Michele Weber | Sep 20, 2018
Aidan Morrison | Sep 20, 2018

Hi Michele!! I saw Phantom on the top balcony last friday. We could see and hear pretty well. I would recommend it if those are the only seats left and they are still at a decent price. I sat towards the front of the top balcony and had a good view. Some things were a little difficult to catch and understand, but over all it was an enjoyable experience. I think you should be okay :)
