• Orchestra (ORCH): Flat floor seating provides closest proximity. Center sections (C) have straight-on views while sides (A/B) offer more angled perspectives.

Pro Tips for "Life of Pi"

• For this visually-driven production, center balcony (BALCD1) offers exceptional value with full-stage views of puppetry and projections.
• Tier sections between rows 3-8 provide the ideal balance of elevation and intimacy for this production.
• Premium orchestra seats (Rows 1-15) are worth considering for the most immersive experience with the life-size animal puppets.
• Avoid extreme side balcony sections (BALCONY) if possible - some staging effects may be partially obscured.
