I'm looking at seating on the far sides of the Orchestra at the Winter Garden theatre and was wondering which seats would be the best/least obstructed? The Winter Garden seems to be amongst the largest on Broadway so now sure how far back would be the most ideal. Thanks all!
Orchestra row V (last row) seats 18-20
Orchestra Right row P (far right) seats 42-44
Orchestra Right row K (far right) 30-32
Orchestra right row D (far right) seats 18-20
Orchestra Left row L (far left) seats 30-32
Orchestra Left row G (far left) seats 23-25
Orchestra left row D (far left) seats 17-19

Is the question for attending a particular production?

If this is for Beetlejuice, as someone who has sat both far right and far left, go with far right.
You miss a lot more sitting left in my opinion:
Not limited to, just off the top of my head:
• Any time the Sandworm enters
• A few character entries (I remember not seeing Adam or Betelgeuse at all for the first half of "Ready, Set, Not Yet"
• Any time someone enters/leaves the house, since the door is located right/orchestra left
• Good chunk of choreography in That Beautiful Sound
As opposed to if you sit far right, you might just not see a person talking for a few seconds, or when they stand on the dinner table. (And Barbara's "jugs"
[edit: smiley faces obviously not intended to be there, but I can't get them to go away...]

I totally agree with June.

IMO the Winter Garden has far too many bad seats because its sides are so wide. Far side seats need to be further back to not be frustrating. Personally, I would go with V. They will be more than decent seats.
IMO K and L are much too far to the side that close to the stage. Most heatres don't even have seats numbered 30 and 32. No theatre but the Winter Garden would have a 42...much too far on the side. I would rule out the D seats because IMO the perspective will be awful. One of the most frustrating performances I ever saw was Tommy from the 4th row extreme side of the St. James theatre...the seat numbers were in the low teens.

I would think it may be a little hard to answer this question until the show opens. JMO
