Book of Mormon - Seating/Leg Room

Hi everyone,

 

I am seeking some advice on seating  at Book of Mormon.  I’ve never seen the show (and can only afford to see it once!), so I want to be sure I  choose the right seats.  One of my concerns is leg room, as the person I’ll be seeing the show with is over six feet tall.  Knowing this, and of course wanting the best view possible for the money, my options are:

 

Right Orchestra, Row M or N

Right Front Mezzanine Row A  (How is the leg room in the mezzanine at this theater?)

 

Which seats do you think would be the best option?

 

Thanks!

I've sat in the rear and mid-mezz at the O'Neill. I'm 5' 1" and don't remember having a ton of leg room, but that may not be the case for the first row of the mezz.

I sat in the side orchestra and remember there being not much leg room--my friend and I talked about how cramped it was. It was a long time ago (original cast) so I may just not have been as used to New York theater leg room, but in my memory it was worse than most orchestra seats I have had.

Anywhere in that theatre is bad for leg room, I once ws on the aisle and still felt very tight.View from Row M Orch is very good though.

Sat in the front right mezz (second or third row) and it was tight! I'm 6' even and was not particularly comfortable.

Seating in most Broadway theaters is tight. I'm 6'2" but thankfully don't have very long legs and leg room is always tight. My gf's dad is 6'7" and he had a nightmare when he saw Book of Mormon. Just the nature of the theater

Not to mention it's a very fast paced show with laughs every second, there isn't any moment that lets you think about anything but the show. (At least in my opinion)

It's a tight squeeze. The couple in front of us complained incessantly about the leg room. I think we were in section M or N. But my impression is that the whole theater is like that - not much leg room, not much of an incline. But it's a small theater. It didn't really bother me. (I'm 5'9".)
