As a historic Broadway-style theater, Forrest Theatre offers intimate views from nearly every seat. Below are my curated recommendations based on section visibility, price value, and availability for "Some Like It Hot".
🎯 Best Value Tickets (Under $150)
- Rear Mezzanine (Rows N-P @ $109): Surprisingly good sightlines with only slight angle distortion. Ideal for budget-conscious buyers who want full-stage visibility.
- Rear Mezzanine (Rows B-H @ $130): 8-12 rows closer than above option. Minimal price jump for significantly better actor facial visibility.
- Pro Tip: Rows C/A in RMEZZ ($177) sit directly behind sound booth - guaranteed unobstructed view at mid-mezzanine height.
⭐ Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)
- Front Mezzanine Side (Row E @ $154-161): Perfect diagonal view of choreography numbers. Closest you'll get to premium seats without premium prices.
- Orchestra Rear (Rows X-Z @ $166-176): For those who prefer floor seats. Center Orchestra Y/Z offer straight-on views of tap dance sequences.
- Warning: Avoid far Left/Right Orchestra beyond Row T - partial stage obstructions may occur during certain scenes.
🎭 Higher Tier Options (Premium Experience)
- Front Mezzanine Center (Row E @ $237): The "goldilocks zone" - elevated enough for full-stage perspective yet close enough to see costume details.
- Mid-Orchestra (Rows N-R @ $249-257): Prime viewing for the show's elaborate jazz band scenes. ORCHC Row N puts you at ideal eye level.
