Need Matilda tix ASAP and can't decide

I want to see Matilda on either June 30/July 1st/July 2nd, so a little flexibility. Price isn't a huge issue, but I want the best bang for your buck.

Looks like I can get middle balcony for $37 each, first row mezz (off to the side) for $89 each, or second row orchestra for $89 each.

I've heard mixed things about the balcony (including potential pole view obstructions). For second row orchestra, they're off to the side a little bit, so I'm wondering if it'd be hard to see the far side of the stage. The tickets next to it are like $134 each, so that makes me worried about these $89 ones.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

first row mezzanine off to the sides are obstructed views. (We got moved there from next to last row of mezzanine which were even more obstructed)

ORCHESTRA!!!!!!!!!!!!..even on a side. Sure you may miss a few side angles of the set and you won't always get the whole picture as you would from the mezz or balcony.

But there are so many things you WILL get...a close up view of expressions and faces, a much more personal view of the show ..and it's a lot easier to understand and hear everything close up. It's so worth it. (plus the actors run up and down the orchestra aisles..so fun)≥
