Bummers that they're not using the original floor plan like the original run. As you can see below, Orchestra Tables surrounded the majority of the wooden platform stage that thrust out giving the production an incredible intimate feeling as the actors were in your face, literally. Sad that the stage doesn't thrust out as much as before.
Having seen this original run over 25 times, my favorite tables were: 127 (actors passed you as they walked to the stage and exited), 124 (where they were right IN your face) and 128. I guess those must have been their house seats as I always got them the morning of the performance I wanted to see.
And to answer your question, based on the original floor plan, the side tables were pretty bad as you had a view of the actor's sides or backs since they performed to the front of the house. Since this time the stage platform doesn't thrust out as much, you'll get a sideview of the actors now. There are no sets, just props to represent set pieces: a trunk for Sally's dressing table. A chaise lounge. A group of chairs to represent the train, etc.
