Lyric Theatre - Harry Potter and The Cursed Child Seating Guide

Best Value Tickets (Under $110)

• Balcony Left/Right Row D ($96-$101): Elevated view but slightly angled. Best budget option for groups (4+ tickets available).
• Balcony Center Row E ($96): Direct center view from upper level. Limited legroom but excellent price for 5 tickets.
• Balcony Box G ($99): Unique side-box experience with partial stage view. Only 1 ticket available.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($110-$150)

• Dress Circle Rows K-M ($111-$149): Mezzanine level with perfect sightlines. Center sections (K/L) offer the best balance of price/view.
• Orchestra ZZ Rows ($111-$148): Rear orchestra at balcony prices. Slight overhang but full stage visibility.
• Balcony Front Rows B/D ($108-$144): Closest balcony seats. Row B center ($108) is a steal for early buyers.

Higher Tier Options ($150-$200)

• Dress Circle Rows F-H ($151-$178): Premium mezzanine with immersive views. Center sections (F/G) show magical effects best.
• Orchestra Rows W-Y ($154-$183): Mid-rear orchestra depth. Row Y center ($173) avoids overhang while keeping costs reasonable.
• Balcony Front Row A ($157): Only 4 available - railing may obstruct partial view for shorter guests.

Premium & Last-Minute ($200+)

• Dress Circle Rows C-D ($190-$210): Front mezzanine magic. Center D ($210) puts you at spell-casting level with the actors.
• Orchestra Rows Q-U ($226-$194): Mid-orchestra perfection. Left/Right sections ($193) offer diagonal views of flying scenes.
• Front Orchestra Rows A-J ($247-$384): See facial expressions clearly. Row B center ($338) is VIP territory for true Potter fans.

View Considerations

• Balcony: High perspective shows all stage magic but misses subtle acting. Rows A-D avoid under-balcony overhang.
• Dress Circle: Goldilocks zone - elevated enough for effects yet close for emotional scenes. Center sections preferred.
• Orchestra: Front half (Rows A-J) sees wand work best. Rear (ZZ) may require leaning forward during floor-level scenes.
• Box Seats: Intimate but may have sightline obstructions - best for solo attendees wanting unique angles.

Pro Tips

• For groups: Balcony Center Row E ($96 x5) or Dress Circle Left Row L ($114 x4) offer best group value
• For couples: Dress Circle Center Row K ($112) provides romantic Broadway experience
• Last-minute seekers: Check for released Orchestra Row ZZ seats ($111) day-of-show
• Accessibility: Dress Circle Rows L-M ($147) require least stairs with excellent views

Magical Effects Guide

The Cursed Child's illusions work best from center sections: Dress Circle Rows F-J (spells appear to fly toward you) and Orchestra Rows G-M (perfect elevation for apparitions). Side sections may miss some floating effects.
