Hamilton Help: Where To Sit?

Hello! Traveling from a tiny farm town in Washington State to NY for my 30th birthday -- and ditching all my friends to see Hamilton one of the nights I'm in town :)

 

Since I'm going sola, I could use y'alls help in my 1-ticket options: $250-$280 for Rear Mezz, (Row B-F, respectively). Or $312 for Orchestra Left or Right, Rows C-E. These are described as "Partial View."

 

Please help, Broadway World! Which is the best purchase? I don't mind a bit of obstruction, nor do I mind sitting in the back... I'm just really looking for the most enjoyable experience of the two options.

 

Really appreciate any and all advice! Thanks so much!!

I can't directly comment on those seats, but I know there are lots of comments about seat particulars on here.  I sat in the back, far side of the first mezzanine this summer and it was a great seat.  The second its still pretty close.

I'm mostly responding because you're from WA!  Me too.  I've flown over twice to see it already!!!  Have fun!  You'll love it.

I would definitely do the $312 for Orchestra Left or Right, Rows C-E.  I've sat there twice and the amount of time your view is obstructed is very, very minimal - and seeing the performances up close is really a treat.  Leslie Odom Jr is giving the performance of a lifetime - and I was able to experience it much more intensely being up close and seeing all the facial expressions.

I'd pick orchestra if it were me!
