Best seats for Harry Potter, Wicked, Beetlejuice, Hadestown & Phantom

Hi! My daughter and I want to see several shows in July, and I'd love to know the best seats to see the shows in order to book them now. Most of the shows have pretty good seating available in center orchestra as well as dress circle. We want to make sure to be able to see over heads :) .

The shows are: Wicked, Beetlejuice, Hadestown, Phantom of the Opera, and Harry Potter. Also for Harry Potter is paying up for the lounge worth it during the summer shows?

Thank you!

I've sat in the front mezz for Hadestown, and the last row of the mezz for Hadestown, and the view is superb either way. You really can't go wrong in that theater.

For Phantom, I recommend sitting either under the chandelier in center orchestra, or in the front of the mezzanine for the best experience.

Harry Potter, front of the dress circle would give an excellent view point.

For Hadestown I've sat pretty much everywhere except the balcony. I've seen the show from every section of the orch, mezz, and the boxes. My favorite spots were center orch row f and right mezz row c. I'm in favor of house left for a. the women's bathroom, b. a quick exit from the theatre, and c. the moment at the end of act 2.

I would not suggest front row mezz. I sat there twice and hated it. Having been on the Kerr's stage, the mezz is closer than you realize to the actors on stage- they can see everything you do in front row mezz.
