Next To Normal Rear Orchestra Seating Question?

Hi, discovered this message board a week ago and been on it everyday since!

Anyway, here's the situation: My brother and I were thinking about catching NEXT TO NORMAL next month. But my brother is in a wheelchair and it looks like the only option for us to see NEXT TO NORMAL is in the wheelchair seating area, which is in the very rear of the orchestra.

Now I have read that because NEXT TO NORMAL has a three-tier stage, that sitting in the back of the orchestra will make us miss out on the top half of the stage because of the mezzanine blocking it...is this true? How much of the show does take place on the top stage? Did anyone else here have to sit in the rear orchestra and if so, how was the view for you?

Thanks for your help!

Also, I have seen at several theatres including The Booth, that folks in wheelchairs, may sit in aisle or front row seats and the usher will stow the wheelchair during the show. I think the only stipulation is that you would be responsible for assisting your brother in and out of his seat. Actually, it was at The Booth, that the usher had everyone enter the aisle from the opposite end so the disabled woman did not have to rise. They were very sensitive.
