Forrest Theatre | "Some Like It Hot" Seating Guide – Best Views & Value
Expert Recommendations for the Best Seats at Forrest Theatre
As a historic Broadway-style venue, Forrest Theatre offers excellent sightlines throughout, but some sections provide better value than others for "Some Like It Hot." Here's my breakdown of the best options at every price point, with detailed view descriptions to help you choose.
Best Value Tickets ($109-$130)
- Rear Mezzanine (Rows N-P): $109 - Surprisingly good elevated view of the entire stage. Perfect for budget-conscious theatergoers who don't mind being farther back.
- Rear Mezzanine (Rows D-H): $130 - Closer mezzanine seats with clearer facial expressions visible. Rows D-E are particularly good for the price.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price) ($147-$177)
- Rear Mezzanine (Rows J-M): $147 - Center-rear mezzanine offers balanced sound and comfortable viewing angles for dance numbers.
- Rear Mezzanine (Rows A-C): $177 - Front of rear mezzanine provides near-perfect vertical sightlines to see intricate choreography.
Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals) ($154-$257)
- Front Mezzanine Sides (Row E): $154 - Side angles but closer to stage action. Left side (Section FMEZZO) has slightly better Broadway stage views.
- Orchestra Rear (Rows X-Z): $166-$176 - Flat floor seating but distant. Better for those who prefer orchestra ambiance over perfect views.
- Front Mezzanine Center (Row F): $239 - Premium mezzanine location but overpriced compared to similar Rear Mezz A seats at $251.
Premium or Last-Minute Options ($257+)
- Center Orchestra (Rows J-W): $257 - Excellent frontal views but significant price jump. Rows L-O are the true "golden zone" for musicals.
- Orchestra Front (Rows BB): $718-$738 - Only recommended for die-hard fans wanting ultra-close proximity to performers.
View Differences & Recommendations
- Mezzanine vs Orchestra: The mezzanine (especially front rows) provides better overall views of dance numbers, while orchestra seats offer more intimate actor connections.
- Side Sections: Right side (house left) has slightly better views for this production's staging.
- Sound Considerations: Rows D-H in mezzanine offer the best acoustic balance for this jazz-heavy musical.
- Height Matters: Shorter patrons should avoid orchestra rows X-Z as sightlines can be challenging over heads.
Top 3 Picks for "Some Like It Hot"
- Rear Mezzanine Row D ($130): Best combination of price and view for the full stage picture
- Rear Mezzanine Row B ($177): Worth the upgrade for sharper details in performance
- Center Orchestra Row L ($257): Splurge-worthy for perfect frontal viewing angles
Final Advice
For this jazz-age musical with elaborate dance numbers, the mezzanine provides superior overall views. The $109-$130 rear mezzanine tickets offer exceptional value, while the $177 front rear mezzanine seats are my top recommendation for serious theatergoers wanting both quality and reasonable pricing.
