• Best overall value: Section 203 Row KK ($155) provides central positioning at mid-range price
• Premium choice: Section 102 Row B ($327) puts you in the "Goldilocks zone" - not too close, not too far
• Avoid extreme side seats in Sections 201/205 beyond Row PP as sightlines become obstructed

Special Notes

The theater's in-the-round design means there are no truly bad seats, but consider:

• Rows AA-DD in premium sections may have performers passing directly overhead
• Seats ending in even numbers typically face more stage action
• Late arrivals may be held until a suitable break in the performance

Current Best Deals

• 4 tickets in Section 101 Row M at $155 (great orchestra-level value)
• 9 tickets in Section 204 Row GG at $155 (perfect mid-show viewing angle)
