For my dates I can only get Row Q (last row) of the orchestra or Row B of the Mezzanine (4th row).  I am usually much pickier for great seats and I am not usually a fan of the mezzanine, but I really want to see this show.  HELP PLEASE!

It’s one of the smaller theatres, and pretty intimate.
 

I can’t speak for you, or for anybody, but personally I would much rather be in the 2nd row of the mezzanine than the rear orchestra. And I’d say that for most venues. Being at the rear of the orchestra can sometimes make me feel swallowed up by the overhang, and the feeling of looking over rows and rows of heads can make me feel further away than i actually am. 

But if you’ve been in other venues and feel differently, then please do take that into account. To each their own. Like I said, it’s one of the more intimate theatres so I don’t think either seating choice would be terrible. And the orchestra at the Friedman does have a slight rake, so hopefully you wouldn’t have much trouble with people sitting on front of you. 

But yeah, if I had to choose, I’d personally go front-ish mezz almost every time.
