Where would you rather sit for Anastasia?

(a) Orchestra Center, Row K
(b) Orchestra Center, Row B
(c) Mezzanine Left or Right, Row A ( 5, 7 or 6, 8 
(d) Mezzanine Center, Row B
(e) Orchestra Right, Row G ( 6, 8 )

Thank you for any advice!

EDIT: Just two people, both around 5'6".

I've seen the show twice.  The first time was from Mezzanine Center, row A (I chose this seat), and the second time was from Orchestra Center, row C (I didn't choose this seat because it was a gift).

Personally, I loved both locations for their own reasons, and I especially like that I saw them from those locations in that order.  For my first viewing of the show, front center mezzanine was perfect.  I could see everything wonderfully, and being slightly back and raised meant that I could really take in the full set, all the choreography, etc.

For the second viewing, it was nice to be so close to the stage and the action.  I was able to pick out small details that I had missed the first time, and it was nice to see the show from a different perspective.  I'm also a musician, and it was nice to sit super close to the orchestra pit to hear and see the goings on in there and whatnot.

I think I might be stuck between C and D?  Honestly, all those are good seats!

Be warned. If anyone in your party is over 6'0, you are going to have major space issues. If this is the case, I'd recommend a box

When I saw Anastasia, I was sitting in the Left Mezzanine, Row B. Our seats were toward the left as is, and we had an amazing view. Nothing of significance was missed. Maybe if a performer stood a little to the left too much, but everything was crystal clear. I would recommend the Left Mezz or the Center.

Thanks for everyone's responses so far! If we were in Row A, left or right mezz, would the overhang in front of us (or railing) block any view on the stage (we're not tall)?

The overhang would not. At all. I'm not sure about the railing- since I didn't sit there- but it might obstruct your view a bit. I wouldn't recommend it.

If you're not tall (as I am), I will always recommend the front row of the mezzanine. The front ledge of the mezzanine at the Broadhurst has no railing, so there's no need to worry about your view being obstructed in any way. I wouldn't hesitate to choose those seats.

As a point of reference, here's the view from left mezzanine seat A 19, which is much further over than both of your front row mezzanine choices:

Personally, if I'm not in the center of either the orchestra or mezzanine, I'll usually choose the right over the left. It's just a personal preference, but, if I were you, I would pick right mezzanine A 6-8.

Looking for seating recommendation for our almost 7 year old. Of course she wants to sit front and center. I'm concerned about her view being limited and giving her a little wiggle room (she can sit between daddy and I if we're in the middle - she's not noisy, but she will shift in her seat more than an adult). I'm considering either front row center or aisle seats on first few rows of left or right orchestra to make sure her view is unobstructed. These are my options:

1. CORCH A 106
2. LORCH G 1
3. RORCH E 2
4. RORCH K 2
5. RORCH ROWS A, B, or C 2
6. LORCH ROWS A,B 1
