Why are they obstructed? i couldn't tell you. it's not the first row of the theatre, but the first row of the back of the theatre. Your seats appear to be in the first row of the back portion of the raised orchestra seating, fairly far over to the right. there might be a railing or a piece of lighting equipment that slightly obscures your view. sometimes if a view is truly 'obstructed,' the designation has to do with the way the venue was built. and what's considered 'obstructed' can change according to the show or the requirements of each individual production.
