Seating advice please: View From the Bridge

I sat onstage in the 3rd row on the side furthest from the audience. I got a GREAT view from the 3rd row, and I probably wouldn't have wanted to sit much farther back, though you're probably fine if you do. I doubt you can go wrong, but if I saw it again and had my pick from all the seats, I would probably choose the 3rd row, but closer to the middle of the row, where the center aisle is. Maybe even closer to the audience.

Third row aisle middle was a great seat for me

"Would you prefer middle of the row or the end by the orchestra?"

I'm not quite sure myself, especially since I've never actually sat in those seats. Here was my thought process though:

(A) If you're in the middle, the advantage is that the action is right in front of you, so you don't have to turn your head as much.

(B) If you're closer to the orchestra, you have a better view of the things that are directed toward the audience like some of the times when the narrator character speaks. Also when I saw the show, I sometimes wished that I could see people that I had a better view of the door that the actors came through in the back of the stage.

Upon further reflection though, I'd probably stick with the middle.
