Hi. I would like to know what would be a decent a section in The Proctor's Theater to see the Lion king. I am looking for seats that are reasonably priced and where one can have a good viewing experience. Ideally, the section/seat should have nothing obstructing the view. The person that I am taking has some vision problems, so your help would be must appreciated. Thanks

I don't know. When attending a performing arts program I tend to favor the balcony for visual and acoustical reasons. I'd like to hear about the experiences of others who had orchestra seats during a musical production.
