View Comparison
- Balcony vs Mezzanine: Balcony is higher but often closer to stage horizontally. Mezzanine provides more comfortable sightlines over audience heads.
- Center vs Side: Center sections (CBALC/CMEZZ/CORCH) offer straight-on views while side sections provide more angled perspectives.
- Orchestra Note: Floor seats have no rake - taller people in front may obstruct views. Mezzanine avoids this issue.

- Premium Pick: CMEZZ Row B at $107 - unparalleled sightlines without premium orchestra prices

Special Considerations
For Amateur Night shows, audience interaction is key - orchestra seats (especially Rows A-F) put you in the thick of the action but may have obstructed views when standing occurs. Mezzanine seats provide better overall sightlines for this type of performance.
