Section Comparison

• Loge: Small private boxes with most exclusive experience but limited availability.

Special Notes for This Production

For "A Beautiful Noise," center-left seating (Orch Left/Mezz Left) may offer better views of the piano staging area where key musical moments occur. The Golden Gate Theatre's acoustics ensure good sound quality throughout, but mezzanine center provides optimal audio balance.
