HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL SEATING

Question about seating for this show: In general, I like to sit close (usually between 3rd and 6th row depending on the house), and I like Corey Cott. Where is the best place to sit? Also is the second row too close in this theater? I saw some available seats there that cost a bit less. 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Honestly, I was in the second row of the balcony and that was a perfect full view and the leg room was quite decent (and that’s saying A LOT)

Thank you. I guess I should have specified that I am asking specifically for the orchestra, where I am going to sit.

If you sit in center orchestra second or third row aisle seat  (closer to house right), you’ll most likely be the one picked by Corey Cott to hold the boombox in act 2.

i watched the show from mezzanine and had a great view.

The stage is pretty high. I was in the second row center and thought it was too close, particularly for the dancing.

I posted that Viewfrommyseat picture! I'm tickled to have it posted here! 

I didn't think the stage was high at all... I could see all their shoes. 

Granted, it's not the best for appreciating the scale of the dancing, so you might miss some background dancers in the finale for example. 

When I buy tickets, I try to balance my poor vision and price, so I usually tend to buy close tickets.These seats aren't full premium price, and compared to other shows (like Network, Life of Pi, or Tina), this stage did not seem high at all. I was very happy with these seats.

The stage wasn't high when I saw The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window there....not sure if they adjust the stage though for this production.
