Key View Differences
- Balcony vs. Orchestra: Balcony (Doors 1-5) offers elevated perspective ideal for viewing stage pictures, while orchestra (MAIN FLOOR/HOUSE) provides intimate actor proximity.
- Side Seating: Doors 2/5 have 15-25° angled views - perfect for 3/4 stage perspectives common in "Jitney".
- Front Balcony: Rows A-C eliminate the need to look over heads while maintaining full-stage visibility.
Our Recommendation
For best value, choose House Right Door 2, Row F ($108) - it combines excellent central alignment with reasonable pricing. If budget allows, splurge on House Left Door 1, Row C ($188) for premium balcony immersion. Groups of 4-6 should consider the House Left Door 5, Row M ($77) block.
Theatre Tips
- Angus Bowmer's thrust stage means side seats often have superior actor facial visibility compared to center rear.
- Rows A-C in any section minimize obstructions from taller patrons.
- Door-numbered sections indicate stairwell access points - arrive early for Door 5 seats as they're farthest from elevators.
