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.

Good view of whole stage as long as no one very tall in front!

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.

Great view, though a bit high. Full site line of everything happening on stage. Good price point as well.

Very good view of the show! Closer to the end but nothing was cut off on stage. And being in the second row, the bar at the front of the mezzanine was NOT in the way!
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.

Can be tricky to see around heads in next row, but great angle on the stage
Fantastic seats! Even with people sitting in front of us, we had a great view of the stage. Nothing was obstructed. Slightly limited leg room, but view made it worth it!
Perfect mezzanine seat since there’s a walkway right in front of this row. Close enough to make out facial expressions

No obstruction, great view. The railing is in front of you so you can stick your feet thru to stretch your legs = added bonus ????

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.
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.

Loved this seat! I could see everything. My only complaint is lack of leg room.
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.

Photo taken before show; many had not sat down yet. I did not take a photo during show so as to not distract those around me. Even with everyone seated it was still a good view. I am only 5'2" and no one blocked my view.
Although this seat is partial view, I got it during rush at the box office for less than $40. It is definitely worth it if you can get it for that price. You are up against the wall and close to the speakers but you can see basically everything including all of the actors facial expressions.
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.
We had seats 3,5 and 7 in Row A. These seats were amazing and perfect! The leg room was great too.

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!
Front row for $42.50 via the Rush Line. Seat is marked as partial view but I could see basically everything on the stage and was at eye level with the stage
Great seats! VERY minor visibility issue on far left of stage

Far right.Great seat for the money. The only portion of the stage that was out of site was the right hand side of the stage background set. Completely worth the money. Sold as partial view but there is nothing that you miss.
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 seats! Could see everything
Lottery seats! Amazing view nothing was blocked
Section Center Orchestra
Good seat. Close enough, although first row would also be good because stage is low.
Section Ctr Orch
Amazing seats, so close to everything. You don't really need to tilt your head back to see everything either.
Section Front Center Mezzanine
On the far left aisle of center Mez. Great seat
Section front mezzanine
perfect seat, could see everything going on on stage!
Section Front Mezzanine Right
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.

Good seats and the rail doesn’t get in the way. Seats aren’t comfy but worth it for the show.
Section Left mezzanine
Perfect view! Excellent.
Section Left Orchestra
Fantastic view!
I won the lottery and these seats were amazing! Funny show.
Section Mezz
good seat to the left - no sight line issues
A great view for less money
Lined up with row in front of it, no rise. .Had to keep moving in between heads in front of me.
great lottery seats, last row in front mezzanine.
These seats are further away than the other pictures make it seem and part of the background is not visible
Not bad at all!
Section Mezz C
Clear view of the stage. Got this seat as a lottery loser offer. Mezz is better than Orch back rows.
Good lottery seats. This row is not as high up as the others so if someone tall is in front they block you easily.

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.

Won lottery tickets - full view but could be closer to see details and facial expressions of actors.
Such a great seat!! As long as no one taller than you is in front of you, this is a perfect seat.
Very close and the right of the stage is a little obstructed. But worth the discounted price.
Fantastic seats! Not partial view. RUSH THIS SHOW
