For Wicked would you pick Loge row A center or Dress Circle row A center? We have been to the theater before but only sat in orchestra seats!
Thank you so much!

If you're in row A I would say dress circle. Its lower and therefore slightly closer When get farther back less so because I prefer not to have the overhang in my vision. But that shouldn't be an issue in A.

The Loge is much closer to the stage than the Dress Circle. I would pick the Loge. I have sat in both. Although the Dress is lower, it is further away.

You know what? I was thinking of the Cadillac palace. My bad. I've only sat in the orchestra of the Oriental.

Will the railing be bad for our view since it is row a in loge?

I’ve never sat in the dress circle but I have sat in the first row of the loge. The railing shouldn’t be too much of an issue but it is there. Honestly, I would go with Loge Row C or D to make sure the railing won’t be in your way.

LOGE.  The center Dress Circle is in the very back of the theatre and the overhang often obstructs the top of the stage.
