TicketHold | Genesee Theatre Seating Chart Guide – Best Seats & Views

Your Complete Guide to the Genesee Theatre Seating Layout

The historic Genesee Theatre in Waukegan, Illinois, is a beautifully restored 1920s venue hosting concerts, Broadway shows, and comedy acts. With its ornate decor and intimate 2,400-seat capacity, every performance feels personal. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips to help you choose the perfect spot.

Genesee Theatre Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra (Floor Level): Closest to the stage with unbeatable sightlines. Rows A-F offer premium proximity, while rear rows (G-K) may have slight elevation challenges for shorter attendees.
• Loge (Mid-Level): Elevated for better stage visibility, especially rows L-M. Center sections provide balanced views, while side angles may skew sightlines for dance-heavy performances.
• Balcony (Upper Level): Budget-friendly with steep incline ensuring clear views. Front rows (AA-CC) are excellent, but rear rows (DD-FF) feel distant for intimate acts.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Orchestra center (Rows C-G) for energy, Loge front (Rows L-M) for acoustics.
• Broadway Shows: Loge center (minimal neck strain) or Orchestra sides (Rows A-D) for actor expressions.
• Comedy: Balcony front (AA-BB)—elevation enhances sightlines without sacrificing intimacy.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private loge seating with premium sightlines and exclusive lounge access.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible spots in Orchestra rear and Loge, with companion seating.

Pro Tips

• Avoid extreme side seats in Balcony for obstructed views.
• For tall guests, Loge aisles offer extra legroom.
• Use TicketHold’s interactive seat maps to preview your view before booking.
