Quick question. Looking at getting tickets at Neil Simon theater and was wondering if anyone knows if Row m is too far back? THe choice I have is Row M or Row D on the edge/side. Anyone know which is better? We are going to Jesus Christ Superstar. THanks

For the best seats, avoid two-digit Orchestra behind row V, and double-digit seating above 14 (it’s off to the side). In the Mezzanine, center seating is good to Row J. The sides of the Mezzanine in this theater are decent seats, up to Row F. The Mezzanine overhangs Orchestra row O. The seating capacity of the Neil Simon Theatre is 1,445.

It depends upon how far towards the side the seats are. This theatre has great sightlines to the stage from most everywhere in the orchestra, but I would avoid seats on the extreme side, especially closer to the stage. Based on your two choices, I would go with row M.
