Are the 41.00 rear mezz seats worth getting and can you see fairly well from there in this theatre?
I sat in the rear mezz and the seats were great. You can see everything perfectly fine from up there. Plus, it's a big show so it plays well to the rear mezz.

It's a little high, but totally fine. It's great to be able to see the huge set pieces from up there.
Hasn't this question been asked like fifty times?
Yes, the rear mezzanine seats are great.
There was a thread like 20 hours ago. I know because I posted in it like 4 times.

I sat in the second to last row Saturday night and I think seat was better than the $87 partial view seat I sat in two weeks ago. I was not distracted that I was not missing a bit of the action.

There are only 23 rows of seats at the Imperial Theatre, so the rear mezz is fine.
After reading this thread yesterday, I bought tickets to the Sunday matinee for rear mezzanine $41.50 tickets thinking that the seats would be good enough....
Now, I consider my eyesight to be pretty good and I have pretty good hearing, but I actually could not understand 90% of what the characters were saying on stage because the mics were low volume and their accents were so strong and difficult to understand regardless. I also could barely see their faces or expressions. I thought that they were AWFUL seats. If you really want to enjoy the show, PLEASE shell out the extra money. In fact, I was so unhappy with the seat (and the show) that I left after the first act. Lesson learned! There is a reason those seats are so cheap! I'm not really sure why everyone else seems to think they're fine!
