Has anyone been in either? Which is better? I say this bc I know balcony is higher up (and the theater is steep already) but say, front balcony, may offer better view than rear mezz? Can anyone comment? Thank you!

I saw Aladdin last year in the rear Mezz and had a horrible time. The seats weren't well elevated/spaced from the rows ahead, and I found myself constantly leaning to see around the people in front of me. Though, keep in mind that I'm a short person and can't compare this to the balcony.

both are kinda bad.

the rear mez will feel like you are in the back of a bus looking through the windshield

the balcony is tight when it comes to leg room, good in that there is nothing above you to box you in, but you are up high and it feels like you are looking down at the stage (and tight leg room in the front row)

Yeah, we won lottery tickets and ended up in the rear balcony. It's fairly steep and there are the pesky support poles but I don't remember them being obstructing. The view of the stage was fine.
