I say try the lottery first - I was in the third row when I won. Most wins I've seen have been orchestra seats, but that's of course not a guarantee. It's likely that if you don't win the lottery, the mezz/orchestra seats you want will still be available since the show isn't selling terribly well (fun and wonderful as it is).
I also think there's a code somewhere for $80 weekday orchestra seats, and SpongeBob is on the TKTS board regularly. Lots of ways to see it from a great seat.

Looks far but photos don’t show distance well. How were the faces? Based on the overhang on map it seemed close

It wasn't far at all and I could see the faces perfectly. I had to lean forward a bit to see the ramp thing at the front of the stage but not a whole bunch goes on there.

We did second row mez--great seats. We want to see it again and do the orchestra--seems like there were things going on down there we missed. Over-all, Mez was great and that pic--the objects on stage for that were micro and not life sized.

Has anyone sat in the front row? I'm looking at seats front row center, I will be going with a couple little ones and was wondering how high the stage is. It looks like the ramps in the center help buffer the stage height .... the stage has to sit further away from the front row because of the ramps. The 2 seats on each side of the center aisle are cheaper than seats 3 and further away from the center aisle .... I wonder why?

I saw third row center, and think front row is fine for this. The stage is low, and the characters do come down those ramps quite a bit.

I didn't sit in the front row for Spongebob, but did for the revival of Sunset Boulevard. The Palace is a very large theatre with a wide stage and I found the front row uncomfortable because I spent a lot of time visually scanning from side to side to take it all in. There are more visual goings-on in Spongebob than there were in Sunset, for which the set was relatively minimal. Just something to think about.

Assuming you mean orchestra, I believe that's the second row. The stage is low and juts out so you won't be hurting your neck or missing anything. Although the show is a sprawling spectacle, and most will say front mezz is ideal, I LOVED being that close (I got third row through the lottery). There's crowd interaction and other stuff that happens in the orchestra, so you've got that added bonus. I've sat in rear orchestra and the balcony as well, and the third row was hands down the most fun. You're going to have a blast sitting there.
