Thanks CT2NYC. This is incredibly useful. Looks like a good view. And great tip about the binoculars! I have a friend who has some that I can borrow. And CT2NYC...I hope you get to see the show soon! You can been so helpful on this thread. I’m sure many people owe their HP seats to you.

Our seats aren’t together but sounds like my seat in Dress Circle row L seat 107 (scored it for $20 per part) will be pretty sweet.
Excellent! As far as the balcony is concerned, the view looks to be pretty great, especially from balcony center. Some have said that it provides an excellent vantage point for the magic effects, even better than the rear mezzanine, where some of the effects are obscured by the balcony overhang. Also, the inclinein the balcony is more steep than in the mezanine, which makes it easier to see over the heads in front of you. I'm sure it will be difficult to make out facial expressions from both sections, though. Binoculars might be a good idea for both of you. I'll be sitting in the same areas, and I'm definitely bringing mine. There are a lot of pics on Instagram from the balcony, which usually make the distance lookmuch further away than it actually is, due to the wide-angle lenses on the phones' cameras.Here is a great pic from what appears to be row E of balcony center. I think it looks excellent, and much better than expected:
