• Rows A-C in Mezzanine Center ($246-$293) provide the best overall perspective for the complex musical arrangements.

Group Booking Recommendations

• 6+ Tickets: MEZZO Row H ($90 x 6) or MEZZC Row J ($115 x 7) - best group blocks still available.

The theatre's intimate 1,079-seat space means even "value" seats provide excellent experiences. For this music-heavy production, prioritize center sections (MEZZC/ORCHC) over extreme sides when possible.
