Can anyone who's seen the show give me suggestions? Orchestra, Mezz, Sides? Thank you :)

as close to the stage and center is best.

I was in the front row of the orchestra and it isn't a high stage, so it was fine. Unless you're looking to save money and wondering where you start to miss things, views and such get obstructed, etc.

Just got home from the show and I sat in center orch H110 and my sightline was excellent. I noticed during intermission that the last 3 rows of the center orchestra are raked higher and made a note to myself that those wouldn't be bad seats if they are priced lower. Stroman has added so many visual effects that I was glad I was closer to the stage to fully enjoy them all.

For the best seats, avoid two-digit Orchestra behind row V, and double-digit seating above 14 (it’s off to the side), as well as any seats behind row F of the Mezzanine. The sides of the Mezzanine in this theater are decent seats. The Mezzanine overhangs Orchestra row O. The seating capacity of the Neil Simon Theatre is 1,445.

I was about 6 rows back in the orchestra and my view was fine, although I imagine the further back in the orch you go, the more small things you miss. Some of the action happens right at the front of the stage, and people's heads were in the way even for me. Also, some of the sight gags seemed designed to project better to the mezz. I'm guessing that from anywhere in the mezz, you'll actually have a better view of of the show than in the orchestra beyond 10 rows back or so.

When in doubt, I tend to try for front row mezz...for any show. (Which is where I sat for this show...it was a great view!)
