Best Value Tickets (Great Views at Lower Cost)

• 45-50° viewing angle to main stage action
• 8-10 feet from performers during stage extensions
• Currently 6 available seats (best for pairs/groups)

Sweet Spot Seats (Balance of Availability & Quality)

• Unobstructed view of all stage levels
• Perfect for catching detailed facial expressions
• Slight elevation (4" rise from Row C)

View Comparison by Section

• Section L (Left):
  • Ideal for scenes staged left-center
  • Slight perspective on actor entrances from stage right
  • May miss some detail on far-right props
• Section C (Center):
  • Completely balanced perspective
  • Best for viewers who want to take in the full stage picture
  • Minimal head movement required

Premium Considerations

• Front Row Potential: While not currently available, front rows at CTC typically run $55-$60 and put you within 6 feet of performers during intimate moments.
• Aisle Seats: The theater's steep rake means aisle seats in these sections still maintain excellent sightlines.

Expert Recommendations

• For Groups of 4: Grab the Section L, Row C block (4 together) for shared emotional impact during the production's poignant moments.
• For Best Value: Section L, Row B pairs ($46) offer closer proximity at same price point as Row C.
• For Purists: Section C, Row D provides the most academically "correct" viewing angle for this proscenium-style production.

Theater-Specific Tips

• All seats at CTC are within 40 feet of the stage - no true "bad" seats exist
• Row B in any section puts you at ideal height for catching projected surtitles (if used)
• Consider left-side seating if you want clearer view of the conductor's podium (for musical numbers)
