Newsies/Nederlander seating

I saw old posts about seating from when RENT was at the Nederlander but nothing recent.
How are the side mezzanine seats for Newsies? Do you miss anything by being all the way to the side, for example Row CC 26-30? Or is it better to be further back but more center?
Thanks for the help in advance!

I saw it on Sunday evening and sat in AA12. It was a great view, and I don't think the seats all the way to the side would be much less good (grammar aside). There is little if any action on the sides of the stage that might be blocked by scenery or the proscenium.

Can anyone give me info about the extreme sides of the orchestra, especially way closer up to the stage? i was noticing on one date i am considering the price jumps down 50 bucks over to the sides but is still the second row. i am concerned the price drop is too good to be true.

and also, off topic, but is there any way to predict the best chance of seeing the full cast? go before the tonys? surely no one would have a planned vacation then? (obviously unplanned absence is different) would the box office be able to provide that info esp. regarding Jeremy Jordan? im coming up from DC so i like to try and ensure these things!

:) thanks for the help

Typically vacations are known well in advance and made known on ticket site. I know Telecharge does this, but haven't seen it on Ticketmaster (never really looked). The way I sometimes look at things is that cast members are least likely to call out of shows on the most popular nights of the week, like Friday and Saturday evenings. Matinees are probably the most likely for actors to be out.

I'm guessing the extreme sides of the orchestra are restricted view so have been price accordinly.

It would be interesting to see the show with understudies given that it's actually the other Newsies playing the main parts especially Jack Kelly, Davy and Crutchie.
