Angus Bowmer Theatre Seating Guide for "August Wilson's Jitney"
Best Value Tickets (Under $70)
- House Right Door 4, Row L ($58): Great side view at lowest price point. Slight angle but excellent value for 4+ tickets.
- House Left Door 5, Row O ($58): Mirror of Right Door 4 - comparable view from opposite side. Best for budget-conscious groups.
Sweet Spot Tickets (Balanced Price & View)
- House Left Door 5, Row M ($66): Closer than Row O with only $8 premium. Center-left perspective with good stage visibility.
- House Right Door 2, Row H ($82): Premium side section with near-center sightlines. Rows E-F offer even better angles but at higher price.
View Considerations
The Angus Bowmer's thrust stage means side sections (Door 1-5) actually provide excellent, intimate views. House Right Door 2 offers the most centered side perspective.
Higher Tier Options
- MAIN FLOOR Rows N-O ($444-$484): True premium seats with direct center views. Only recommended for VIP experiences.
- HOUSE Row O ($121): Rear center balcony - elevated view but distant. Better value than main floor at 1/4 the price.
Last-Minute & Premium Picks
- House Right Door 2, Rows E-F ($90): Best side-section seats with near-perfect sightlines to the thrust stage.
- House Left Door 1, Row H ($80): Closest side section to stage - immersive but slightly extreme angle.
Our Recommendation
For groups: The $58 tickets in Door 4/5 Rows L-O deliver exceptional value. For pairs: Upgrade to House Right Door 2 Rows E-F ($90) for near-perfect views without main floor prices. Avoid main floor unless premium experience is essential - the Bowmer's design makes side sections remarkably good.
Seating Key Differences
- Door Sections (1-5): Wrapped around thrust stage - closer but angled. Rows E-L are eye-level with performers.
- House Section: Elevated rear seating - sees full stage picture but less intimacy.
- Main Floor: Flat seating - perfect sightlines but highest prices. First 5 rows may require slight upward viewing.
