Durham Performing Arts Center Seating Guide for "Some Like It Hot"
Expert Recommendations for the Best Seats at DPAC
Discover the perfect seats for "Some Like It Hot" at Durham Performing Arts Center with our detailed seating analysis. We've evaluated sightlines, value, and availability to help you make an informed decision for this Broadway-caliber performance.
Best Value Tickets (Under $70)
- Section 9, Row O ($38-68): Center-balcony view with good elevation. Rows M-O offer the best value in this section - you'll see all choreography clearly while saving significantly.
- Section 8/10, Row K-L ($57-67): Side orchestra with minimal obstruction. These are steal deals - typically $100+ seats at other venues. The 15° angle actually improves view depth.
Sweet Spot Seats (Best Balance of Price & View)
- Section 8/10, Rows D-H ($84-93): Premium orchestra side seats. Row G specifically avoids both overhang and being too close for full stage views.
- Section 9, Rows J-N ($64-68): Dead-center balcony. The mezzanine overhang protects from lighting glare while maintaining perfect sightlines to all stage action.
Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)
- Front Mezzanine (Sections 4-7, Rows AA-CC): ($147-170) The "golden triangle" - elevated enough for full stage views yet close enough to see facial expressions. Section 5 center is particularly outstanding.
- Orchestra Center (Sections 2-3, Rows E-J): ($293-334) For those wanting traditional Broadway seating. Row H is the venue's acoustic sweet spot.
Premium/VIP Experiences
- Front Orchestra (Rows A-D): ($415-728) You'll feel part of the show. Section 3 Row G offers the most immersive experience without neck strain.
- Box Seats (Balcony 8): ($116) Unique angled view with extra legroom. Best for pairs wanting intimate atmosphere.
View Considerations
- Balcony vs. Orchestra: Balcony (Sections 8-10) excels for viewing intricate dance numbers, while orchestra shines for emotional acting moments.
- Side Sections: Sections 1 & 10 have <5% stage obstruction (just extreme downstage corners). The tradeoff for significant savings is worthwhile.
- Row Depth: In orchestra, Rows K-P avoid both overhang and being too close. Mezzanine Rows AA-DD have the best vertical sightlines.
Pro Tips
- The $57 Section 8/10 tickets are the hidden gems - same view as $150 seats just 5 rows forward.
- For groups of 4+, the Section 9 Row O tickets at $38 are unbeatable value.
- Wait until 48hrs before showtime for potential premium seat drops if you're flexible.
- Avoid extreme sides (Sections 1 & 12) for this dance-heavy production.
