View Comparison Guide

• Balcony vs Orchestra: Balcony excels for appreciating choreography patterns (especially "Be Our Guest"), while orchestra delivers immersive set details
• Side Sections: BALC-L/R have 5-10% stage obstruction during extreme stage-left/right scenes but offer incredible value
• Front Rows: First 5 rows orchestra may require slight head movement to follow action - rows 6-12 are the "golden zone"

Pro Tips for Beauty and The Beast

• Balcony center seats are ideal for appreciating the stained glass rose projection effects
• Right side sections (BALC-R/ORCH-R) offer better views of the West Wing transformation scene
• For families: BALCLC rows O-Q provide easy aisle access and clear views for younger audience members
• Romantic pairs: DCIR boxes offer intimate vintage theater experience perfect for this love story

Last-Minute Options

If seeking same-day tickets, check for:

• Single seats in ORCH-C rows D-K (often released day-of)
• BALCONY Row L ($667) - surprisingly good sightlines despite being rear balcony
• ORCH-R Row H ($326) - partial view but incredibly close to stage
