I think it really depends on the experience you want to have. And a caveat, I have yet to see the Broadway iteration of this production, but I did see the first LA run. Yeah, it was in a tiny, 99 seat theatre, but I sat in the front row and they used a lot of the space there too. I know I missed things because of how close I was. But I also was so close to the action that at times I was immersed in it, and I personally love that as a theatre audience member. I'm sure that's a little different with the Broadway show. The stage is elevated above the audience, so that immersive feeling might not translate so close. But I don't mind missing things when I see a show. I think it makes me hungry to see it again. So, you have to choose intimacy or comprehensive as your experience.
Just never sit in the rear orchestra of the Richard Rogers. That is the most frustrating theatre experience I have ever had.
