Order early to reserve orchestra seating! With the exception of the first row, grand tier balcony seats are considerably narrower and offer less leg room than orchestra seating. Grand Tier Balcony seats are most comfortable for people 5’ 4” and below. Some people who are up to 5’ 7” or 5’ 8” might be fine if they are of smaller frame.
