Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)

• HM Right Section - Rows A-D ($57-$84): Excellent orchestra-level seats at the lowest prices. Rows A-B put you just 15-20 feet from the stage with perfect sightlines to all stage action.
• HM Right Loge - Rows BB-EE ($84): Elevated balcony seats with a panoramic view. Perfect if you prefer seeing all stage choreography from above. Rows BB-CC are the sweet spot in this section.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• House Right - Rows A-B ($75): Slightly better centerline position than HM Right while maintaining close proximity. About 5° better angle toward center stage.
• HM Left Loge - Rows AA-CC ($84-$110): Mirror of the right loge but often has better availability. Row CC offers the best head-on view in the balcony.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

• HM Center Sections - Rows C-H ($125-$126): The gold standard for musical theater viewing. Rows E-F are ideal - far enough back to take in full stage pictures but still close for facial expressions.
• Right/Left Loge - Front Rows ($110-$136): First row balcony seats (AA-CC) eliminate any obstruction and provide stunning overhead views of the intricate set design.

Premium/Last-Minute Options

• MAIN FLOOR - Rows H-J ($161-$162): Deeper in the orchestra but with perfect center alignment. Best for those who prioritize symmetry over proximity.
• HM Center Left/Right - Rows A-J ($184-$190): Front-and-center premium seats. Rows A-C here are typically held for VIPs but occasionally release last-minute.
