The wall height varies greatly based on what spot you are given. The house right section is not suited for shorter people because cross aisle behind the seats / SRO wall slopes down and makes the wall notably higher.
I was standing in house right. I don't doubt that the wall height varies, but I am pointing out that both of your statements -- that the railing is too high for someone who was 5'5" and that house right is worse -- are not accurate from my experience.
