Seating Help for Broadway Shows and Radio City Music Hall Christmas Show

Hi,
My mom and I are planning on coming to NYC Dec. 12-15 and we are trying to save some $$. We have looked at getting tickets for Mary Poppins, The Little Mermaid, Curtains, and The Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular Show. I was wondering if anyone can help me out on what the seats are like in the Mezz. and Balcony for Mary Poppins? I have heard that it is difficult to hear in the Balcony but Mezz. seats are ok. For The Little Mermaid we have found seats we have found seats in the Rear Mezz. center in several rows. What are they like? For Curtains we have found seats in the Orchestra and Mezz. Are the Mezz. seats ok? For Radio City, it looks like the seats are few and far between but I read on another message board that 2nd and 3rd balcony seats for the show are ok views. I know its a lot of information but we have only been to NYC 2 other times but this is the first time that we are doing it on our own so we want to make sure that we don't make a mistake. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Get the box seats for Mary Poppins. They're great seats (although slightly partial view, you can see mostly everythinG), and they're $25 ($30 if you go on the weekend).

For Mary Poppins you just need to make sure you're not under the overhanging mezzanine. I had 2nd row mezzanine seats off to the right (which is exactly where she flies out over the audience) and it was spectacular. =) You'll wanna see that, so don't get trapped in the back of the orchestra section otherwise you won't see her.
