Four of us are planning to go to the Lyric Theatre in New York to watch Harry Potter. Two of us are very short (4ft 9"
. Trying to work out the best seats for us - Row A of Dress Circle or Row N of Orchestra. We have heard it is better to sit a little further back to appreciate the magic. Does anyone have any advice?

Absolutely go with the dress circle row A. Not only to appreciate the magic, but there will be a few minutes scene that can be only properly seen from the dress circle or balcony. I sat in the back orchestra before and missed it entirely. Row A is perfect.

I would highly recommend looking into orchestra row K; there is an aisle in front of the row so no heads will be in your way!

I know a lot of people recommend row K for this reason, but there's no rake in the gap between rows J and K, and you can still be blocked by a tall person/big head in row J, particularly the action that takes place at the very front edge of the stage (which I won't spoil). A very short person would probably still need a booster seat. However, the legroom is row K is unmatched.

Does anyone know where the lottery loser seats are for this show - is it just best available? Just got the email about $59 tickets after losing the lottery.
