I would say yes...but not too far away...as long as you can see them
It really depends on the show you are going to see and the crowd that follows...Generally speaking its never a good idea to leave your children alone while you sit "far away"...
Let the ushers know your issue. They may be able to help with seating especially if its for Anastasia. I attended opening night and there were lots of youngsters. If seat exchange falls thru the ushers can be on alert to help you keep tabs of your kids. Good luck!
