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.

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!
