Seat 204 3 rows up. I'm short (5'6") so very front of stage sometimes blocked but overall really good seats. Seat 202 is aisle seat so leaning over afforded a good view. Small transparent barrier was there (protected projector)
This seat was great, but it was tight. We were only a couple rows from the front. We were right on the end, so we missed a bit of what was happening on the stage. Overall we could see pretty much everything.

"obscured view", but fun if you've seen the show before and are a nerd that likes being able to see some behind the scenes activity in the wings
Great seat! 5th row from the pit/stage and can see everything. One of the sets keeps you from seeing a little to the left but they don’t use that area for anything except hanging some hats. Incredible spot to see the cast and facial expressions so well.

Great view. No heads in the way, and extra leg room. We couldn’t see fully action on stage left, but it wasn’t a huge problem. On an aisle.

Great view, had limited view of stage right. But could see the actors. Seats are tight.

The best seats I’ve ever had! You can see every little detail from facial expressions, costumes, and props. It’s very intimate of how close you are to the actors because at times it’s like they’re looking right at you. Truly, wonderful!

Paid $400 a piece, they put us in a portable chair with an obstructed view. Never again will spend money at the Opera House

Pros: Dead center. Nobody in front of you. Cons: Terrible leg room. I'm 5'6" and my shins were hitting the bar in front of me. Also, you're in the middle of long row making it very inconvenient to get in/out of your seat when others are already seated.

Great and comfy seat, first row of this section, offers a bit of extra leg room as well as elbow space (you're on the end of a row of 4, inside corner with about a foot of extra space to the right). Recommend if you are on the bigger side, it's great

Great seat, you're dead center and on the end so you've got a bit of extra room. Full view of the stage. If you have a small bladder or get up often I wouldn't recommend as the isle you're on IS roped in, only 4 people in the row including you

View was great even from the back row! Be aware that since this theater is very old, the seats are small and kind of uncomfortable. You're very close to everyone on all sides of you.

Good seat. Hard for child to see over the adults in row 1, box 4. We were able to slide the chair over for the child to view the stage while looking in between the adults sitting directly in front of us.

Right against the back wall, at the top of the stairs.

At the back wall, right at the top of the stairway so there's a bar in your eyeline if you're short.
Bar almost blocking the view. Cant see a small portion on left hand of stage. Cheapest seat selection and certainly delivers for the price!

Good seat for overall visibility and closeness, but left side of stage is completely out of view. There is also a plexiglass shield at the corner of the balcony.
