Allen Elizabeth Theatre Seating Guide for "The Merry Wives of Windsor"
Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)
- BALCONY - Row Y ($373): Excellent elevated view with full stage visibility. Slightly angled seating provides unique perspective of Shakespearean staging. Best for budget-conscious theatergoers who want authentic OSF experience.
- ORCHESTRA - Row Q ($444): Mid-tier orchestra with perfect sightlines to catch subtle facial expressions. Close enough for intimate moments but far enough for full-stage comprehension.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- BALCONY Center (Rows X-Z): $350-$400 range. The Allen Elizabeth's steep rake ensures unobstructed views even in rear balcony. Perfect for absorbing the play's physical comedy.
- ORCHESTRA Sides (Rows N-R): $400-$450 range. Slight angle actually enhances viewing of the Elizabethan-style thrust stage where characters enter from multiple directions.
Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)
- ORCHESTRA Front Center (Rows A-E): $500+. Immersive but may require slight neck movement for full-stage viewing in this thrust configuration.
- LOGE Seating: $550+. Box-style seats with some sightline limitations at extreme angles - better for straight plays than musicals.
Premium or Last-Minute Options
- Premium ORCHESTRA (Rows F-K Center): $600+. Ideal for catching the intricate costume details in this Elizabethan comedy.
- Day-of-Show Releases: OSF often releases $50-75 "Obstructed View" seats day-of - surprisingly good sightlines for price.
Key View Differences
- BALCONY vs ORCHESTRA: Balcony offers better perspective for physical comedy and group scenes, while orchestra excels for intimate soliloquies.
- Front Orchestra (Rows A-E): May miss some overhead lighting effects designed for this production.
- Extreme Sides: Some minor prop visibility issues in far side seats during certain scenes.
Our Recommendation
For "The Merry Wives of Windsor," we recommend the BALCONY Row Y tickets at $373 - this elevated position is ideal for following the play's intricate comic entrances/exits. The ORCHESTRA Row Q at $444 is also excellent if you prefer being closer to catch the actors' nuanced delivery of Shakespeare's wordplay.
