Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

• Sections 202-204 Rows AA ($330-396): Front row of upper sections - excellent for viewers who prefer elevation to see aerial acts.
• VIP Packages: Includes premium seating, merchandise and sometimes backstage access (prices vary by package).

View Comparison Guide

• Lower Level (100s): Best for seeing facial expressions and costume details. Side sections may have slight viewing angles for some aerial acts.
• Upper Level (200s): Better for appreciating the full scope of choreography and aerial performances. Center sections provide the most balanced views.
• Front Rows: More immersive but may require looking up for aerial acts. Back rows offer more comfortable viewing angles.

Pro Tips for Your Purchase

• The theater's in-the-round design means there are no truly bad seats, but center sections (102, 203) provide the most balanced views.
• For budget tickets, Section 205 offers better value than comparable priced seats in other sections.
• Consider Row MM in Section 201 ($141) - it's often overlooked but provides excellent views at mid-level pricing.
• If choosing side sections, opt for seats closer to the center aisle for better angles.
• Check for last-minute deals on premium seats (especially weekdays) when prices sometimes drop.
