Marquis Theater extreme sides?#1

For the date I want to see White Christmas at the Marquis, the choices I'm being given are:

Orchestra Row C seat 11 (the last seat in the row is 13)
or
Orchestra Row J seat 17 (the last seat in the row is 19)

What do you guys think? I am wondering if J, although farther to the side, would actually be the better view, but I don't really know the layout of the Marquis, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I think that someone ought to make a US equivalent of Theatremonkey.

I would say row J will be better just because you'll be back further so you won't have such a sideways view of the stage. Though I have sat in the front row of the Marquis all the way on the side for both Woman in White and Drowsy Chaperone and it wasn't bad at all. Some of it will depend on the exact set up for White Christmas, though.

And I agree, Salene, that someone should make a Broadway version of theatremonkey.com. If anyone out there has the know-how to build a website, I would be more than happy to share all the knowledge I have of the Broadway theaters.

I'm surprised such a website doesn't already exist.
