When people went to the theater during the Elizabethan era, they were typically all standing in a large room. It would have been hot and they would have been standing close together. Most people would be able to see the stage easily and most people would be able to hear easily because the theaters were generally small and circular.

What was the atmosphere like in the globe theatre in Shakespeare's time?
When you think about it, this question can't be answered. You can talk about what we know about the big public Elizabethan and Jacobean theatres like the Globe.

We know very little of the design of the Globe theatre, in fact no-one knows what the inside looked like at all.

Or watch the beginning of Laurence Olivier's Henry V, which has an impression of what Elizabethan theatre was like live. Then imagine that the crowd is rowdier.
