Assuming the stage isn’t too high, I’d go for second row orchestra. I was no fan of most of the show, but being so close to the performers (especially who is on for Tina that night) during the musical numbers might compensate for the weak book.
For most scenes, I don't think it would matter much. But I think the concert sequence that ends the show would best be viewed from the mezz. Second row would be way too close for full impact.
Just remembering you've had an "and"
When you're back to "or"
Makes the "or" mean more than it did before
Is this show mostly played downstage? I’m looking at tickets in rear orch but it seems like the mezz is really close to the front in this theater, so I’m assuming a majority of things upstage would be blocked?
I saw Tina in previews from left mezz row D (few seats off the aisle) and it's true that you will wind up looking on the top of performers heads. The overall panoramic view of the stage is great though, especially from the center of the mezzanine. I think if you'll go with the second row in the orchestra, you won't get the full view of the dancers legs and dance numbers are the best part of the show.
