Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre

The Metropolis Performing Arts Centre in Arlington Heights is a premier venue for theater, concerts, and comedy, offering an intimate 329-seat space with exceptional acoustics and sightlines. This guide breaks down the seating chart, highlights the best sections, and helps you choose the perfect seats for your next event.

Metropolis Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra Section (Rows A–K): Closest to the stage, offering unobstructed views. Front rows (A–D) provide actor immersion but may require slight neck tilting. Mid-orchestra (E–G) balances proximity and comfort.
• Mezzanine (Rows L–M): Elevated for a broader perspective, ideal for musicals and dance performances. No obstructions, but some seats lack legroom.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Theater: Center orchestra (Rows E–G) for optimal sightlines and acoustics.
• Concerts: Side orchestra (Rows C–F) for proximity to performers.
• Comedy: Front mezzanine for a full-stage view without craning.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Avoid far side seats in rows A–B, as stage edges may obscure sightlines. Mezzanine seats offer a slight overhang but maintain clear views. Wheelchair-accessible spots are available in both sections.
