Looking to see Wicked next month and I am down to either sitting in Row F of Mid Mezzanine Seats 2 and 4, or partial view in Orchestra Row J or K. What do you all think?
Thanks!

Partial view in the orchestra is much better. Sit house right in the partial view if you can. J or K is fine.

Mezzanine at the Gershwin is not fun. Orchestra—even partial view—all the way!

I agree with the others. Orchestra partial view are great seats for the price, the farther back the better, row J/K would be great. Those seats in the mezz are both far back and right in front of the walk way to one of the exits, I sat there once and I was so distracted by the amount of people walking in and out to go to the bathroom/get drinks.

Do you need another opinion here? Okay. Here it goes.
I sat up front in the mez at the Gersh for Wicked. I said, "note to self: never buy mezz at the Gersh again." Orch, anywhere, all the way over the mez. To me.

My daughter and I have seen Wicked 10 times from every section - the show is so good any seat is fine - we sat last row Mezz on Opening Night and it was thrilling - further back is better than 1st row Orch - enjoy

Thank you all! I ended up buying Orchestra partial view row J house right. Excited! You all have made me feel a lot better. Thanks again.

I've seen the show a lot in every different section. I prefer being close to the stage so I always get the closest partial views. For a first timer Row J or K partial view is perfect.
Definitely go for the partial view tickets in the orchestra. That theatre is huge and sitting in the mezzanine you feel like your across the street.
