Hollywood Pantages Theatre | "Some Like It Hot" Seating Guide & Best Ticket Deals

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views and Value

The historic Hollywood Pantages Theatre offers exceptional views from nearly every seat, but some sections provide better value than others for "Some Like It Hot." Here's our breakdown of the best options across all price ranges, with detailed notes about view quality and seating considerations.

Best Value Tickets ($76-$99)

• ORCHL RR ($76) / ORCHR QQ ($76): Rear orchestra sides offer solid views at the lowest price point. Slight angle toward stage but full visibility of performers.
• ORCHL PP ($77-$79): Mid-rear orchestra left with minimal obstruction. Rows PP-QQ are elevated enough to see over heads.
• ORCHR ZZ ($79): Far right orchestra but excellent sightlines to center stage. Great for budget-conscious buyers.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price, $95-$120)

• MEZZL F ($95): Front mezzanine left provides a perfect overhead view of choreography. No elevator access.
• MEZZR B ($97): Center-right mezzanine with direct sightlines. Rows B-D in mezzanine are prime for price.
• ORCHL NN ($120): Mid-orchestra left with closer view than rear sections. Minimal angle distortion.

Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals, $128-$170)

• ORCHRC ZZ ($128): Right-center orchestra near rear. Good for those wanting orchestra at mid-range price.
• MEZZC H ($135-$151): True center mezzanine with perfect head-on view. Higher price reflects premium location.
• ORCHC RR ($138): Orchestra center but far back. Only worth if you value center view over proximity.

Premium or Last-Minute ($170+)

• ORCHLC QQ ($170): Left-center orchestra mid-section. Excellent angled view of full stage.
• ORCHC WW ($170): Center orchestra premium seats. Close enough to see facial expressions.
• MEZZC F ($170): Front-center mezzanine for those who prefer elevated view at lower cost than orchestra.

View Considerations by Section

• Orchestra Left/Right: Mild angle but excellent proximity. Avoid extreme sides past ZZ.
• Mezzanine: Steep pitch means no obstructed views. Front mezzanine (Rows A-F) often better than rear orchestra.
• Center Sections: ORCHC/MEZZC command premium prices but offer perfect symmetry for dance numbers.
• Row Notes: In orchestra, rows K-P are ideal elevation. Rows AA-EE may require looking up at stage.

Accessibility Notes

• MEZZL/MEZZR sections marked "No elevator" require climbing 2 flights
• ORCH RC/LC have easiest access for mobility-limited patrons
• Front mezzanine provides best views for shorter attendees

Final Recommendation

For best value, we recommend the $76 ORCHR QQ tickets or $95 MEZZL F seats. If budget allows, the $170 ORCHLC QQ offers perfect balance of proximity and view quality for this dance-heavy production. Avoid premium orchestra seats beyond row T unless you specifically want close-up views over full-stage perspective.
