Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats & Views

The Martin Luther King Jr Performing Arts Center is a premier venue for concerts, theater, and cultural events. Known for its exceptional acoustics and intimate atmosphere, choosing the right seat enhances your experience. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips for selecting the perfect spot.

Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra Section (Floor): Closest to the stage, ideal for clear views and immersive performances. Rows A-F offer unobstructed sightlines, while rear rows may have slight elevation challenges.
• Mezzanine (Mid-Level): Elevated for a broader perspective, perfect for ballet or orchestral events. Center seats provide balanced views, but side sections may have angled sightlines.
• Balcony (Upper Tier): Budget-friendly with a panoramic view. Front rows are excellent, but rear rows may feel distant for smaller-scale performances.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Concerts: Orchestra center (Rows A-M) or mezzanine front for optimal sound and visibility.
• Theater: Mezzanine center for a full-stage view without straining your neck.
• Dance: Orchestra sides (angled toward the stage) to appreciate movement dynamics.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private, cushioned seating with dedicated service—ideal for groups.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible spots in Orchestra and Mezzanine, with companion seating.

Pro Tips

• Check for obstructed views (e.g., railings in front rows).
• For budget seats, aim for balcony front rows over rear orchestra.
• Use TicketHold’s interactive seat maps to preview your view.
