Play That Goes Wrong Seating Advice

Can anyone who has seen this show from center orchestra offer advice regarding optimal proximity to the stage? My options are row AA, row A, row C, and row F.

I like to be able to see facial expressions clearly, but I don't know how high or wide the stage is at the Lyceum. My instinct is to go for row F because I prefer not to continuously look up and/or scan from left to right, but if the stage is low and relatively narrow, then closer might be fine. Thoughts?

The stage is not especially high or wide but there's a small amount of performance that takes place in a box, stuff that's worth seeing well, and a raised platform on one side of the stage that would have you looking up a fair bit from the front row. I'd argue the Row C or F seats would be best.

Thank you for this! I went with row C.

I saw the show from the front row center. It is hard to look up sometimes. Plus you get wet from them spitting all over the place. C will be better

Spitting?!? Glad I went with C.

Thanks HSky; it's hard to tell because the picture is small on here, but may I assume you're saying that the stage is relatively low? It's doesn't appear to be wide.

Correct, it's not particularly high. It is better to be towards house right, though, since it's good to have a view of the house left box that's visible in my photo...

We got orchestra center row C, seats 105-106, which are slightly off-center towards house right, so it sounds like we should be good - thanks!
