I would not sit in the balcony. But, if it's all you can afford, try not to get seats in the first couple rows. In Row A you will not be able to see the front of the stage, unless you are pretty tall.

I am sitting in it as we speak and it's totally fine. Don't sit in row A though. B or back.

And there is no leg space. The balcony of that theater as well as the blacony of the Palace need makeovers.
And you have just convinced yourself it is fine because you are stuck there.

Ehh, I sat in row A of the balcony for FINIAN'S and didn't think it was horrible. The front of the stage is cut off from up there, but I'm 6 feet so it wasn't too hard to see.
That said, I did buy tickets in the mezz for AMERICAN IDIOT because I didn't want to see it from the balcony.

I looked for Mezz but Balc was the only thing offered for opening night

Depending on your height, you'll be fine. I'd still go B or further back if possible. It's a weird balcony where sometimes the last row is better than the front. But hell, opening night? It'll be great wherever you are.

I was in Row F center tonight, and it was totally fine. And I wasn't stuck there. I had the choice between there and partial view seats on the sides of the orchestra. And from what I can tell... I had the better view.

Slight thread steal but oh that St. Jimmy! I cringed while reading this... I got such a head ache from him in the show... not to mention the way too loud volume.

Hi,
I ended up getting last row of the balcony, center bc someone here said it is better than the first row balcony. Did I make a mistake? I'm nervous to take someone who hasn't seen the show if the view is really poor...

Don't remember how many rows are the in the balcony, but I sat in row G and thought it was a great view, especially with this show where there's a million things going on.

On saturday I sat in row E and I though the view was fine. I definitely don't think it is as terrible as some people have said, but hey just my opinion.

How are the last three rows of the Rear Mezzanine then? It's the same price as front of the Balcony.

I sat in the center of the last row of the balcony a few weeks ago, and the view was great. My only complaint was being so far away from the stage, and thus not being able to see the actors' facial expressions, etc., but I wasn't expecting that from the balcony anyways.

If you don't mind the hike, it's not a terrible view at all. Just high up.
Definitely avoid Row A, though.

I sat in the second from the top row of the mezzanine last Saturday. The seats were on the left, right against the wall. I saw everything just fine. I always buy cheap seats for Broadway shows and I have yet to have any problem seeing the stage. In fact, the only problem I ever had was at Jersey Boys in the orchestra. People sitting in front of us were rather tall and it was very hard to see the stage.

The St. Jimmy?
Is this the start of a new fad?
The Madge?
The Ned?
The Wingar?
The Richard R?
The LYC3M?
The Mubo?
The Shub?
