Booth Theatre Seating Question

Trying to buy tickets for The Elephant Man, and for most of the dates I'm looking for, the orchestra seats (I would prefer orchestra for this show) are mostly rear on the sides. Are these seats still a good view? I think they're like rows m and o like 1-3 or 5-7. Thanks for the feedback!

The booth is a tiny theatre. I would rather be back further if on the side because you never miss anything and see it more from the perspective that the director was thinking about it. I would definitely go for aisle seats even if you need to sit back a row or two.

The rear of the orchestra is fine as the theater is small (as previously mentioned). You're basically fine anywhere as long as you're not right against the wall on the far sides.

Thanks guys. Now I'm looking at Orchestra Left Row J Seats 9 and 11. The seat numbers in this row go up to 15, which is two more next to me that are on the wall. Are these too far to the side?

Hello, again. New question: Is the Booth Theatre stage too high to sit in either Orchestra Right or Left Row A on the aisle? Haven't gotten the tickets yet, but they just released new seats like these. Are these good or should I opt for others like Orchestra Center Row K or Orchestra Left Row J on the aisle? Thoughts?

Center orchestra row K sounds like a great seat and would be my pick! Row J on the isle would be my second pick. I was never a fan of sitting in the first few rows. I like seeing the stage in its entirety... but that's personal preference. If you do opt for row A, the stage doesn't seem too high up so you should be fine.

Not a high stage, should be fine anywhere in the front.

Also, for mid-November, I just was able to get side aisle G in the orchestra at regular price, but later that becomes a premium ticket.

Even on the side I won't have to cram my neck?

I sat in the front row (Center) once at the Booth. I am 6 feet tall. I could not see anyone from the waist down if they were more than about 10 feet from the front of the stage. I thought the stage was very high, especially for a non musical house.

Hmm... didn't seem high to me, but then I was going by the Bette Midler show, and she just sat center stage the whole time on a couch.
