Brooks Atkinson Stage Height (Spring Awakening)

I am looking at different ticket options for seeing Spring Awakening at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. One option I am looking at is sitting in Row F of the center orchestra. From what I understand, the set has multiple levels. If I sat this close would I potentially miss any of the action or would any of the supertitles be blocked or difficult to see because of the height/angle? Would I have to sit and crane my neck for a lot of the show? From what I have read on other threads, it sounds like people are saying that the mezzanine is the best place to sit for this show, but I don't have the best eyesight and I have not really liked the Brooks Atkinson mezzanine when I have sat there in the past. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

I sat in center orchestra, row D yesterday. No trouble seeing the supertitles or other projections, but because the stage is quite high, it was hard to see some of the action on the set, particularly toward the end of Act 1, when Wendla lies on the center of the stage. The people in front of me weren't exceptionally tall or anything, it was just an awkward angle. Didn't feel my neck craning. For reference, I am 5' 5".

The stage at the Atkinson is not high at all. I sat B1 and had the most perfect view of every single moment of the show. Supertitles and all. Row F, Center Orchestra would be a dream seat for this production!!!

I was on the left hand side of the orchestra (from the audience perspective). I think the struggle with the chalkboard mainly comes in with an actor blocking it. In the classroom it was usually Patrick Page if I remember correctly so sitting in the center, you shouldn't have that issue. I'm not sure about how close you're sitting. I don't think it will be a problem but I will say that one good thing about this production is how spread out it is so wherever you are there will be something to see and maybe even something that you'll notice and someone else will miss.
