Too close.

But not because she's 4, because it's just too close for that show.

I actually like being "too close" so it's whatever floats your boat. The Lunt is pretty small but the first few rows aren't as "close" as everyone makes it seem.

Row L is definitely better. You can also always get a booster seat from the theater, just in case she can't see. You might also consider using diapers or training pants to reduce potty trips; I've done that with my son when I've taken him to the theater.

too close? is there such a thing when seeing a show? I would think you would want to get as close as possible...

Depends on the show and preference. But really, sitting too close can obstruct your view (little heads floating about Upstage) or it can overwhelm you with the big picture. Sometimes the effects may be ruined for you because you'll easily see everything.

I've sat "close" plenty of times and don't recall seeing just "little heads."

I'm speaking generally.

ETA: Also, I said you may see them Upstage, aka, "the back of the stage" in lay terms. Granted, it doesn't happen at every show, it depends.
