Good, unobstructed view of entire stage. Great sound. Brought binoculars to see facial expressions better.

Great seat! Gave it a 4 just because of the distance from the stage- it still works, just far away. My dad brought his binoculars thinking I got balcony seats or something and was pleasantly surprised to learn he didn’t need them.
Great seat. No obstructions. From next row down, safety rail might be an issue for seeing stage right/house left, but from row B, C and up, it’s great! , 2023
Excellent view of the whole stage, can see to back row percussionists in the orchestra pit, no obstructions, one seat in from the aisle. Great row for a small group. rnrnSafety railings in front of the stairs of the aisle, but not in line of sight. 2023

View slightly obstructed by the balcony bar, but otherwise it's a comfortable seat. Only 4 seats in this row with an aisle on either side so it is very easy to get in and out

A bit far from the stage, but a fantastic view. Everything could be seen on stage.
Great seats to see the whole stage. There was a good incline so my five year old was able to see well with a booster on the chair. Only complaint was you couldn’t see facial expressions of any of the dancers.

This is from November 2021, after the seating reconfiguration. This is one row from the back but the sightlines are great. It's a bit far but not bad. Binoculars helped for seeing facial expressions and other details. I'd sit here again.

Great seats and sound. If you have someone in front of you that is super tall/leaning forward, you may have sight issues. But I would definitely sit here again
Seat is a little high & far back. No obstructions, so you can see the whole stage and overhead projected translations. Bring opera glasses or binoculars if you want to see details

Great seats. Center in the hall. Straight look to the stage. Beautiful venue.

If you are short, it could be hard to see the bottom of the stage. Not as much of a problem, if you are tall.
