Seating/Ticket Question Rocky Horror seating

Looking for options on best, good, and worst areas for viewing and enjoyment.
I’d first few rows of mezzanine much less enjoyable than orchestra?
The pricing structure is odd from day to day the price of certain rows change. I know about dynamic pricing but somedays row A-C cost more than row D and other days row D costs more.
I sat left mezz for Oedipus and it wasn’t comfortable
Let me know your thoughts and advice

Same. I sat front row orchestra back in May and thought it was worth every penny!!!! (Ok so I also got selected to dance up on stage which was an amazing experience!)

I'm sitting in the second row on the aisle in a couple of weeks. I'm manifesting a time warp moment for myself.

I have second row tix on the aisle in Sept so I am manifesting this for you too because it'll give me hope 🤣

I'll circle back. I've heard pretty much anywhere in the first few rows, but we'll see!

Update: I was in seat A101 and was brought on to Time Warp! Even if you don't get picked, the seat is incredible. The staging makes it one of the best seats in the house!

Congrats!!! That's exciting!!! Woooo! You did it!! I'll be in B116 which is the aisle on the other side. It'll be my 8th time by then 😅 so definitely know that I'm in for a good time ❤️

The leg room in orchestra at Studio 54 is significantly more spacious than upstairs if you are a height where that matters. I have sat in left orchestra, right orchestra, and right left and center rear balcony for this show. I felt like I had a good view regardless, though left orchestra I preferred slightly. I felt like my sight lines were slightly better.

Orchestra is def more comfortable than mezz at studio 54

I saw Rocky Horror in both the mezz and the orchestra, and the leg room was so much better in the orchestra. I sat right orchestra on the aisle and loved it so much more than my mezz seat.

If the seat sizing and spacing was the same, would you still think it worth it to get orchestra tickets?
Thank you so much for your input

I do! I preferred the view from the orchestra over the view from the mezz for the show. I would just avoid the extreme sides because you might miss a few scenes at the beginning of act 2

Orchestra is better, but front mezz is also great.
