I know that that theater has both a balcony and a mezzanine. I f you mean Mezzanine, then deffinitely the mezzanine seats. If you actually mean balcony, then go with the last row floor seats-balcony is VERY high. people look like ants. From the last row, the mezz will cut off the top of the stage, but it will be worth it being able to see the peoples faces almost a little cleraly (last row is really far back, but not as far back as balcony-no matter what row you are in)

2nd row mezz is definetly a better view than last row orch. Trust me I've been there.

I think the main floor tickets will have the better view

It really depends on the layout of the theater. If the floors are slanted enough, then the back row might not be a bad view. I personally would go with the balcony/mezzanine level if it's the second row from the front. I'm pretty sure with a fair amount of theaters, that'd be farther out than part of the back section of the main floor.
