Main thing is to bring decent noise canceling headphones.

The front of the first balcony (or first few rows) is good. You're not going to have to worry about the acoustic. It's all amplified, usually very loud. These days it's not very dressy. People turn up with their backpacks or shopping bags, some people in work clothes, some dressing up.
If you can't eat before you are stuck for choices. Eating first and during the interval is possible at the opera but not so much musicals. There are restaurants that cater to the theatre goers after the show but it's late and you need to get home after that so it can get very late. If you book at a restaurant before the show nearby they will serve you at breakneck speed because they are there for that day in day out.

http://Www.seatview.com , get an idea of what it would look like from a given seat.
No special etiquette other than don’t chat, don’t sneak in noisy food wrappers (they sell sweets in cups at the snack bar), try to avoid arriving at your seat late or leaving early (take advantage of bathroom breaks, usually a mad rush). After theatre dinner in London is a real pain as most places have closed. Make a reservation beforehand, otherwise you’ll struggle.
