95% of the show is played downstage, so the partial view seats are almost entirely fine. I had to crane my neck for a portion of No Way and missed a bit of Cleves at the beginning and end of Get Down. Cumulatively, I missed no more than a minute of action.
The seat was almost as far house left as you can get. I will say that row C has a couple seats even further left, and those folks couldn't see anything at all when a character went upstage.

Interesting update regarding the lottery. Yesterday my friend was notified at 9:01am that she was selected for stand-by lottery seats. The email said if a regular lottery ticket is unclaimed she would have the opportunity to purchase a lottery ticket. Then at 10:02 she received a second email saying she won the lottery.
I think it’s really cool that they are giving out unclaimed lottery tickets to the digital lottery for the discounted cost of the ticket.

This is the procedure for all of Broadway Direct's lotteries, I'm pretty sure. I also got placed in this pile for Angels in America. I'm glad they don't let the tickets go to waste.

So far during the first few days has the front of the rush line exclusively gotten Front Row Center ... maybe 8 seats in total? Then afterwards what? Some of the Front Row Orchestra Left/Right, Far-Side Front Orchestra rows A-E & Box Seats? With the lottery winners getting the rest ( 30 rush / 30 lottery )?

Are you sure that you didn't sit in row AA, not A?

Did you mean AA111 - AA114?

it seems like rush has been AA 101-104 then 111-114 and then i guess AA 105-110 have been lottery?

Can you explain this? Are certain exact audience seats always interactive in some fashion?

SPOILER ALERT:
During Get down, she always asks an audience member to dance, usually in the front row

Front row sure but never an exact seat? Always Center at least or sometimes asks Orch AA Left/Right?

The day I went, my friend was picked (she was in AA111). It's going to be close to center as that is where Cleves is positioned at that point in the song. Definitely wouldn't be left/right sections...those are too far away. I'm assuming she is also checking out who is most excited before this point to select someone that will have fun and actually get up and dance. This was very true for us - my friend is a big fan of the show :)

we had to wait another hour for them to sell the standing room, though :/

Your friend danced directly in front of their seat or was brought up on stage?

Depends on date, how many tickets you need and if you care where you sit.

"In boston it was just standing and dancing near your seat.
