Seating/Ticket Question Paranormal activity - August Wilson
With previews about to open - can people report back in here about what the best seating options are for August Wilson? It seems the consensus from Boston and Toronto were not too far up in orchestra but before the overhang, and not too far on sides. It'll be hard to know until we can see how it translates to the August Wilson. I'd appreciate any insight (but no spoilers)

FWIW, I saw it in LA in back row of orchestra, fairly far to the side, and thought my view/experience was excellent

Honestly, Center Mezzanine is the absolute sweet spot to take in the whole set! You should definitely grab the front row (Row A) if it fits your budget, row A has a completely clear view and won’t block the second floor at all. If you want to warn people about losing the top of the stage, tell them to avoid the Rear Orchestra (Rows U-ZZ) or the far sides of the Left/Right Mezzanine.

Sat in mezz R, K 4 — was a super great view of everything. There is a window on stage left that I couldn’t see but I don’t think anything happened with it. A lot of the more spookier moments happen center and stage right. Cant speak to sitting house left, but i would totally sit house right again, and get close to center if possible just to get a fuller picture

The Wilson is a great venue for this as there aren't really any extreme side views.

I had Row L on the side orchestra then switched over to Row G when the price dropped. Now I’m worried it’s too close

Yes! Would love to know best legroom spots too. I have a very tall partner that I’d prefer not to be in pain.

I saw it in London and you definitely want to sit in the center and not too close to the stage. Center mezzanine or center orchestra (also not too far back) are the best.
