In architecture, a mezzanine or entresol is an intermediate floor between main floors of a building; it is often low-ceilinged, and often projects in the form of a balcony. The term is also used for the lowest balcony in a theater, or for the first few rows of seats in that balcony.
A catwalk is an elevated service platform from which many of the technical functions of a theater, such as lighting and sound, may be manipulated.

Also, from a structural engineering perspective, a catwalk is lightly loaded - it is assumed that not many people will be able to access it. A mezzanine is usually designed for heavier loads - either for people to assemble there or as a place for machinery.

Generally catwalks are narrow access paths to machinery or other items (3 foot wide and down). Mezzanines are usually wider structures that can have machinery or other items on it.

You can't be seated in a catwalk?
