Best Value Tickets (Under $120)

• Section 204, Row QQ ($105) - 7 available. Rear upper level but with complete stage visibility and great acoustics. Best for budget-conscious fans.
• Section 201/202, Row QQ ($105-118) - Side angles but unobstructed views of the aerial performances. Closer than equivalent-priced center sections.
• Section 205, Row HH ($118) - Direct side view with excellent proximity to the stage's right-side performance area.

Sweet Spot Seats (Best Price/View Balance $150-180)

• Section 103, Rows B-P ($155-171) - Lower bowl center sections with optimal elevation to appreciate the full stage choreography.
• Section 203, Row NN ($118) - 19 available! Upper center with perfect sightlines to all performance platforms.
• Section 204, Rows KK-LL ($118) - Steeper angle helps view the aerial acts without neck strain.

Higher Tier Options ($200-250)

• Section 102, Rows A-F ($171-237) - Front orchestra with immersive experience (watch for occasional obstructed views when performers are on platforms).
• Section 201, Rows PP-RR ($214-220) - Elevated side sections that actually provide better overall visibility than some lower-priced center seats.
• Section 205, Row JJ ($216) - Close proximity to the right catwalk where much of the MJ-style dancing occurs.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($250+)

• Section 101, Row A ($225-295) - True front row experience (note: some aerial elements may be hard to see from this low angle).
• Section 102, Rows A-C ($279-343) - Center orchestra with perfect sightlines to all stage levels.
• Section 202/203, Rows BB-CC ($286-343) - Upper center sections with the theater's most balanced views of floor and aerial performances.

Viewing Tips by Section

• 100-Level Sections: Best for seeing facial expressions and dance details. Higher rows (M+) avoid neck strain from upward viewing.
• 200-Level Center (203-204): Ideal for taking in the full spectacle - you'll see all aerial acts without moving your head.
• Side Sections (201-202/205): Surprisingly good value - the show is designed with 270° sightlines so you won't miss key elements.
• Front Rows: Bring binoculars to appreciate the intricate costume details during close-up moments.
