Angus Bowmer Theatre Seating Guide for "August Wilson's Jitney"
Best Value Tickets (Under $80)
- House Right Door 4, Row L ($68): Excellent side view with minimal obstruction. Rows K-L offer the best balance of proximity and value in this section.
- House Left Door 5, Row O ($68): Rear side section but with good elevation - perfect for budget-conscious theatergoers who still want clear sightlines.
Sweet Spot Tickets ($75-$100)
- House Left Door 5, Row M ($77): Mid-side section with ideal viewing angle. Rows M-N are the "goldilocks zone" - close enough for facial expressions but elevated for full-stage perspective.
- House Right Door 4, Row J ($77): Slightly closer than Row L with the same excellent side view. The 4-seat quantity makes these ideal for small groups.
Higher Tier Options ($100-$150)
- House Left Door 1, Row H ($100): Near-center left section with premium viewing angle. Door 1 seats have the least extreme side angle in the house.
- House Right Door 2, Row E ($108): Exceptional proximity to stage (just 5 rows back) with only slight right-side bias.
Premium Seating ($150+)
- House Left Door 1, Row D ($188): Ultra-close center-left seats - perfect for immersive theater experience where you can see every subtle performance detail.
- MAIN FLOOR Rows N-O ($444-$484): True VIP experience with dead-center positioning. Best for special occasions or theater connoisseurs wanting the absolute best views.
Key Viewing Differences
- Door Number Matters: Odd-numbered doors (1,3,5) are stage left, even (2,4) are stage right. Door 1/2 have the most direct angles.
- Row Elevation: Rows A-F (very close), G-M (optimal elevation), N-O (higher but with panoramic view).
- Price/View Tradeoff: Side seats beyond Row K have partially obstructed views of far-stage action but save $30+ per ticket.
Our Recommendations
- Best Overall Value: House Left Door 5, Row M ($77) - combines good price with excellent viewing angle
- Budget Pick: House Right Door 4, Row L ($68) - nearly identical view to more expensive J row
- Splurge-Worthy: House Left Door 1, Row D ($188) - premium experience without main floor pricing
- Group Tip: The $68 tickets in Row O (Left Door 5) have 6 available seats together - rare for this venue
The Angus Bowmer's thrust stage means 85% of seats have excellent views, but the center-left Door 1 sections (Rows D-H) consistently offer the most balanced perspectives for Wilson's dynamic staging. For "Jitney," we recommend prioritizing seats with good views of both the car shop set and the doorway entrance stage right.
