Is there a good view of the stage from the front row at the Marquis?

I have a chance to get front row orchestra tickets to 9 to 5 before it closes, and I was wondering about the stage height at the Marquis. I've sat front row at the Gershwin and had a perfect view, but I know people who have sat front row at the Palace and had to crane their necks to see even a little bit of the stage, so I was wondering... will I'll have a good view if I take the tickets?

You will be looking up a bit, but you should be able to see everything pretty well. I saw Damn Yankees from that spot and saw everything -- and I mean EVERYTHING -- when the ballplayers sang "Heart" in just towels in the locker room.

I sat front row center for 9 to 5 and it was fine. There were a few times I wished I was back a bit further to get a better overall view of the set but I didn't feel I missed anything.

Curious about the conductor, kchenofan. My daughter and I had a lovely conversation with two of the orchestra musicians before the show and with the conductor after the show. The musicians were giving my daughter pointers about how to play for Broadway. The conductor, a woman, (don't remember her name) was very nice and even signed my daughter's playbill.

I sat front row for 9 to 5, and thought it was a great view. You should totally take the tickets. =)
