The short version
The Richard Rodgers opened in 1924 as the 46th Street Theatre and was renamed in 1990 for the composer Richard Rodgers. The Nederlander Organization's page gives it 1,319 seats, says that, as built in 1924, it was the first theatre to use "democratic seating", in which all patrons used the same entrance, and says the only seats reachable without steps are in orchestra rows A–K. In our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want, and the front of the mezzanine is worth pricing against it.
