Cedar Street Playhouse | "Once Upon a Mattress" Seating Guide – Best Views & Value
Smart Seat Selection for "Once Upon a Mattress" at Cedar Street Playhouse
Discover the perfect seats for this musical comedy classic with our expert breakdown of Cedar Street Playhouse's intimate theater layout. Whether you prioritize value, viewing angles, or premium comfort, we'll help you navigate the Main Floor and Balcony options for optimal enjoyment of the performance.
Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)
- Main Floor Row J ($49): Mid-section positioning offers clear stage views without extreme neck angles. Slight elevation from front rows improves sightlines over taller patrons.
- Balcony Row CC ($49): Elevated perspective provides excellent overview of choreography. Slightly offset center view maintains good visibility at lower price point than front balcony.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- Main Floor Rows E-G ($51): Closer to stage while maintaining full-stage visibility. Row E puts you approximately 15-20 feet from performers - ideal for catching facial expressions during comedic moments.
- Balcony Row BB ($51): Front balcony row with unobstructed view. Perfect for patrons who prefer looking slightly downward at stage action.
Higher Tier Options (Enhanced Experience)
- Main Floor Rows A-B ($58): Immersive "front row" experience where you'll see costume details and hear unamplified vocals. Best for superfans wanting maximum actor engagement.
- Balcony Row AA ($58): Premium center balcony seating with perfect vertical sightline to appreciate full stage picture and dance numbers.
Viewing Considerations
- Main Floor: Rows A-J slope gradually. Row A may require slight upward gaze while Rows H-J offer more neutral head position.
- Balcony: 25° downward sightline showcases intricate set designs. Rows AA-CC have minimal elevation difference between them.
- Stage Visibility: All listed seats have clear views; no extreme side angles in this configuration.
Expert Recommendations
- For Groups: Main Floor Row G (6 seats together) or Balcony Row CC (4 seats) offer best group value.
- For Intimacy: Main Floor Rows A-B place you within the "performance bubble" - you may catch actors' improvisations.
- For Technical Appreciation: Balcony seats reveal lighting patterns and set mechanics invisible from floor level.
- Note: Cedar Street's acoustics are excellent throughout, so sound quality differences are minimal between sections.
Premium Alert
Main Floor Rows A-B frequently sell out first for musicals due to their proximity to the stage. If you want these premium seats, we recommend securing them early.
Last-Minute Strategy
Check for released production holds 48 hours before curtain - these often include prime Main Floor seats at standard prices.
