Fantastic seat. You'd think being on the side you'd miss things, but you pretty much see the entire show. I only missed about 10 seconds of something not even important to the plot. You can see facial expressions clearly. Sound was only okay, but I think it's because of a sound design issue. Don't sit too far into the rear mezzanine or the catwalk will block your view. Any further right may not be good either, but I'm not sure.

I was in row O and I could see everything perfectly

Just saw Mean Girls today. We had full view of the stage with no obstructions. The leg room is tight, but probably true for all seats. I don’t think paying for a more expensive seat would have been worth it.
Really great seat! Got this as an option for winning the lotto. Depending on who is in front of you, their head may slightly get in the way, as the seat elevation isn't stellar, but you'll most likely be fine. Definitely a recommended seat.

We were in the last row of the mezzanine and it was STILL an amazing seat. Could see legit everything even the actors’ facial expressions. It’s a small theatre so there’s really not a bad seat in the house.
It's actually not a bad seat. The row goes upwards so you see over everyone's heads. Ive been in other rows closer and unable to see because the rows are flat leveled. I'm happy with this! There were times that the actors were on the side view but not for that long where we couldn't see. They were always in sight.
One of the best seats in the house! Right in front of "Frankie", most of the time. The August Wilson Theatre is quite small, so every seat is a good seat, except for the last few rows which only allow for a partial view of the stage.

For this show the circular stage means it is slightly better to be less central if you take the front row. I am six foot and could see the floor of the stage. Got this seat as discounted at $69.50 and it was a great view of the show.

Good seat but the 4 people in front of us all had big hair and bodies.
Great seats. Can see everything and still see great facial expression too. Small intimate theatre

Great seat! Right in the center. Full view of stage. Would definitely recommend using the cushions so you can see over heads. Great show with a great seat!

Expensive, but great seat. I can see the full stage.
Absolutely perfect seat! I had an incredible view. Completed unobstructed so i saw everything happening on stage. There was just a tall person i front of me so her head blocked a small part of the stage floor but nothing happened there so i didn't miss anything.

I suggest prioritizing being closer to the center over being towards the front in this theatre. It felt a lot closer than this picture appears. The whole theatre felt nice and cozy,and these seats were great!
My companion was in D12 and was fine. Honestly, this shouldn't even be listed as partial. Other than the projected background (which is never that complicated), you don't miss anything at all. Set pieces and acting are all focused around the center.
Amazing seat! full view of everything the entire show. more elevated than the row in front and plenty of leg room! Did not miss a thing the whole show - would highly recommend these seats

Section Center Mezzanine
Lottery seats! Amazing view nothing was blocked
Amazing seats! Could see everything
Section Center Orchestra
Good seat. Close enough, although first row would also be good because stage is low.
Section Front Center Mezzanine
On the far left aisle of center Mez. Great seat
Section Front Mezzanine Right

Section Left Orchestra
Fantastic view!
Section Mezz
These seats are further away than the other pictures make it seem and part of the background is not visible
Lined up with row in front of it, no rise. .Had to keep moving in between heads in front of me.
good seat to the left - no sight line issues
A great view for less money
great lottery seats, last row in front mezzanine.
Section Mezz C
Good lottery seats. This row is not as high up as the others so if someone tall is in front they block you easily.
Clear view of the stage. Got this seat as a lottery loser offer. Mezz is better than Orch back rows.
Section Mezzanine
I could see everything perfect and the seats themselves were pretty comfortable
We are one seat from the bank of the theater. Not a bad seat in the house honestly!
Really great seat. Rail did not block view at all; saw everything except a small portion of stage right, but you barely notice. Amazing show!
Rail is just out of sight line. Bonus that this seat had some extra leg room.
Section Mezzanine Left
Very good view. Was able to see the entire stage.
Section Mezzanine Right
Great Seat!!!

Section Mezzc
Great seat in a nice theater. Small theater so good views of the stage, with decent leg room.
Section MEZZC
Absolutely amazing seat for one of the funniest shows on Broadway!
Great seat! You don't miss anything.
Can be tricky to see around heads in next row, but great angle on the stage
Section MezzC
Excellent Seats - the perfect distance.
Section MEZZL
Great seat, front row of the Mezzanine. Could see everything perfectly. Really good perspective on the show.
Won the lottery again for this mesmerizing musical! Go catch this in it's final week!
Section MezzL
Loved this seat! I could see everything. My only complaint is lack of leg room.
No obstruction, great view. The railing is in front of you so you can stick your feet thru to stretch your legs = added bonus ????
Perfect mezzanine seat since there’s a walkway right in front of this row. Close enough to make out facial expressions

We were in the last row of the mezzanine and it was STILL an amazing seat. Could see legit everything even the actors’ facial expressions. It’s a small theatre so there’s really not a bad seat in the house.
Perfect view, second row of the mezzanine
Section MEZZR
Good view
Section ORC

Section Orcestra
Amazing!
Section ORCH
Very intimate theatre! Loved the seat. No Mezz overhang
Phenomenal seat. Close to the action but can still see it all. Amazing up-close seat
Section Orch
You miss a few things. Not bad though.
Perfection!
Decent view, even on aisle had to move from head in front of me
Lotto Seat! Perfection!
I won the lotto!! Perfection!
I was lucky to not have a big head in front of me!

Section Orch Center

Perfect seats!
Amazing seats! See all the action on the stage.
Section Orch Ctr
Excellent seat. Best seating in this theater Orch Ctr Rows E-K. Mezzanine A is above Orchestra Row M.
Section ORCH L
Great seat! Great view of stage!
Full View but a little far back
Section Orchc
You can see the mezzanine, but you save $50 per ticket from back here.
Section ORCHC
Front row seat through the lottery, excellent view as the stage isn't too close to the first row, so everything on stage was visible.
Lottery ticket, front row center
Great View. Intimate with the cast. Stage is low compared to seats you're not looking up!
Section Orchestra
Lottery seat selection; partial view through the entire show because of the bald man that kept leaning forward and would extend his neck!
Definetely miss some stuff in the top because of the mezzanine hangover.

Expensive, but great seat. I can see the full stage.
Orchestra sight lines are great. I've seen other shows in this theater and even the seats close to the wall have great views.

Section orchestra left
Great seats! VERY minor visibility issue on far left of stage
Section Orchestra R
Heads in front of us were in the way but overall a good seat and a really great show
Section ORCHR
Lottery seats far right orchestra, 3 seats from the right wall. Pretty good views.
Great seats, great value! Photo taken at intermission
My companion was in D12 and was fine. Honestly, this shouldn't even be listed as partial. Other than the projected background (which is never that complicated), you don't miss anything at all. Set pieces and acting are all focused around the center.
Section ORCR
Won the lottery for the second preview! Absolutely hilarious musical!
Section Right Mezzanine
Amazing seat! full view of everything the entire show. more elevated than the row in front and plenty of leg room! Did not miss a thing the whole show - would highly recommend these seats
