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 is our curated guide to help you find the perfect balance of price, view quality, and availability.

Best Value Tickets ($38-$99)

• MEZZRC Row J ($38) - Rear mezzanine center-right offers surprisingly good sightlines at the lowest price point. Slight side angle but full stage visibility.
• MEZZLC Row J ($40-$44) - Mirror of MEZZRC with comparable views from the left side. Front mezzanine rows (A-C) in these sections jump to $111+.
• ORCHLC Row W ($54) - Orchestra left center at mid-depth. While further back, these seats maintain excellent perspective on the full stage.
• ORCHR Row U ($80) - Right orchestra at good depth. Avoid rows beyond W if you're under 6' tall as the overhang begins affecting view.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price, $91-$167)

• MEZZL/MEZZR Row J ($91) - Front mezzanine sides. These first mezzanine rows provide excellent elevation with minimal obstruction.
• ORCHL Row NN/W ($91-$99) - Left orchestra in the NN-W range offers premium locations at sub-$100 prices. NN is particularly good for center-left viewing.
• MEZZC Row D ($155-$167) - True center mezzanine seats with perfect head-on views. The D row is high enough to see over any tall patrons in front.

Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals, $199-$300)

• ORCHRC/LC Rows B-C ($199-$214) - Front side orchestra. While close, the extreme angle may cause some staging to be obscured.
• ORCHC Rows QQ-SS ($157-$210) - Center orchestra mid-depth. Good seats but priced at a premium compared to comparable mezzanine options.
• MEZZANINE Rows A-K ($187) - Front side mezzanine. Similar views to $91 MEZZ seats but at double the price.

Premium or Last-Minute Options ($300+)

• ORCHC Rows N-WW ($300-$556) - True center orchestra in premium rows. Exceptional views but significant price jumps between rows.
• MEZZANINE Rows B-D ($455-$594) - Center front mezzanine. The B row is essentially front-and-center balcony.
• ORCHESTRA Rows A-F ($600-$1339) - The famous Pantages "platinum" seats. Only consider if budget is no concern - rows C-F are arguably the best seats in the house.

View Considerations

Mezzanine vs. Orchestra:

• The mezzanine provides better perspective for large ensemble numbers and choreography
• Orchestra seats under row 15 may require looking up slightly at the stage
• Front mezzanine (rows A-C) often offers better sightlines than mid-orchestra at similar prices

Side Sections:

• MEZZLC/RC have only 10-15° angle - minimal view compromise
• ORCHLC/RC beyond row S may miss some upstage action
• Extreme sides (MEZZL/R) work well for this production's staging

Our Top 3 Recommendations

1. MEZZRC Row J ($38) - Unbeatable value with full stage views
2. ORCHL Row NN ($91) - Premium orchestra at mezzanine price
3. MEZZC Row D ($155) - The perfect balance of view and price

The Pantages' steep vertical rise means even rear mezzanine seats have clear views. For "Shucked," which uses the full stage depth, we recommend prioritizing center or near-center sections when possible. The production's bright staging and physical comedy play well from all angles, making the value seats particularly attractive.
