Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• Rear Mezzanine (RMEZZ) Rows E-J ($63-$73): Excellent budget option with surprisingly good overhead views of the stage. Rows E-F offer the best value at $64-66.
• Rear Mezzanine Left Row L ($74): Slightly angled view but minimal obstruction at this price point.
• Tip: Rows G-J in RMEZZ often drop to $63-70 - wait for last-minute deals if flexible.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• Orchestra Right/Left Rows Y ($116-127): Side orchestra with clear sightlines to center stage action.
• Rear Mezzanine Center Rows F-H ($122-163): Elevated but centered perspective ideal for appreciating full stage visuals.
• Box Seats ($145): Unique angled views close to stage - best for intimate scenes.
• Recommendation: Orchestra Rows X ($130-138) offer the best balance - close enough for facial expressions while maintaining full-stage view.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

• Front Mezzanine Rows A-F ($200-303): The "goldilocks zone" - elevated enough for full stage view but closer than rear mezzanine.
• Orchestra Center Rows Q-V ($274-366): Prime views with Rows Q-T being the true sweet spot before premium pricing jumps.
• Note: Front Mezzanine Center Row C ($230) often sells out first - excellent sightlines to both stage levels.

Premium & Last-Minute Options

• Orchestra Center Rows B-L ($283-556): Front-center experience where you'll catch every subtle facial expression.
• Front Mezzanine Center Rows A-B ($285-303): Best overall views for musical numbers and ensemble scenes.
• Pro Tip: Check for last-minute releases in Orchestra Rows J-O ($274-354) - sometimes production holds are released at discount.

View Comparison Guide

• Rear Mezzanine: Full stage view but distant - best for appreciating large dance numbers and set design.

• Front Mezzanine: Perfect compromise - see all levels of the multi-tiered set without neck strain.
• Orchestra Center: Premium experience where you'll notice costume details and subtle acting choices.
