FanProof verdictAt the Nederlander, the lobby elevator opens at Balcony Row D and also serves Dress Circle and the lower lobby. Reaching middle or upper Balcony still involves substantial stairs, and the Balcony has no handrail. Arrange accessible seats before buying if those steps would be a problem.
