Question for people that have seen Hadestown

My daughter wants to go, and I've been in the Kerr for Springsteen On Broadway.  What would be better for Hadestown, Orchestra right or left? Does it matter?

I doubt it really matters but I would suggest orchestra left because quite a bit of the narration from the Hermes character occurs stage right.

They are great at playing to all parts of the audience, I would not be concerned at right or left. If it came down to the exact same seats, I would go with left as there's a few great moments there.

I would also recommend a little ways back, to get the full impact of the bigger numbers. I was pretty damn close when I saw it and all I could think during Wait for me was 'man I wish I was a few rows back'

House left, halfway back.

Don't sit in the mezzanine x

I've always found the mezzanine at the Kerr to be great.

 

The balcony, however... avoid like the plague.

I meant more that it's an intimate kind of show and when I saw it from the Mezz I felt very disconnected from what was going on.
