• Mezzanine Right Row H ($110): Center-right positioning with good sightlines to the full stage.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($110-$160)

• Mezzanine Center Rows E-G ($151-174): Closer center sections with minimal obstruction from the mezzanine overhang.
• ORCHO Rows O-P ($152-156): Rear orchestra side seats - farther back but with straight sightlines to the stage.

Higher Tier Options ($160-$220)

• MEZZO/MEZZC Rows D-F ($163-182): Front mezzanine sections - significantly closer but at a premium price.
• Orchestra Rows M-O ($170-186): Mid-rear orchestra seating with good elevation and full stage views.
• Mezzanine Center Row D ($185): First row of center mezzanine - excellent vantage point but limited legroom.

Premium Seating ($220-$350)

• MEZZC Rows B-C ($220-231): Front-center mezzanine - closest possible mezzanine seats with immersive views.
• ORCHC Rows A-BB ($259-263): Front orchestra center - premium pricing but unparalleled proximity to the stage.
• Orchestra Rows A-B ($322-344): Very front sections - best for seeing facial expressions but may require some neck craning.

View Differences & Recommendations

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine (Rows A-H) offers better elevation for viewing full stage pictures, while Orchestra (Rows A-P) provides closer actor proximity.
• Side Seating: MEZZO/Mezzanine Left/Right sections have slight angled views but often at significant discounts versus center sections.
• Front Row Warning: First 2-3 rows in any section may have obstructed views of the stage floor - ideal for dialogue-heavy scenes but not for full-stage visuals.
• Best Overall Value: MEZZC Row G ($132) offers center positioning at just 7 rows back from the mezzanine front - our top recommendation for price/quality balance.

Last-Minute Options

• ORCHO Row K ($231): Mid-orchestra side seats that often become available closer to showtime.
• Mezzanine Center Row C ($231): Front-center seats that occasionally get released day-of-performance.

Special Considerations

The Booth Theatre's intimate size (780 seats) means even the furthest seats have decent views. For "John Proctor is the Villain," which likely emphasizes dramatic performances, we recommend prioritizing center sections (MEZZC/ORCHC) between rows D-M for optimal viewing of both staging and actor expressions.
