Al Hirschfeld Theatre-Seating Question

Hi there.
I am looking to buy tickets to How to Succeed in Business for January. I wanted to have seats close to the stage so that I can see the actors' faces (I'm a fan of Darren Criss who is taking over the role), but I'm not sure about the sightline at this theatre.

The available seats are in the right orchestra, row D, five seats into the aisle. I'm just worried that being all the way over to the right that I won't be able to see the stage. (I know that at some theaters the extreme side seats are horrible).

The other option is centre orchestra 12 rows back which normally I would like but, like I said, I'd like to be as close as possible.

I'd appreciate any help you all can offer.
Thanks a lot,
Lindsay

Saw the show back in august, and was in the 2nd row of the mezzanine. the mezzanine at the Hirshfeld is very close to the stage, and offers a clear view of the whole stage. Way better option than row M (12th row) of center orchestra

The row d seat you were offered is not extreme -- you shouldn't have any problems seeing everything.

Between those two, I'd go with D on the side.
