Norman Conquest seating

I will be making my semi-annual trip to New York soon and would like to see the Norman Conquest trilogy. Does anyone out there who has seen any one of the plays (or the trilogy) have a suggestion on where I should be looking for a seat--is there a "best" section of the theatre to be sitting in for these plays. Conversely, is there a section to avoid at all costs? Thanks.

They've redone the theatre for this production so that it's totally in the round; therefore, there really isn't a bad seat, view-wise.

I did the marathon yesterday and loved it. It doesn't seem like there is a truly bad seat since the theater is in the round and the staging gives you lots of "face time" from every direction. I have heard the 400's section is a little uncomfortable as those seats were added to create the circular auditorium, but I was in the 100's and didn't find it any more or less uncomfortable than any Broadway theatre - even after 12 hours.

I saw all three plays from different locations and, while they were all great, my favorite was house left as you walk in (200s).
