Citizens Bank Opera House Seating Guide for "The Wiz"

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• BALCRC/BALCLC Row Q ($71): Side balcony seats with good angled views of the stage. Slight obstruction from railings but excellent value.
• BALCONY RIGHT Row P ($73): Right-side balcony with clear sightlines. Higher up but unobstructed views of the full stage.
• BALCTR Row V ($80): Rear center balcony - perfect for those who want a straight-on view at a lower price point.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($100-$150)

• MEZLFT Row K ($106): Front mezzanine left with excellent elevation - you'll see all choreography patterns clearly.
• MEZRGT Row J ($107): Mirror of MEZLFT on the right side. These mezzanine seats offer the best balance of price/view.
• BALCTR Row T ($109): Mid-balcony center - the "goldilocks zone" - not too far back, not too expensive.
• ORCHRC Row C ($129): Orchestra right center - rare affordable orchestra seats with minimal side angle.

Higher Tier Options ($150-$250)

• MEZZANINE CENTER Rows E-G ($154-185): Premium mezzanine seats with perfect head-on views. Ideal for theater purists.
• ORCHLC Row G ($156): Left orchestra close enough to see facial expressions but at a side angle.
• ORCCTR Row M ($166): Mid-orchestra center - the traditional "best seats" before prices jump dramatically.

Premium/Last-Minute Seats ($250+)

• ORCHRC Row BB/AA ($243): Front orchestra right - you'll feel immersed in the production.
• ORCH CENTER Row S ($242): The coveted "platinum seats" with perfect sightlines and acoustics.
• ORCH CTR Row R ($299): Center orchestra about 15 rows back - where critics typically sit.

View Comparison

• Balcony: Higher elevation shows off the full stage picture and choreography (best for ensemble numbers)
• Mezzanine: The "sweet spot" - combines good elevation with proximity (ideal for both sets and acting)
• Orchestra: Closest to performers (best for intimate moments and facial expressions)

Pro Tips

• For "The Wiz," the BALCTR sections offer the best value - you'll appreciate the colorful set designs from this vantage point.
• Avoid extreme side seats (BALCRC/BALCLC beyond Row U) as some tornado scene effects may be partially obscured.
• Mezzanine Rows E-J provide the perfect balance for seeing both the flying effects and footwork.
• Orchestra seats beyond Row T may have slightly obstructed views of the flying sequences.
