row A is the second row. the seats are perfect if you wanna be 6 feet away from the stage. i personally loved row A and AA. sat row C once and once row O. row O was a complete new experience for me having sat mostly in row A or AA before but it gives you a great overview.
i cannot comment on row R. but you might wanna check out the mezz to see if you could get something closer.
