Hollywood Pantages Theatre | "Shucked" Musical Seating Guide & Ticket Recommendations

Expert Tips for Choosing the Best Seats at Pantages Theatre

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

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• MEZZLC Row H ($42): Center mezzanine with slightly elevated viewing - great budget option (4 tickets available)
• MEZZLC Row E ($63): Same center section but closer - excellent mid-range value (4 tickets)
• ORCHL Row Y ($74): Orchestra left side, rear section - good for price (2 tickets)
• ORCHR Row X ($77): Orchestra right mirror of above (3 tickets)

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price $100-$150)

• MEZZL/MEZZR Row J ($91): Front mezzanine sides - excellent angled views (10+ tickets per side)
• ORCHL Row NN/QQ ($100): Mid-orchestra left with clear stage sightlines (8 tickets total)
• MEZZL Row B/C ($111-119): Premium mezzanine left front rows (13 tickets)
• ORCHC Row SS ($123): Center orchestra mid-rear - best sound quality (5 tickets)

Higher Tier Options ($150-$300)

• ORCHC Row RR ($129-197): Prime center orchestra (8 tickets across 2 rows)
• MEZZC Row D ($155-158): Dead-center mezzanine front (16 tickets)
• ORCHLC Row PP ($168): Left-center premium orchestra (8 tickets)
• ORCHRC Row NN ($167): Right-center mirror of above (6 tickets)

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($300+)

• ORCHLC Row B ($224-281): Front left-center orchestra - near celebrity seating (9 tickets)
• MEZZC Row B ($278): Center mezzanine front row (2 tickets)
• ORCHC Row B ($493): Ultimate center orchestra premium (5 tickets)
• MEZZANINE Row A ($909): Front-center mezzanine box seats (4 tickets)

View Recommendations

• Orchestra Center (ORCHC): Rows RR-SS offer the best balance of price and perfect sightlines
• Front Mezzanine: Rows B-D provide elevated perspective ideal for dance numbers
• Avoid: Rows Y-ZZ in orchestra - may have some overhang obstruction from mezzanine
• Best Duo: MEZZL Row B ($111) + MEZZR Row B ($112) - symmetrical side views with savings

Pro Tips

• Mezzanine seats in Rows E-J offer 90% of the view at 50% of orchestra prices
• Left/Right Center sections (LC/RC) provide better value than dead-center
• For groups of 4+, MEZZLC Row H ($42) is the undisputed budget champion
• Check the theater's detailed seating chart for exact view angles from your section

Final Recommendation

For most attendees, the MEZZL/MEZZR Row J seats at $91 offer the ideal combination of price, view quality, and availability. If you prefer orchestra, ORCHC Row SS at $123 gives you the famous Pantages center-orchestra experience without the premium price tag.
