Orchestra vs Mezzanine for Pippin/Side Show

Struggling to decide which would be the better place to sit and watch a musical spectacle such as Pippin and/or Side Show. On the nights I am looking at buying tickets for, I have a choice of Row C or Row K in the Orchestra section. I also can go with the center of the first or second row of the Mezzanine section.

I've only been to one Broadway show in my life, and that was years ago, so getting to see these two Broadway musicals is something that I don't want to "screw up" by picking seats that I won't enjoy the show as much from.

So... does anyone have any suggestions or preferences when it comes to seeing a show like Pippin, (or Side Show which I realize hasn't opened yet, but still, maybe someone can suggest something.)

I saw Pippin in the first row of the mezzanine, it was a perfect seat. You can see everything, and you're also close.

The front row of the mezzanine is a great seat both the St James (Side Show) and the Music Box (Pippin). I'm sure the orchestra spots are great too, but I generally prefer front mezz.

I saw Pippinn sixth row of the orchestra and loved my seat. You can still see everything. But the Music Box is such a compact theatre that I think any seat would be great. Although when Patina Miller popped out of the curtain, it felt like she was going to walk right up to me.

Thanks for the guidance! I was able to snag center of front row of Mezzanine for Pippin, and center of 2nd row of Mezzanine for Side Show.

Very happy and excited!!!
