Answer: A quick scan through theatre seating charts does indeed find that theatres tend not to have a Row I. The reason is, said Jimmy Godsey, the Public Theater's Director of Ticketing Services, via a Public Theater spokesperson, "Simply, [the letter] I looks like a [number] one to ushers and box office."
But in a smaller theater, you can be on the back row and not feel like you are missing anything. I've been seated all over when I've seen Broadway shows. The best seats are at least 4 or 5 rows back in the center up to about the 12th row. Most seats in the front mezzanine (up to 6 or so rows back) are also quite good.
Stage directions include center stage, stage right, stage left, upstage, and downstage. These guide the actors to one of the nine sections of the stage named after the center and four directions. Corners are referred to as up right, down right, up left, and down left.

With a center stage, the seated sections in the middle of the arena (same as mid court or center ice sections) will be the best and closest seats. With center stage shows there are no longer any seats considered behind the stage.
There are definitely pros and cons for all of the seating areas at the Mayflower Theatre. I would say that the best seats are mid way back in the centre area of the stalls, because you're far away enough from the stage to take in all the action, but you can also see the close up facial expressions of the performers.
While the rows of the front seats, especially those in the middle, provide views just as good as those in the Stalls, the ones at the far end have slightly obstructed views. The Grand Circle has 582 seats, and the inclination of the seating is such that the view from the middle is very good.
