Hey all,
Looking to book some tickets for Catch me if you can, and I'll be taking my partner who is 6'3 so I need some advice on leg room...

Thanks in advance!

This doesn't pertain to your question at all, but for a second I thought "Leg Room" was the title of bad Neil Simon play!

I think the general rule is avoid the rear mezz
I've been in the front mezz and orchestra and didn't have an issue with the leg room and I'm 6 foot 1

I was in row E in the orchestra Friday night and actually felt that I had a decent amount of leg room compared to other houses (I was also on an aisle so that may have helped)

I noticed the stage was still pretty high
I saw Hairspray from the front row a bunch and it was good for $25 and to be so close, but the stage being so high was kinda annoying but I think you should go for atleast row E in the orchestra nothing closer
Front row mezz is always a good spot in any theatre
