Life of Pi - seating question

For those who’ve seen this in London, would the show be best experienced from the center orchestra or the front mezz?  The Schoenfeld seating chart shows the mezz overhangs row J. That’s about 11 rows back…considerably farther than I usually try to sit. I just wonder if the staging might be better viewed from upstairs.

I’ve also read that seating in the mezz there is a tad cramped. I’m hardly a petite waif and would rather not be uncomfortable for the duration of the play.

Any helpful insights would be greatly appreciated.
