A Bronx Tale Seating Question

I apologize in advance if this question has been answered elsewhere. I tried searching but didn't find anything.

While looking at tickets for A Bronx Tale, I noticed there are a handful of orchestra seats marked partial view. The seats are front orchestra house left. Does anyone know what is partial about the view from those seats? The seats directly behind them are not marked partial view, and there are seats further to the sides that are not marked partial view, so I am curious to know what about the view is obstructed or missing from those seats.

Thanks!

Front orchestra house left and right seats have a very poor view of the stage at the Longacre. They are to the side of the proscenium and basically you have to completely turn your head to see the stage (and it blocks part of the stage). The closer you are, the worse it is. I would definitely not recommend those seats!

Anyone have thoughts on mezzanine versus balcony seating for this show, or the Longacre in general? And it looks like the front row bar (at least in the balcony) is fairly obtrusive, so any thoughts on how many rows back to sit in order to be able to see over it easily? I'm ~5' 2" for reference.

And not related to seating, but has anyone tried rush lately? Is it selling them out early when the box office opens, or do I have a chance of getting a ticket in the evening? (~5:30/6pm) BroadwayBox has a decent discount but obviously rush would be better. Thanks all!
