We were in Section 203 Row AA in July, and it was the front row of the second tier. There was a rail, but it did not obstruct our vision. At the beginning of the show, all of the main participants came around the theater right in front of us!! The seats were excellent, and we could see everything.
The tickets are worth every penny they cost - it is a show you will never forget. My husband (who falls asleep during anything in the dark!!!) was spellbound and didn't even think about dozing off!!!
Enjoy the show. You can't take pictures, but the souvenir booklet is wonderful.
We had dinner before the 9 pm show at House of Blues, which was also excellent - save room for dessert!!!
