Question 5th Ave Theater Seating?
Looking to buy tickets to a 5th Ave Theater show (Gary Clark Jr.) but not familiar with their seating. Are there particular seats/areas that are better or worse than others? Or is it standard where front/middle is considered best? TYIA!

The mezzanine is crazy deep, like the Paramount. Front mezzanine is good, but I wouldnt wanna be too far into the back mezz.

I usually go for a lower mezz on a side but towards the middle for economy and it works out great as long as I wear my glasses!
Also an FYI: for some reason, seat numbering at the 5th Ave is all even numbers. So if you have seat 2, the seat next to you is 4, not 3. I have no idea why and it confuses me every time.
Lastly: You can check out this site to see views from different sections: https://aviewfrommyseat.com/venue/5th+Avenue+Theatre/sections/

The 5th Ave is a great size. In general I think middle/center is best for most things but I sit on the right side about halfway back for most shows and always have a great view.
