Phantom Majestic Theatre FRONT MEZZ Row A or B?

Hello, Phantom will be my first broadway show and I would like to ask people who sat in the Front Mezz Row A their experience.

I saw a picture that shows Row A has handrails in front and some walking space and then a railing. Does that obstruct views of the stage for people sitting in Row A especially for people with heights 5'3 and 5'5? 

I have a choice of sitting Front Mezz Right Row A (the very first seats next to center) and Center Row B or C. Which of these seating options would be a good choice? 

Thank you

The centered seats give a slightly better perspective overall, but the Row A seats mean you won't have anyone tall who feels like putting their hair up in front of you blocking the view. I'd go Row A.

EDIT: Also, I'm 5' 8" and the railing has never bothered my or blocked my view from Row A. Stay sitting up and you'll be fine.

It TOTALLY IS worth it to switch to Mezz A. That's my spot for nearly every show but Phantom was especially wonderful with that view. Enjoy!

Michael19- that makes a lot of sense- we sort of decided we would try sitting in the Mezz since we have both seen the show many times but only from the 3rd row on Broadway which we thought was almost too close, and we also saw it in Toronto MANY years ago and sat in the way way back of the mezzanine there. The view from front Mezz in the Majestic looked so beautiful based on the images I'm seeing online so we were interested to see the show from that section. 

I think she'll be ok with some stairs as long as she has a little extra legroom, so I'm still wondering if Row A somewhere in the center in the front Mezz has ample legroom or if I should stick with Row B on the aisle?

Lot666 - that makes total sense...I've sat front Mezz for many shows in other theaters and they are not all created equal. Front Mezz at the Shubert, St. James, Broadhurst and Nederlander were excellent, while the same seats at Richard Rodgers and even the Booth felt very removed to me. 

I think at this point I'm more curious than anything about the view up there so no matter what I will report back on my opinion :)

Do you think it would it be better to get seats in M 1,3,7 or K 13,15,17 (Orchestra L)?

I'd go with row M. I prefer not to be too far over to the sides, as you can see into the wings from there and it tends to spoil the stage magic and take you out of the experience.
