Premium & VIP Seating ($220+)

Seating Chart Insights

• Section 1 (Center): Best for overall show perspective and grand illusions. Rows E-H are the "goldilocks zone" - close enough for details but far enough for full-stage views.
• Section 2 (Sides): Better for close-up magic segments. Rows J-M are elevated enough to see over stage props.
• View Considerations: The theater's steep rake ensures good sightlines, but extreme side seats may miss some backdrop projections.
