Is the front row for the Nederlander theater a good seat? I wonder if that stage at that theater is very high- I have heard that it is and I have the opportunity to score a front row seat. Please provide any feedback if you have been in this theater. Thank you so much.

I think this is a very hard question to answer unless someone is privy to how the staging will be. At the Armory, which is of course a huge space, the playing area was more or less contained in a glass rectangle (I mean, like a cube, but rectangular instead of square), which revolved. I have no idea whether the Nederlander stage designers will try to re-create this same effect. If so, the hydraulics may make the stage very high.
I've linked to a photo.
I have no idea how it was done in London.

Knowing nothing about changes for Broadway, I would think you'd be better off in the mezz or rear orch based on the design.
As a general rule of thumb, if the front row is being sold for cheap, the view usually isn't great (the exception being Hamilton).

Thank you- I ended up upgrading the ticket to third row center- I figured if I was going to make the trip to Atlanta- a few more bucks is not going to make much difference and IF the stage is indeed very high- as I have been told- at least I will have a great view. I had front row on the side.
Thank you again to all who responded. I really do appreciate it. -Mitchell
