Harry Potter seating suggestions?

I'm usually a center orchestra devotee, but I've heard that for HP being in the dress circle is actually better because there are things that happen you might miss in the orchestra? What would you choose between these 3?

Dress Circle Row C, a few seats in from the side aisle

Orchestra Row O a few seats in from the center aisle

Orchestra Row L about halfway down the row from the center aisle

All the same price so I have no idea what to choose!"

Dress circle. I sat in close orchestra, but I think some of the effects would look even better from dress circle.

As resident BWW Cursed Child fanatic, I’ve seen the show many times from nearly every section of the theater, so lol here are my two cents:

I will always recommend Orchestra over Dress Circle. The main reason being that the dress circle at the Lyric is very far away from the stage, so even from Row C you feel a bit too far back for my taste.

At the end of the day, Cursed Child is a 5.5 hour family drama with some awesome visuals. While I’ve enjoyed the show from the last row of the balcony, box seats, and the dress circle, I ultimately always have the best experience from the orchestra because of how invested you get in the story, and allow the visuals to kind of consume you. For those reasons, Row O or L would be great!

Also good to note that the seats in the sides of the dress circle are very far off center, as the center section has a massive amount of seats.

Enjoy the show!
