Final Tips

For "Harry Potter and The Cursed Child," we recommend seats with a clear view of the entire stage rather than extreme close-ups. The production uses the full depth and height of the Pantages stage, so mezzanine seats often provide the most complete viewing experience. If choosing orchestra, rows J-Q in center sections offer the best balance between proximity and perspective.
