Cape Twirl, I believe it is the other way around. You can see their lower legs and feet when they are closest, at the front of the stage, and less as they move back. The stage is raked, but for that to happen, the tilt would have to be ridiculous.
For a height reference, you can see Bruiser (a chihuahua) in the opening number- he is downstage center. You cannot see Rufus (an english bulldog) on his (actually her...) entrance, until she is hoisted by Christian and Orfeh, they're just about center stage when the dog runs in. I hope that gives some perspective on viewage.
You might want to sit further back...there are some beautiful shoes in this show. Christian Louboutin, anyone? Not to mention the dancing...
