Which seats would be better
J 23-25
Or
p 2-4
Both in the Orch.

Im worried that The J 23-25 might be a partial view

What do you guys think?
Thanks

Those Row J seats are definitely partial view, but you can still see the stairs on top of which St. Jimmy enters from. Row P you have a much better view, but you're further back.

Yeah I thought they might be partial view but It's weird because They aren't the last 2 seats in the row (Which are where the $62 partials usually are)
I guess they're making more $ by selling other partials on full price

Well, I'd say P 2-4 if you want to be able to see everything, since some things happened on the sides. You might get a fuller view of it all.

If it's available, I'd suggest front mezzanine. I actually sat in the front row of the center mezz and thought it was great. I was a little hesitant to sit too close to the sage because I don't prefer American Idiot's style of songs (rock, loud, etc.) as much as traditional musical theater, but I also didn't want to have a side or obstructed view. From the front of the mezz I could see everything onstage (including when actors are on the stage floor as well as when they're higher up on staircases or flying) and definitely heard just fine.
