Bandstand Seating

Looking to buy a ticket to Bandstand for tonight. I'm looking particularly at orchestra rows A and B. Are these too close to the stage or would I be able to see everything? Or would I be better off getting front row mezzanine?

I sat in row B (left side orchestra) a few weeks ago and saw everything with no problem and loved it. Some people might prefer the front row mezzanine better because they like to watch dancing being up higher.

I sat in row B of the side mezz, seat 8. The view was fabulous and very close to the stage. The seats themselves, however, are brutal. My mom and I are short (5'3" and not big people. Our legs barely fit and everyone around us was complaining about it. The two tall guys next to us left during intermission and never came back.

Thank you for the replies. I actually decided to rush it to save money and got right orchestra L26. Thankfully it was an aisle seat, otherwise I would have been crippled.

I am 6 ft 2 in and I was ok in orchestra seat not on the aisle, guess the mezzanine is worse.

How high is the stage for this show? I like being close, but not when I have to look up the whole time.

I sat in the front row, and it's decently high.  I think it would be great in the front row mezzanine to take in the whole thing.  I have seen it in other orchestra seats, but for the last time I will see it, I booked a front row mezz ticket so I can see the dancing from another angle and to take in everything from a little further away.

I generally don't enjoy being upstairs, so will almost certainly go for somewhere in the orchestra. Do I understand correctly that you do not recommend front row because of the stage height?

Yes, I do not recommend front row.  You will be looking up the whole time. The second row is fine, though.
