- DRESS CIRCLE LEFT - Row E ($163-164): First tier seating with perfect sightlines to the stage. The Dress Circle provides an ideal overhead perspective for ballet.
- REAR MAIN FLOOR RIGHT CENTER - Row HH ($184): Slightly rear-centered position still offers clear views with $30+ savings over front sections.
Sweet Spot Seating (Good Availability & Price)

- REAR MAIN FLOOR CENTER - Row KK ($205): True center position at mid-orchestra depth. Ideal for those who prefer straight-on views.
- UPPER BALCONY - Row Q ($194): Highest balcony but front-row position eliminates any overhang obstructions.
Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)
- FRONT MAIN FLOOR RIGHT CENTER - Rows O-P ($269): Excellent proximity but side-angled views may miss some choreography details.
- 1ST BALCONY CENTER - Row R ($425): Premium elevation but overpriced compared to similar Dress Circle seats at half the cost.
Premium & Last-Minute Options

View Differences & Recommendations
- Balcony vs. Orchestra: For ballet, Dress Circle (1st balcony) often provides better overall perspective of formations than main floor seats at similar prices.

Special Notes for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
This production features elaborate sets and aerial choreography. We recommend Dress Circle or Front Balcony seats (Rows E-F) to fully appreciate the vertical staging elements. Avoid extreme side sections that may miss some overhead performances.
