• Sections 203-204, Rows GG-HH: $155 - Lower balcony with direct sightlines to the aerial performances.
• Section 205, Rows BB-DD: $155-171 - Side sections with unique angled views of the stage and good proximity.

View Comparison by Section

• Orchestra (Sections 101-103): Best for seeing detailed choreography but may require some neck craning for aerial acts.
• Lower Balcony (Sections 201-205, Rows GG-NN): Ideal elevation to appreciate both ground and aerial performances.
• Upper Balcony (Sections 201-205, Rows QQ+): Most affordable but furthest from the action - better for taking in the full spectacle.
• Side Sections (205, 103): Unique angled perspectives that often provide closer proximity to certain performance elements.

Pro Tips for Seat Selection

• Rows A-C in orchestra may have performers entering/exiting through the aisles - exciting but potentially distracting.
• Balcony seats in Rows GG-JJ offer the best value for seeing the full scope of aerial performances.
• Avoid extreme side seats beyond Section 205 for optimal viewing of all stage projections.
• For groups of 4+, consider Section 203 Row NN ($118) - excellent availability and good sightlines.
