Hello, looking for tickets to 20th century fox and don't want to spend the money for orchestra seats/front mezzanine. Any experience on the partially obstructive mezzanine boxes? Thanks!

There are about four existing threads on this subject - if you do a search I'm sure you can find your answer.
Also - the show is called ON THE 20th CENTURY.

Quick answer: The box seats are perfectly fine. The partial obstruction isn't bad at all.
"Mostly, I loved the size of these people's emotions. Nobody has emotions this size anymore. Outsized emotions. Operatic emotions. Kushemski and Vanda are like Tristan and Isolde, they're Paolo and Francesca. Nobody's in total thrall like this anymore. Nobody's overcome by passion like this, or goes through this kind of rage."

The theater is also not called "the Roundabout."

Thank Autuomala for your answer and seeing through my obvious blunders and not seeing the need to correct me. Much appreciated.

It's also worth noting that even some Orchestra seats are partially obstructed. You won't see some of the nooks of the set if you're sitting way front, way right in the Orchestra (which is where I sat when I went). It doesn't affect your enjoyment of the show in any way, though. The partial obstruction wasn't bad at all.

It also depends on the show. I saw On The 20th Century about 4th row right orchestra and it was a PERFECT view for the $25 I paid.

I haven't been able to find a really clear answer on this question, but are the mezzanine box seats fine? And for two people which side and seats would your recommend?

Left box, the 2 seats in the back of the box, on the inner side (towards the normal orchestra seating)
