Hollywood Pantages Theatre Seating Guide for "Shucked"

Expert Recommendations for the Best Seats at Every Price Point

The historic Hollywood Pantages Theatre offers exceptional views from nearly every seat, but some sections provide better value than others for the Broadway hit "Shucked." Below you'll find my curated recommendations based on price, view quality, and availability.

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• ORCHR Row RR ($79): Right orchestra mid-section with only slight side angle. Rows RR-VV in side orch offer similar views at 20% savings vs center.
• ORCHLC Row TT ($80): Left center orchestra - better legroom than rear center seats at lower price point.
• ORCHC Row VV ($87): Rare center orchestra deal - these usually start at $120+. Limited view of very front stage but perfect for taking in the full production.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price $90-$120)

• MEZZL/MEZZR Rows J-K ($91): Front mezzanine provides the best overall perspective for musicals. No obstructions and you can see all choreography patterns.
• ORCHL Rows PP-QQ ($91-92): Left orchestra at excellent price - closer than center sections paying $150+ for similar proximity.
• ORCHC Rows TT-UU ($119-135): Premium center orchestra seats at 20% below typical prices. Rows TT-WW are the venue's "golden zone".

Higher Tier Options ($120-$200)

• MEZZ Rows A-C ($111-139): Front mezzanine center delivers perfect sightlines. Worth the upgrade over rear mezzanine if budget allows.
• ORCHC Rows PP-RR ($110-153): Prime center orchestra - close enough to see facial expressions but far enough to take in full stage.
• MEZZC Rows B-C ($161): Dead-center mezzanine seats with ideal elevation for appreciating set designs.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($200+)

• ORCHRC/LC Rows NN-PP ($161-168): Front side orchestra with VIP lounge access. Minimal side angle at this proximity.
• MEZZANINE Rows A-K ($187-229): Box seats with private area and best-in-house legroom.
• ORCHC Rows NN ($239+): Front and center - you'll feel part of the show. Rows MM-NN are celebrity favorite sections.

View Comparison

• Orchestra Center: Best for immersion but rear rows (RR-XX) require looking up at stage
• Orchestra Sides: 10-15% cheaper than center with only slight viewing angles
• Front Mezzanine: Superior to rear orchestra for overall perspective
• Rear Mezzanine: Only recommended for budget buyers - some sightline obstructions

Pro Tips

• Rows A-F in Mezzanine feel closer to stage than equivalent orchestra rows
• Odd-numbered seats are house left, even are house right
• Pantages has steep vertical rise - no seat is more than 150ft from stage
• For groups: MEZZL Row J has 8+ seats together at great price point

Final Recommendation

For most buyers, the MEZZL/MEZZR Rows J-K at $91 offer the perfect balance of price and view quality. If you prefer orchestra, the ORCHC Rows TT-UU between $119-135 are exceptional value for center sections. Premium seekers should target ORCHC Rows NN or MEZZANINE boxes for the ultimate experience.
