Expert Recommendations for "Hamlet" at Mark Taper Forum
The Mark Taper Forum's intimate 739-seat thrust stage demands strategic seat selection. Here's our breakdown of current ticket options for Shakespeare's "Hamlet," with visual guidance to match your budget and viewing preferences.
🎯 Best Value Tickets (Budget-Conscious)
Section B, Row G ($35):
- Located in side orchestra with slight angle toward stage
- Elevated view avoids obstructions from front-row heads
- Best for: Students or groups wanting decent sightlines at lowest price
- Note: Partial side view may miss some upstage action
✨ Sweet Spot (Price-to-View Balance)
Floor Section, Row K ($74):
- Center orchestra positioning
- Optimal 12th row distance - close enough for facial expressions but far enough for full stage pictures
- Best for: First-time visitors wanting classic theater experience
- Bonus: These often become premium seats if closer rows sell out
💎 Higher Tier Options (Enhanced Experience)
Floor Section, Row H ($86):
- 9th row center - premium viewing distance
- See costume details and subtle actor movements
- Best for: Shakespeare enthusiasts analyzing performances
- Warning: May require slight neck tilt for upper-level action
⚠️ Buyer Considerations
- View Differences: Rows A-F may feel too close (actors' feet at eye level), while rows M+ start losing intimacy
- Side Sections: B/C offer savings but require 45-degree head turn
- Aisle vs Center: Aisle seats ease exit but compromise sightlines
- Price Level C1: Typically front side boxes - private but extreme angles
🔍 Our Top Pick
For most attendees, the Floor Row K ($74) tickets deliver the ideal balance of price and perspective at this intimate venue. The center orientation provides unimpeded views of the play's crucial soliloquies and fight choreography.
Pro Tip
Mark Taper's steep rake means even rear floor seats have clear sightlines. If budget allows, pair Row H tickets with the venue's pre-show backstage tour ($25 add-on) for deeper immersion.
