Waitress ticket advice + Caitlin Houlahan schedule

Hi again y'all!

I have a couple questions for you all. First, I wanted to ask what seats you would go for if you were me? I'm deciding between orchestra row F-G (either side of house...seat 9 or 10 depending on side), the front mezzanine center, or the the rear mezzanine on the aisle. For the orchestra and front mezz tickets, I can get those for around $100 after the fees and for the rear mezz seat it's about $60. I saw that the rear mezz aisle seats have ample leg room due to their angle so that's a big plus but would the closer seats be worth the extra $40? To help gauge my interest for your advice, I'm excited to see the show for Caitlin but not SUPER excited if you catch my drift.

Also, I was looking to go on a Wednesday night most likely and I was going to ask if anyone knew Caitlin's schedule so I don't accidentally book a night she's definitely not going to be on. I saw there are a LOT more tickets available for Waitress on Wednesdays so I was worried that was the understudy/standby night in the schedule or is it just the slow night in the week like it is for any show? Anyone know for sure?

This board has already been an invaluable help in planning my trip. Thanks in advance!

I sat in the centre of the first row of the front mezzanine and it was an AWESOME view. You still felt super close but got an excellent view of the whole stage.

I guess my question would be then is that ticket worth the $40 bucks more compared to the rear mezz seat with the leg room? Honest opinion?

If you are going to spend more money on the ticket for the front mezz and you are concerned about leg room, you might try row D, the back row of the front mezz. I believe it has the most leg room...as  some seats are handicapped designated and those rows usually have wider spaces for leg room.

If you are concerned about the view, it's a small theater..and you can see from anywhere (though some of the far sides are considered partial view) ..and you can always stretch more with an aisle seat anywhere.

I don't know about anyone's vacation schedule but there is not an influx of people taking off on Wed night if that is your concern. It's no diff than any other day in terms of absences..

Caitlin plays all 8 shows. All the leads do. This isn't Phantom.

I'm 5'11 and had no problem with the leg room. I can't say if it's a better seat cus I didn't go up to the rear mezz but I found it perfectly fine for leg room

Thank y'all for the help! I will definitely keep all of this in mind in the coming days.

I sat in the rear mezz and it was great, it's a small theatre so it's fine. In some scenes I couldn't see their faces and expressions but overall it was great!
