Seating Chart Insights

★ Mezzanine Tips: Rows A-F provide the best overhead views. Center sections (MEZZC) offer straight-on perspectives while sides (MEZZL/R) have slight angles but often at discounts.

★ Orchestra Guide: Rows H-P are the "golden middle" - close enough for facial expressions but elevated enough for full-stage views. Front orchestra (Rows A-G) puts you near the action but may require some neck movement.
