Kennedy Center Terrace Theater | Best Seats for "Sesame Street Live!"
Smart Seat Selection Guide for Family-Friendly Viewing
The intimate 500-seat Terrace Theater offers excellent sightlines throughout, but strategic seat selection enhances the experience for young children. Here's how to maximize value while ensuring your family enjoys every puppet-filled moment.
Best Value Tickets (Under $65)
- Orch House Left/Right - Rows W/U ($61-$64): Side sections with only slight angle toward stage. Row W provides easy aisle access crucial for bathroom breaks. 4+ tickets available.
- Why These Work: At 50% cheaper than center orchestra, these still maintain full stage visibility - kids won't miss Elmo's entrance from either side.
Sweet Spot (Balance of Price & View)
- Orchestra Right - Row H ($81): Near-center positioning without premium pricing. Row H is the 8th row - close enough for child engagement but not overwhelming.
- Orch House Left - Row M ($105): Closer side seats with only 12 rows between you and the stage. Ideal for families wanting proximity at mid-range price.
Higher Tier Options
- ORCH CENTER - Row S ($516): Prime center sections but at luxury pricing. Only recommended if you need guaranteed direct sightlines for special needs children.
- ORCH Rows L/M ($556-$596): First 7 rows provide immersive experience, though young children may prefer being slightly further back (rows H-K ideal).
View Differences by Section
- Orch House vs Orchestra: House sections are slightly angled but have wider seats - helpful for lap-sitting children. Center orchestra has perfect alignment but tighter spacing.
- Front Rows (A-G): Can require neck craning for kids under 4ft tall. Rows H-M offer better vertical sightlines.
- Side Sections: Characters primarily face center but frequently move stage-left/right - no significant viewing disadvantages.
Expert Recommendations
- For Groups of 4+: Orch House Right Row W ($61) delivers best per-seat value while keeping families together.
- For Toddlers: Orchestra Right Row H ($81) provides center view with quick aisle access.
- Premium Choice: ORCH Row L ($576) if you want character interaction opportunities.
- Avoid: Rows A-D center - too close for optimal puppet viewing angles.
Theater Layout Tips
The Terrace Theater's steep rake ensures good visibility even from rear seats. All aisles lead directly to lobby restrooms - crucial for young attendees. House left sections have slightly quicker access to family facilities.
Final Advice
- Purchase side section tickets and use savings for souvenir merchandise
- Arrive 30+ minutes early for pre-show character meet-and-greets
- Consider Row K-M in any section for ideal vertical sightlines
