Kennedy Center Terrace Theater | Best Seats for Sesame Street Live!
Smart Seat Selection Guide for Family-Friendly Performances
Planning to see Sesame Street Live! at the intimate Kennedy Center Terrace Theater? This 500-seat venue offers excellent sightlines throughout, but strategic seat selection can greatly enhance your family's experience. Below is our expert breakdown of the best value tickets, sweet spots, and premium options for this beloved children's show.
Best Value Tickets (Budget-Friendly)
- ORCHESTRA HOUSE LEFT/ RIGHT - Row W ($99):
- ✅ Great side-view angles of the stage (no extreme side seats in this venue)
- ✅ Closer than most "rear orchestra" sections in larger theaters
- ❌ Slightly obstructed view of far-side puppetry (minor for children's show)
Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)
- ORCHESTRA LEFT/RIGHT - Row W ($212):
- ⭐ Center-adjacent seating with perfect sightlines to all stage action
- ⭐ Elevated enough for children to see over heads (unlike front rows)
- ⭐ Direct view of character entrances/exits from side tunnels
Higher Tier Options (Enhanced Experience)
- ORCH CENTER - Row S ($536):
- 🏆 Dead-center position ideal for capturing the full stage panorama
- 🏆 Close enough for potential character interaction (8-10 rows back)
- ⚠️ Consider if children can sit still for full performance at this price
Premium/Last-Minute Splurge
- ORCH - Row M ($556):
- 💎 Ultra-close "magic circle" seating (Row M is actually 6th row center)
- 💎 Best chance for direct character engagement and photo ops
- 💎 Includes Kennedy Center's premium concierge services
Key View Differences
- Side vs Center: House Left/Right ($99) have angled views but full stage visibility; Center sections ($212+) offer straight-on perspective of all set pieces
- Row Depth: Rows S/M (mid-orchestra) are ideal for small children - elevated enough to see over heads but still feel immersed
- Character Sightlines: Side sections may see certain puppets at slight angles during lateral movements
Our Recommendation
For most families, the ORCHESTRA LEFT/RIGHT Row W ($212) offers the optimal balance - excellent central views at half the price of premium center seats. The $99 House Left/Right tickets are a steal if budget is primary concern. Splurge on ORCH Row M only if seeking maximum character interaction.
Pro Tips
- Arrive 30+ minutes early for pre-show activities in the Grand Foyer
- Terrace Theater's steep rake means even rear seats have clear views
- Check Kennedy Center's family restrooms near the gift shop
