I just purchased front mezzanine center seats for Wicked.

Row C.

Would appreciate opinions from anyone who has sat in or near these seats.

They are GREAT seats! I saw it from Row A in the dead center and the sight lines are perfect. You have a totally unobstructed view of the stage and you won't miss a thing. Enjoy it!

As a general rule, I think it's better to sit a little further back at Wicked, so those seats will be great, I would imagine.

The only time I saw it was in Chicago, and I sat in the seventh row on the end, not far from the speakers. Some of those uber-high notes in No One Mourns The Wicked nearly sent me into cardiac arrest and I was 15 at the time. haha

ehh you are very far away. very very far... the orchestra overhands the orchestra at like row U or something. aha

Row A of the mezzanine actuall overhangs Row O of the orchestra.

Thanks for your accurate appraisal.

The mezz is fantastic for Wicked. The first time I saw it, I was in the middle of the front mezz and absolutely loved it.

Ignore the seating snobs who think that if it ain't orchestra it's not worth it.

Waltero: Saw the show Wicked tonight and sat in the front mezzanine row d. Very nice theater with a lot of leg room for someone of my height. View was very nice. Daughter and her husband sat in rear mezzanine and said their view was fine also. I do not believe you will have any problems. Enjoy.

Thank you all for your input. Sounds like I might have the best seats in the house !!!

I wouldn't doubt it. I sat in the loge (very front and side of mezz) in the last row of it, right in front of row A and I had a perfect view. When you sit farther back and up like that it's hard to miss anything for a lot of shows, especially Wicked. Enjoy!

Apologies if this has been asked before, but does anyone know the areas of seats in which the stage sight line is blocked by a pillar? Thanks in advance.

I've seen the show at the Gershwin twice, and I don't recall seeing any pillars.
