I am going to see Waitress in May and I am really excited!  My mom and I have been looking for seats and found orchestra seating that were pretty close.  However, I am fairly short and I am worried that I will not be able to see everything on stage.  Where would be the best place to sit when seeing this musical?

I would say center orchestra or front row mezz.  I have sat in both.  Great seats!

I agree that orchestra center or front mezzanine are the best seats. The first row might be too close.

You'll miss some projections if you sit in the orchestra, but generally they don't make a big difference. If you would go for a side orchestra seat, please choose the orchestra right / stage left than the opposite. Otherwise you'll pretty much miss most of the kitchen scenes.

My friend and I bought partial view tickets to see Sara Bareilles in Waitress. We already saw the show last summer full view so didn't mind buying partial to save some money. We purchased right orchestra row E, seats 22 and 24. I'm wondering if anyone has sat here before and if so, how partial is partial?

I looked at the seating chart and saw row D directly in front of us were selling for full price, not partial view but the seats seem to align exactly, E doesn't extend further or anything. So, maybe a speaker in the way? 

Thanks in advance.

I’m lookimg to buy tickets to see Sara Bariellas in waitress as i haven’t had the chance to see her yet. I was thinking about first row center orchestra but was wondering if the stage is too high of it’ll block my view. Im only 5’4”

Certainly the first row mezz is good if you are short. And as a rule in most theaters, the front mezz has more of an incline than the orchestra so you have a better chance of not being blocked by a tall person in front of you.

That says, the best seats for any short person in any theater are the seats in the side sections at the center aisle. Any seat that is numbered 1 (house left) or 2 (house right) is not facing anyone but an open aisle and is basically a center seat.

Front of orchestra is a matter of choice. Some people like to be this close, others do not.

I have the option between second row orchestra left (1,3,5,7) and second row orchestra right (2,4,6,8). Based on the staging of the show, does anyone have a suggestion for which side would be better?

Orchestra right. If you are orchestra left you may miss the counter, which has a lot of action.

Right side is better.

Any of the 4 rows in the center mezzanine is perfect at the Brooks Atkinson
