the gods
Heavenly ruling powers
The gods refers to the highest balcony section in a theater, also called the gallery.
The seats are the cheapest and farthest from the stage, so high up they're figuratively near the heavens: We couldn't afford orchestra seats, so we sat up in the gods.
The phrase is chiefly British.
