I've sat in the restricted view orchestra seats in rows B and C. They're not a bad view, but I already had seen the show several times before that, so I can't accurately tell you whether they'd be okay for someone's first time at BoM. I don't think you'd miss any major plot points or seeing any characters for a significant amount of time, though.
