Seating Help for Broadway Shows (Mezzanine and Balcony)

I need some help regarding seating for some shows that I am considering buying tickets to. As with most people I am trying to save money so I am trying to get seats in the mezzanine or balcony sections, and I am worried about waiting until we get there to see if they have discounted tickets on TKTS. We are coming to NYC dec. 13-16th and the shows we have found tickets to are: Mary Poppins, The Color Purple, Curtains, and The Little Mermaid. I was wondering what the mezzanine seats or balcony seats were like for these shows? I have tried to find information online but can't seem to get any answers. The reason that I would really appreciate some help is because we got side mezz. seating for Chicago (didn't really know how the theater was set up) and we were only able to see about half of the show! I was very disappointed and I am taking my mom to NYC so I want to make sure that our seats are decent. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm... I'll try that again... cut and paste....

The Color Purple:


Curtains:

I sat in the right Mezz row D? I think for Curtains over the summer and the seats were great. I used a discount code so the ticket only cost about $60 plus the charges
