Imperial Theater/Great Comet-seats with leg room?

Hello all!

I'm planning a trip with my parents to see "The Great Comet of 1812;" my parents are around 6 feet.  I saw "Comet" in December and sat in the rear mezzanine and, as expected in older theaters, there wasn't a lot of leg room.  Are there any seats/sections that have ample leg room for taller people?

Thank you!

The banquettes were very roomy with the added bonus of being on stage.

Especially if you get seats like BC 23/21 - nothing in front of you there! But I found all the banquettes roomy

All the onstage seating is roomy, obviously, especially the banquettes and the stools, but if you're on more of a budget, the orchestra and mezz seats next to the little end-tables (the tables with the little lamps on them) are a bit better than the other seats, since you can kinda spread your feet into the end-table space.  If you place one parent on each side of an end-table, that might work...

Unfortunately, the old "buy-an-end-of-the-row-seat-and-spread-into-the-aisle" trick doesn't work so well when the actors use the aisles a lot...

I recommend Row G in the Right Orchestra and get a seat on either side of the table. I did this when I went and we were able to put all our stuff in the middle area AND have great leg room. The view is great and performers come right in front of you since there's a platform there and it makes the expereince even better. I got a letter, shaker and pierogi!

Definitely can vouch for the mezzanine next to the tables, I sat there and had plenty of leg space (I'm about 6 foot myself).
