I'm finally going to see Book of Mormon, after not being able to get Hamilton tickets (at least I've already seen it). I honestly can't & don't want to pay for the $352 or $477 seats. The $189 and the $209 are more in my price range. Some seats I see are Orchestra Row C 2-4, Orchestra Row H 10-12, Orchestra Row O 101-102, Orchestra Row Q 113-114, and Mezzanine Row A 6-8. Which are the best of these? I love this show and want a really good view.
Sidenote: I LOVE how Jujamcyn shows are now on Ticketmaster. Telecharge is truly terrible. Shubert should sell it and put their tickets on Ticketmaster also.

You should be fine in any of those mezz seats. The O'Neill is a pretty shallow house. The first time I saw Mormon, I was in the very back row, and I didn't feel like I missed anything at all.

But are the mezz seats the best?

If you've seen the show before, I'd say Row C is close enough to catch fun little details you may have never noticed.
If not, I'd say Row O Orch or Row A Mezz would be equally as good and offer a great view.

I remember sitting in the front part of the Mezz last year and NEVER being more cramped in my theatre in my life! Ill never go back to that theatre.

How tall are you? I don't think the rake is very good in the orch, so I would recommend the mezz. (I'm 5' 1", which may account for my liking the mezz and not finding it cramped. And not being able to see much from the orch.)

I am six feet tall. Not really that incredibly tall, but I do understand six feet is tall. Most of the time I am ok, but every once in a while a theatre comes along which is really just impossible for me to sit in. Watching BOM was really uncomfortable. You are 5'1". There is huge difference but I would say anyone 5'9"and above would be uncomfortable at BOM
The only other worse experience was the last row on the Stage R side of Classic Stage Company. THAT row was not fit for anyone.

Well, that makes sense. Sometimes I forget my short privilege!
