i got a rear mezz seat when i saw sweeney last week. the seats were fine. you could see everything, and you don't feel too far from the stage because it's not a huge theatre. the only thing i would watch out for would be if you have the first row on the side that extends out (if that makes sense) it's where the ceiling of the staircase is and it's a tight squeeze if you have legs. (i think it's row J or so.)
