I posted this on the off-topic board and only received two responses. It was suggested I repost it on this board that I may get more responses.
It goes without saying, Hamilton is a tough ticket to purchase not to mention the insane ticket prices. That said, I am dying to see the show and trying to figure a time I could do a quick overnight trip to New York City.
What seat is best for Hamilton at the Richard Rogers Theatre? Orchestra, Row S, dead center OR within the first 9 rows of the orchestra to the extreme right or left, close to the wall.
All opinions and suggestions are greatly appreciated and welcomed!

Either will have their pros and cons. Row S will cut off the top half of the set, while the side of the orchestra will cut off that side of the stage. Up to you as to which you would rather risk.

Agreed, it comes down to your personal preference. Mine would be the closer seats on the extreme sides; you miss parts, but I can never get over the mezzanine overhang blocking my view.
(Unless the show has a lot of tap dancing — in which case, front row is no-go for me. Can't see the feet!)

I haven't seen the Broadway version yet (no one has!), but if the staging is similar to the Public's, not much really happens on the top level of the set. As far as I can remember.
