Answer 2

I have not been to this theatre but most of it will be elevated and or raked you will be able to see from most places just try to pay for the best seats you can and then it is luck cuz it is more about who is sat in front of you i am short and have the same problem i have sat right at the front centre and could not see and i sat 20 rows back and could see everything but most theatres are designed with this in mind so you can see almost all the time.

Answer 3

It depends which theatre you mean. In most places the seats are elevated and even if you are small in height you can still see the stage

Answer 4

Have had a look at their seating plan and I can see your problem!

I think the Parterre is at ground level. The Dress Circle the one above and then I assume that the un-named one is above the dress circle.  

Parterre suggests that the seats are all at the same level, although there are rolling photos  which look as if it is slightly raked.  If you are small in height, I would look to get a front row seat at any of the levels.  At least you won't have someone's head in the way.

Not exactly on topic, but if you're going with seriously short people who aren't children, it's worth bringing some sort of cushion in case the theatre only provides booster seats for children of a certain age.
