  • House Left Door 5, Row O ($68) - Rear side section but with good elevation for viewing the full stage. Slight angle compensated by lower price.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($77-$108)

  • House Right Door 4, Row K ($108) - Premium side section with only 6 rows behind you. Excellent legroom and quick aisle access in this section.

Pro Tip: The $77-$108 range offers the best balance of price and location at Angus Bowmer. Rows G-K keep you close enough to see facial expressions while avoiding extreme angles.

Higher Tier Options ($121-$188)

  • HOUSE Section, Row O ($121) - True center seating but further back. Best for patrons who prioritize straight-on views over proximity.
  • Rows B/D in Door 1 & 2 ($188) - Front-center sections with unparalleled immersion. Door 1 (left) has slightly better actor sightlines for this production.

Premium/Last-Minute ($484)

  • MAIN FLOOR, Row O ($484) - VIP experience with premium amenities. Only recommended for special occasions due to 4x price jump over similar center sections.

Seating Insights

  • View Differences: Door 1/2 sections face the actors' primary staging area. Door 4/5 have more angled views but better depth perception.
  • Row Guide: Rows A-F (very close), G-M (ideal viewing), N-O (elevated but further). The theatre's steep rake ensures good visibility even in rear rows.
