Key View Differences
- Balcony vs Orchestra: Balcony offers panoramic views (better for physical comedy), Orchestra provides intimacy (better for facial expressions).
- Center vs Side Sections: Center seats have straight-on views while side sections (especially Doors 1/2 and 9/10) offer dynamic angular perspectives.
- Row Considerations: In Orchestra, rows F-K are the "golden middle" - close enough for details but far enough to take in the full stage picture.
Our Top Recommendations
- Best Budget Pick: Balcony Center Right Door 12, Row Y ($68) - Surprisingly good views for the price
- Best Mid-Range: Orchestra Center Right Door 3, Row K ($108) - Ideal viewing distance
- Splurge-Worthy: Orchestra Center Left Door 9, Row F ($139) - Perfect blend of proximity and perspective
- Group Tip: Multiple $68 tickets are available in adjacent blocks (Balcony Center sections) - great for keeping parties together
Theatre Layout Notes
The Allen Elizabeth Theatre's thrust stage means 60% of seats are within 15 rows. Even balcony seats feel surprisingly close. The three-tiered structure (Orchestra, Balcony, Gallery) creates diverse viewing experiences - choose based on whether you prefer looking slightly down at the action (balcony) or being at stage level (orchestra).
