• CBAL2 Row D ($100-103): Premium balcony location without orchestra pricing. Excellent for catching facial expressions.

Higher Tier Options ($120-150)

• BAL1 Sections (Rows G-H, $120-131): First balcony level provides noticeably closer views. Right/Left sides (RBAL1/LBAL1) offer better value than center.
• Orchestra Side Rows (LORCH/RORCH $138-151): True orchestra experience at partial-view prices. Rows P-S are particularly good for seeing footwork.
• CBAL1 Rows G-H ($125-131): Top-center of first balcony. Perfect for those who prefer straight-on perspectives.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($150+)

• Front Orchestra Sides (Rows G-J, $151-183): Exceptional proximity to performers. Left orchestra (LORCH) often has better availability.
• BAL1 Front Rows (A-B, $189-236): First few rows of first balcony provide stunning overhead views of complex dance numbers.
• Center Orchestra (Rows L-W, $504-758): Ultimate experience with perfect sightlines. Best for special occasions or devoted fans.

View Comparison Guide

• Balcony 2 vs Balcony 1: BAL1 is approximately 15ft closer with steeper pitch. BAL2 still offers clear views but with more "bird's eye" perspective.
• Center vs Side Balcony: Center sections (CBAL) provide symmetrical views while sides (LBAL/RBAL) offer more dynamic angles on choreography.
• Orchestra Note: Rows A-J are at stage level, while rows K-W gradually elevate. Side orchestra seats beyond row T may have minor obstructions.
