#1Lion King Tickets - How are These Seats...ASAP!

I want to see the Lion King. I found Row B, Seat 107. How are these seats? Are they too too close so that you can't see the feet of the performers? I know at some theaters the first couple of rows are so close and the stage is so high up. Is it close enough so that the animals are in your face in the beginning or is that only the first row? Thanks.

Is B actually front row because the Nederlander official website lists the first row as B for the Lion King, but I've been finding seating charts with Row A...unless they took it out for Lion King.

The one here says B:

I've been looking up Minskoff Theatre seating charts though and they all say A, so I'm confused.

Disney renovated the entire theater. They very easily could have removed a row or two and the older seating charts dont yet reflect that.

Is the stage now too high up like the Al Hirschfeld? Or is it a bit further back like at the Marquis? And if they are front row or not? If someone could help me ASAP that'd be great.

While the seat is a bit close, for The Lion King, I think you'll appreciate it and won't mind having to move your head a bit as the action moves to different areas of the stage. While you might not be able to see the feet of the performers, you will certainly be able to fully appreciate the visual detail of the show.
