Barrymore Seating

Looking at tickets for Curious Incident, I see that my best choices are front row center or aisle seats in row M. We normally enjoy front row seating, but wonder if the unique staging of this play might make the other seats preferable. Advice?

I would say that I enjoyed sitting in the front row or two of the mezzanine, because I was able to see the stage as a whole, but also I was able to see the drawings on the ground, which I'm not sure how well you'd be able to see them from the orchestra.

I'd think that the drawings on the stage floor would not be visible. I take it that this is an important factor in this show?

(After a couple of painful issues with legroom and irritating railing views, I avoid the mezz and stay in orch, if at all possible)

The mezzanine is a far greater vantage point for this particular show.

we were well up in the Mezz, on the outside aisle (for leg room!) and thought the seats were terrific up there.  Would have been sorry if we had been on the floor

Well. Mezz it izz, then. (...and if nothing good there, still probably better in M than A in orch, I assume)
