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 how to navigate the seating options for "Sesame Street Live!" while balancing budget and viewing quality.
Best Value Tickets (Budget-Friendly Picks)
- ORCHESTRA HOUSE RIGHT/LEFT - Row W ($99): Side sections but angled toward center stage. Perfect for families wanting affordable tickets without sacrificing the live experience. Only ~12 rows back in this intimate venue.
- Key Advantage: 35% cheaper than center orchestra seats with only slightly angled views of the puppetry.
Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)
- ORCHESTRA RIGHT/LEFT - Row W ($212): Closer to center than House sections, with direct sightlines to the main stage. Ideal for capturing full-stage choreography.
- View Note: The Terrace Theater's steep rake means even Row W has unobstructed views over children's heads.
Premium Options (Closest Views)
- ORCH CENTER - Row S ($516): Dead-center position approximately 8 rows from stage. Perfect for capturing facial expressions on larger-than-life puppets.
- ORCH CENTER - Row L ($576): Front row experience where kids might interact with performers. Expect premium pricing for these coveted seats.
Seating Comparison Highlights
- Viewing Angles: House sections (99) have 25-30° angles vs near-straight views in ORCH sections (212+).
- Row Depth: Rows S (8th row) and L (1st row) offer vastly different proximity at 2.5x price difference.
- Child-Friendly: All seats have good vertical sightlines, but center sections minimize neck craning.
Our Recommendation
For most families, the ORCHESTRA HOUSE seats at $99 deliver exceptional value. The modest angle still provides 90% of the stage view at less than half the price of center orchestra. If budget allows, upgrading to ORCHESTRA RIGHT/LEFT ($212) improves the sightlines significantly while avoiding premium pricing.
Pro Tips
- Side sections often have better aisle access for quick bathroom breaks.
- The Terrace Theater's acoustics are excellent throughout - no "bad sound" seats exist.
- Consider Row W in any section for easy in/out access with young children.
