I sat in the balcony row B this past weekend. The only problem I had was the entire row A had to lean forward to see apparently, which blocks the view for row b. The balcony had a lot of empty seats though so you might want to check out ahead of time what is open and move (even farther back) to get a better view. If you get lucky, or are vocal enough about telling row a they have to sit back, then you'll be fine.

I sat in row A Sunday night for American Idiot, and had sat there when Gypsy was playing as well. The front of the balcony is very high, and blocks about half of the stage for row A. I am very tall, so I was the only person in the row who didn't have to lean forward the entire show. But there were a couple of times even I had to lean a little bit as actors approached the edge of the stage and disappeared from my view. Row B can be as vocal as they want, but Row A is not very likely to budge. Luckily for us the Row B people and Row A people had a fairly apologetic conversation about it before the show started, and given the situation our Row B was very understanding. It is a little steep up there, but the view of the stage is great. And there were a lot of empy seats in the blacony, so moving if someone is in your way might very well be an option.
