Help me choose seats

My husband and I have seen a few shows in New York, but they've always been with school groups or purchased from the TKTS booth. He's been dying to see Wicked, so I want to give him tickets for Christmas. But I'm not sure which seats to choose, because I'm not a Broadway expert.

My budget will allow a certain price. And for the date that I want, I have two options that are sticking out. I've narrowed it down to Orchestra row D seats 113-114, or Front Mezz Row A seats 20-22. I've read two schools of thought online. Front center orchestra is best because you can see the facial expressions. And front mezz is best because the set is built in such a way that you need to be up higher to get a full view. (But there are no center mezz available.)

So, what's the best? I don't want to give him crappy tickets for Christmas!

I'd go with the center orchestra seats too, especially since those front mezz seats are off to the side.
