Mark Taper Forum Seating Guide for "Hamlet" – Best Views & Value
Expert Recommendations for the Best Seats at Mark Taper Forum
The Mark Taper Forum's intimate 739-seat thrust stage configuration means nearly every seat offers excellent sightlines, but some sections deliver exceptional value. Here's our expert breakdown for "Hamlet" performances:
🎯 Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)
- FLOOR Section, Row M ($68): Center-floor seating at mid-depth provides perfect eye-level viewing of the thrust stage. You'll catch every facial expression without neck strain.
- Terrace Seating Rows A-C: Elevated side sections offer dramatic angled views of the stage at 20-30% discounts from center floor seats.
⭐ Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- Floor Section, Row J ($79): Just 10 rows back with pristine sightlines - the goldilocks zone for serious theatergoers who want premium proximity without premium prices.
- Orchestra Side Sections Rows D-G: Slight angle reveals fascinating stage depth in this production while keeping all actors visible.
🎭 Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)
- Center Floor Rows A-D: ($120+) Ultra-close immersion but may require some head movement during soliloquies delivered stage-rear.
- Front Terrace Center: ($95) Elevated straight-on view but slightly more detached experience.
💎 Premium or Last-Minute Picks
- Box Seats: ($150+) Private loge-style seating with the most leg room and quickest lounge access.
- Day-Of Rush Tickets: Often release prime center seats at 40% discounts 2 hours before curtain.
🔍 View Differences by Section
- Front Floor (Rows A-E): See sweat and tears - perfect for catching subtle acting choices but requires some visual panning.
- Mid-Floor (Rows F-M): Takes in the full stage picture with all actors equally visible during ensemble scenes.
- Terrace: Reveals beautiful stage architecture and lighting design that floor seats miss.
📌 Our Top Recommendation
The Floor Row M tickets at $68 are the undisputed value champions - offering 90% of the premium experience at 60% of front-section prices. For "Hamlet's" emotional soliloquies, this mid-depth position lets you lean into every whispered word while comfortably taking in the full staging.
Pro Tip: The Taper's thrust stage means side sections (even at sharp angles) often provide more dynamic views than traditional proscenium theaters. Don't fear the side seats!
