Just looked at the seating chart for a couple of dates I am considering (with discount code). Which seats are better - row N or P in Orch, or row B in Mezz? Thanks for your advice

I would take the mezz. I have seats in row A of the mezz.

Its a very close race between Row N of the orchestra, and the Mezz seats. Either one would be fine, just your preference between orchestra or mezzanine. Personally, i would go with the mezzanine seats. Just an absolute clear view.

Schaeffer has tried (only partially successful) to make the show about the 4 leads' story and less about the FOLLIES. I was in the balcony at the KC, and the view was fine but I would suggest being as close as possible to see the fine acting, and you won't miss any of the spectacle, cause there ain't any.
Most songs are done dead center.

Mezz row B would definitely be my choice.

Thanks - I'm probably going with Mezz B

I'm about to buy tickets but didn't want to start another thread.

Which is better: row D center mezzanine? or row E in the orchestra and off to the side?

I'd really like to be close for this one to see their faces, however I don't know how obstructed the view will be off to the side

Side view at Marquis is fine. I was in the furthest edge seats for both 9 to 5 and Wonderland.

I don't know how or if this will change when staged in the Marquis, but at the Eisenhower, there was a staircase stage left that partially obstructed views. At the Kennedy Center, I would not have wanted to sit up close, house right. House left was fine.

I agree. I sat front row at the Kennedy Center and the staircase created some obstructions for people on the far right in the first few rows.
