How are the balcony seats in the Palace Theatre? From the front balcony, is it possible to see actors' faces? How are the acoustics? Is it a huge theater? I sat in the orchestra years ago but have never been in the balcony.

Try to avoid it if you can, or try to get the first row. Which, I think is AA.

Balcony front row is A.
Sat there last night for LB, and while I have sat in the sides of the balcony, and all the way up to the last row, the front row center balcony is really not that bad.

Does Row B suck? Row B on the aisle?

I sat there for Blonde on OCtober 12th. That was my fourth time seeing the show..and my first time sitting in the balcony. I sat in row B, all the way to the right side. They werent good, but they werent horrible. If this makes sense; you can see their faces, but not really their facial expressions. However the dance numbers look amazing from high up and the dance numbers dont pop out at you when you sit in the orchetra. its deffinetly worth the cheap price of 46.50

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&. "Jayne just sat there while Gina flailed around the stage like an idiot."

i never sat there for a show but i have been up there. my observation was that you are looking more downward on the stage then at it. i figured you would be seeing tops of heads rather than faces. but i wasnt up there for the show.
