It's the difference between $45 for the last rows in the balcony and $79 for the last rows in the mezz.  But it's students (parents) paying.

The seats in the balcony are fine for Dear Evan Hansen.  You'll be fine !

Is this a special student rate? I am looking and looking and can't seem to find ANY $79 seats in the Mezz for any performance.

No student prices, but we get a group rate since I bring 43 kids.

That balcony is very HIGH! I know I would not be happy sitting up there.

Sat in the balcony at the St. James and thought that was VERY high.  Would you say this is worse, equal, or better?

First we got seats for network in end of December 2018 at the Belasco Theater. The only seats the box office had was for upper box E. the seats are marked partial view and box is closest to stage. we have both seats in the box. They were very cheap $69 . I fear by being so high up and so near the stage We may be able to see very little. Does anyone have experience with these upper boxes. Also I cannot find a seating chart that even shows these boxes exist.

The leg space in that balcony is horrendous.   They would actually need to pay me to sit there.

The legroom and view from the balcony at the Belasco are some of the worst on Broadway in my opinion.

I am of moderate height and have never had a problem with leg room although I am quite flexible. I know some others do, and in a big way. Assuming you can overcome the leg room issue, here is a little trick I learned years ago, back when you had to enter the balcony through a separate door. The sight lines are fine in the center balcony, the problem is that the front of the balcony can occlude a decent slice of the downstage area depending on how the show is staged. But if you buy seats in the back row, especially in front of the booth that is up there, you can sit on the end of the seat (the part that's up when no one is sitting in it) and this gives you all the sight line you could ever want (except maybe if the show spills into the audience as it did in Hedwig). As a side benefit it gives you all the leg room you could ever want.
