the outer part of the box.
The seats on the aisle are obstructed because of the heads in front of you and for some seats because of the scaffolding on the sides of the boxes but the seat on the outer most part of the box is fantastic. No obstruction...perfect view.
I haven't sat in the boxes at the Broadway but the boxes at the Hirschfeld are pretty good. Plus you get some unique interaction with the cast in the boxes.
Anyone have anything to say about SRO for Hair? I'm dying to see it but I'll be in the city with two other people so we don't know want to count on the lottery seeing as though two of us would have to win... and we're poor college students so we don't want to pay full price. I've done SRO at the Shubert and the Circle in the Square and I was pleased with both views.
How is the SRO view? Do people line up for SRO early like they do for rush tickets? If so, what time would you suggest we get there on a tuesday or wednesday? Any information is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
tuesday/wednesday there shouldn't be a line for SRO, but make sure the show is sold out. the people at the BO wait til every single ticket is sold before selling standing room. it's definitely worth it. the show makes you want to dance anyway so if you can stand for 2 1/2 hour go for it. cheaper, fun, lots of cast interaction, and good view of the stage.

Standing room is great if they have it. You can dance along and get a lot of the cast interaction as they come up the aisles. The view is fine and the ledge is low (unlike at the Broadhurst or Lunt-Fontanne) so it is easy to see over.

Actually won last saturday and it was fairly crowded, I couldn't believe it. The only comlaint I have was that we got last row in the box and both of us were really short and everyone else was really tall. Just my luck! And the guy in front of us kept leaning in to talk to and cuddle with his girlfriend which left me with almost no view. The bright spot was that in the right box the actors are up there a lot and we got lots of interaction and even hugs. Luckily I had seen the show before or I would've been more disappointed by the lack of view.

How has the lotto been recently, particularly for a Wednesday matinee? I know the show was at 100% last week, so I'm guessing it's been crowded. How many people should I expect?
I did lotto this past Wednesday matinee and it was very crowded.
