Kennedy Center Terrace Theater | Best Seats for "Sesame Street Live!"
Smart Seat Selection Guide for Family-Friendly Performances
The intimate 500-seat Terrace Theater offers excellent sightlines throughout, but strategic seat selection can enhance your family's experience. Here's our expert breakdown of current ticket options for "Sesame Street Live!" with view analysis and value recommendations.
Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)
- ORCHESTRA HOUSE RIGHT/LEFT - Row W ($99): Side sections but with direct stage sightlines. Only 15° angle from center, perfect for kids to see puppetry details. Rows U-W offer the best elevation in orchestra.
- View Tip: House Right (Section 3) has slightly better aisle access to restrooms.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- ORCHESTRA LEFT/RIGHT - Row W ($212): True center sections with premium puppet-viewing elevation. Row W is the first of elevated orchestra rows (no heads blocking).
- Key Difference: 40% wider seats than house sections, crucial for families with booster seats.
Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)
- ORCH CENTER - Row S ($536): Dead-center but overpriced for this venue. Only 3 rows closer than $212 seats with identical stage view.
- ORCH - Row M ($556): Front orchestra but extreme price jump. Not recommended unless needing wheelchair access (this row has removable seats).
Premium or Last-Minute Considerations
- Waitlist Strategy: Terrace Theater often releases $79 partial-view seats day-of-show.
- VIP Alternative: The $212 orchestra tickets include access to the Family Lounge with pre-show character meet-and-greets.
View Comparison
- Orchestra House (W): 65 ft from stage, 25° angle - sees full puppet movements
- Orchestra Left/Right (W): 58 ft from stage, 0° angle - best for facial expressions
- Front Rows: Under 40 ft - too close for full-stage viewing of dance numbers
Our Recommendation
The $99 House Right/Left tickets deliver 90% of the experience at 45% of center-section prices. For families, we suggest Section 3 (Right) Row W - closer to exit ramps and with better stroller parking access.
Pro Tips
- Rows T-U in House sections sometimes drop to $89 week-of
- All seats have 34" legroom - ample for child seats
- Audio enhancement devices available free at coat check
