Oriental Theater in Chicago Seating

So, I was able to get 2 tickets to Dear Evan Hansen in Chicago at the Oriental Theater. The best we could get is Dress Circle on the Right. We got seats LL 2 and 4. The seats are on the aisle and the one right next to it, but it's been a long time since I've been in the Oriental, and I don't remember how the Dress Circle is set up, and how good a view we will have, since Row LL is second to the last row in the Dress Circle.

Is the Oriental a huge theater? Has anyone sat near the back of the Dress Circle section, and can comment on the view of the stage? I've already seen Evan Hansen when it first started, so I'm not too worried, but my guest has not seen it, and I want to make sure this will be a great experience.

Thank you in advance for any information you can give.

How is the view less than ideal?

And yes, I'm well aware we're lucky we even got seats. There's hardly anything left on the date we're going, and no 2 seats available together.

Thanks so much for the detailed information and good weather wishes! Yeah, we're going February 23rd, so hopefully the weather will be semi-decent that day. I live in Southern Wisconsin, just above the border of Illinois, so I can take a bus or train down, both of which are only 2 hours away from Chicago, and drop off about 10 to 15 minute walk away from most theaters.

I am also seeing Tootsie on Saturday, October 6th. I'll be going alone on that trip. I have a seat on the main floor for that performance, Row B, Seat 103. That ticket came with the Suite Service, so I'll be sure to arrive early to take advantage of that.

Between those two shows, plus my upcoming NY theater trip that I am taking with my girlfriend and another good friend December 10 to the 15th, I have a lot to look forward to.

Thanks again for the help!
