Amazing seat

While the play is going on, you really don't notice the rail. You do have to turn your body or head slightly sideways.

Good seat for seeing this performance. Seats 32?-38 in row BB and AA are padded folding chairs. Row AA has very little leg room but BB is ok. The view of extreme stage left is blocked but for this show was still a pretty good seat. nnGood seat for seeing this performance. Seats 32?-38 in row BB and AA are padded folding chairs.

Elevator or 1 flight of stairs to  Orchestra level then about 40 stairs to balcony.

Photo taken at head height with a wide-angle lens, which makes it seem farther away than it actually is. The safety rail didn't bother me or distract from the view. I forgot that it was even there.

See what I mean... so close! You can see a little in the wings stage right, and you can't see the far stage left corner. Took this photo under the railing.

The railing is in your view but it doesn't matter cause you're so close it's crazy. I was leaning forward for this photo (pre-show).

Pros: Amazing view from front to back of stage. The balcony bar is not in the way. Cons: Small tight seating. No space to stretch legs. I'm 5' 4” my knees were at 90 degrees with my toes touching the front wall. Extremely uncomfortable, wouldn't recommend

Great seats in the balcony. No obstruction.
