This is my first broadway show and I was wondering what the best seats are for seeing the Phantom of the Opera in the Majestic theatre. Some available seats I looked at were center orchestra in row T or in the left front mezzanine row E. If you have any opinions on which of these two seats would be better I'd like to hear it! If you have any other recommended seats or sections to sit in please let me know! Thanks in advance!

They'll both be pretty good, but my vote would be for the mezzanine seats, particularly if they're as far right as possible in that section.
Either way though, don't stress too much, they've both got good views and you'll enjoy it either way.
Go for the mezz - any section.

If it's between those two seats, you should definitely go for the mezzanine seats.
At the Majestic, orchestra row T is pretty far back. The mezzanine overhands the orchestra at about row J.
From row T, you will miss all of the Phantom's appearances on the catwalk at the top of the proscenium and most of the chandelier's ascent/descent.
Left front mezzanine would certainly put you closer, but I personally feel very removed from all the action when I sit up there. I've seen Phantom many, many times and almost always from the orchestra because I've never enjoyed mezzanine seating for this particular show.
Are these the only two options because the performance you're interested in is nearly sold out, or are other options simply too expensive? If the latter, have you checked the Telecharge Offers site?
