"Partial View" seats for Wicked - How are they?

We are coming to NYC one day earlier than thought and therefore, now have the option of doing the matinee for Wicked on May 24th. There are some $66.25 "partial view seats" against the wall, Orch Row F or J. These seats are appealing because they are about half the cost but I was wondering, will they at least be decent seats for kids ages 12 and 14? How much of the stage is blocked from view?
Thanks.

They are likely on the far edge of the theater, so you will be very close to the stage but you may not be able to see action in the back or on the side where you are sitting. Wicked is in a vast theater with a deep stage, and a lot of action takes place back there. I just wouldn't go for these tickets, especially for kids.

Agree - if they say "partial view" it is seriously bad.

For Wicked you really want to be in the center - and further back is much better than against a side wall.
