Your Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Perfect Seats at Ivoryton Playhouse

The historic Ivoryton Playhouse, a beloved Connecticut venue since 1930, offers an intimate theater experience with exceptional acoustics and sightlines. Known for its Broadway-quality productions, understanding the seating chart ensures you get the best view for plays, musicals, and special events.

Ivoryton Playhouse Seating Chart Breakdown

• Orchestra (Rows A-F): Closest to the stage with unbeatable immersion. Front-center seats (Rows B-D) offer perfect sightlines, while side sections may have slight angle limitations.
• Mezzanine (Rows G-K): Elevated for a broader perspective. Center Mezzanine (Rows H-J) provides the ideal balance of proximity and overall stage view—great for musicals.
• Balcony (Rows L-M): Budget-friendly with a full-stage view, though distant for subtle facial expressions. Best for large-scale productions.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Plays: Orchestra Center (Rows C-E) for intimate dialogue.
• Musicals: Mezzanine Center (Rows H-J) to appreciate choreography.
• Comedy Shows: Side Orchestra (Rows A-C) for engagement with performers.

Seat View Tips & Obstructions

The Playhouse’s steep rake ensures clear sightlines, but note:

• Pillars in far side sections may partially obscure views—avoid seats marked "restricted view."
• Front Orchestra seats may require slight neck tilting for tall patrons.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Packages: Priority Orchestra seats with lounge access.
• Wheelchair Spaces: Designated areas in Orchestra Rear with companion seats.
