As a public service announcement, be forewarned before sitting in Row A for Dear Evan Hansen.  You're likely to end up with a sore neck.  You might wonder if it is preferable to see Ben Platt's face instead of the underside of a dinner table in several scenes.  The angle is ridiculous.  Fantastic show though, glad to have the opportunity to see it.

Oh yeah, on the plus side, one of the notecards from the speech scene at the end of act I could also fall in your lap.  That was pretty cool!

Agreed. It's not just that the stage is so high, it's that the seats are too close to it. That row of seats should have been taken out, or, at the very least, should be sold as partial view. I really enjoyed the show, but, dang, that was not comfortable!

That would make sense. Fortunately, I got my ticket from TKTS for 50% off during previews, so I really can't complain.
