Looking for advice on where to sit. I’m trying to see the show on a budget, and don’t want to wait in line to rush, so am looking at balcony seats. I’ve heard mixed things, so wanted to get people’s opinions. For the performance I’m looking for, it’s either the very last seat in the last row on the left, or one of the seats with a pole in front in the center section. Have people sat in either one of these seats, and could provide insight on the view and whether it’s worth it? Thank you!

If you can do center mezz,  even last row there, those are better seats.

I got tickets for my mom and I last weekend (balcony F 10 and 12). It was my 3rd time seeing the show but her first. My mom said the moving/leaning of the person in front of her was more distracting than the pole and honestly I kind of forgot the pole was there and just enjoyed the show. And i didn't feel that we were too far to the side to miss anything sightline-wise. For me, I was happy to just be in the theater seeing a show I love! You do miss some action on the front of the stage but I don't think it's detrimental to the experience. I can't speak to the placement of the center section poles tho. 

I bought our tickets at the box office for $42 pre-Tonys and thought it was worth it 100%. Basically every other seat in the theater is over $100 so we felt good about our decision.

Hope this was semi-helpful!
