I've never seen In the Heights and I'd really like to see if before it closes, preferably when Lin Manuel Miranda is back in the show. That being said all tickets are now premium pricing except for some in the rear mezzanine, which are still going from somewhere between $50-100! My question is, how are the seats in the rear mezz, and do you think it's worth it to pay that kind of money considering I've never seen the show?

The first two times I saw the show from rear mezz, the third time was front row through lotto. There's nothing wrong with the rear mezz seats, but with any show, sitting that far back, you don't get to really see the actor's facial expressions. I've had a great experience every time, regardless of where I was sitting, if that helps!

When I saw the show at the Rodgers, I sat first row of the rear mezz and it was great. I also hear that the back of the rear mezz is good too. I find that the show is best viewed from farther back because the intricate staging and choreography is the best part.

The rear mezzanine is perfectly fine at this theatre. You don't even need to be in the center section to see well.

I sat in the last row of the rear mezzanine for Lin Manuel's final performance and the view was fine (although I do prefer sitting closer).
