Cedar Street Playhouse Seating Guide for "Once Upon a Mattress"
Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)
- Main Floor Row J ($49): Mid-center section with excellent stage visibility. Perfect balance of price and viewing angle (no neck strain).
- Balcony Row CC ($49): Elevated view with full stage panorama. Ideal for patrons who prefer a broader perspective of musical numbers.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- Main Floor Row E ($51): Closer than Row J with only $2 price difference. Center sections available (quantities limited).
- Balcony Row BB ($51): Front balcony row with near-vertical sightlines to the stage—great for catching choreography details.
Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)
- Main Floor Rows A-B ($58): Front-row immersion (actors may enter/exit through aisles). Row A may require slight upward viewing angle.
- Note: Rows A-B put you within 15 feet of the stage—perfect for seeing facial expressions but may miss some overhead set pieces.
View Comparison
- Main Floor vs. Balcony: Main floor offers eye-level intimacy (better for character-driven scenes), while balcony provides a "director's view" of full-stage movement.
- Row Gradient: Every 5 rows back = ~10° viewing angle change. Rows E-J maintain optimal 15-25° sightlines.
Recommendations
- For Groups: Main Floor Row J (4 tickets available) avoids extreme angles that can vary across wide seating.
- For Couples: Balcony BB/CC center seats offer romantic, unobstructed views with acoustic benefits.
- For Theater Enthusiasts: Splurge on Row A to see intricate costume details and hear unamplified vocals.
Pro Tip
This production features a castle-themed set with tall props—balcony seats (BB/CC) will best showcase the vertical design elements without distortion.
