The Lion King Broadway - Question about seating for a 6 year old

Hello everyone. I am looking to take my son to see The Lion King for his first Broadway show when he turns 6 years old at the end of September this year. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on where would be best for someone his height, roughly 46" inches by then, to sit? I was originally thinking front row mezzanine so no ones head would be in his way, but would he be able to see over any bar that would be there? What about the "side box" areas, I believe row BB - FF? Is the mezzanine too far back though, as I know it is one of the larger theaters on Broadway. What about and aisle seat with a booster seat in the orchestra? Do they have booster seats? haha. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

"The Lion King" is the perfect choice for a 6 year to experience as their first Broadway show.  I would suggest an Orchestra seat, right on the aisle.  The theatre has boosters seats. His face will light up the moment the cast comes down the aisle, right there where he is sitting.

I so agree with this.  They have boosters.  Took my four year old nephew a few weeks ago.  We were in pretty "bad" seats.  Left orchestra all the way in the back.  He was fine with the booster.  We were prepared to take him out if necessary, but he sat there literally at the edge of his seat with his mouth gaping open.   I think an aisle seat towards the center would be amazing for his first show.
