Best Value Tickets (Under $120)

• Rear Mezzanine (Sections 201-205, Rows QQ): $105 - Excellent budget option with full-stage views (4+ tickets available)
• Mid-Mezzanine (Sections 201/204, Rows HH-KK): $118 - Closer angle while maintaining good elevation (multiple rows available)

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• Orchestra Rear (Sections 101/103, Rows B-P): $155-$171 - Floor seats at mezzanine prices (avoid rows A for potential head obstruction)

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

• Orchestra Center (Section 102, Rows A-K): $237-$317 - Direct frontal views with immersive effects (rows F-H offer best value)
• Premium Mezzanine (Sections 201-205, Rows AA-EE): $237-$343 - Closest mezzanine seats with dramatic angles (section 203 has best availability)

VIP & Last-Minute Premium

• Front Orchestra (Section 102, Rows A-D): $352-$388 - Ultimate proximity to performers (limited last-minute availability)
• AA Row Mezzanine: $330-$396 - First row of elevated sections with unobstructed views

Key View Differences

• Orchestra (Floor): Best for feeling immersed in the production, though rear seats may have slightly obstructed views of aerial acts
• Mezzanine: Provides the most comprehensive view of the entire stage and aerial performances - higher rows (QQ) see more of the projection mapping
• Side Sections (201/205): Offer unique angular perspectives that enhance certain choreography sequences

Pro Tips

• Rows AA-EE in mezzanine provide the "director's view" - perfect for appreciating the full staging
• Section 204 currently has the best availability of mid-price ($155) tickets in rows GG-HH
• For groups of 4+, the $105 QQ row tickets offer exceptional value with full-stage visibility
• Avoid extreme side seats in sections 201/205 beyond row PP for potential viewing angles

Current Best Deals

• 4 tickets in Section 201 Row QQ - $105 each (full group seating)
• Section 204 Row GG - $155 (9 available, excellent center-mezzanine location)
• Section 103 Row D - $155 (4 available, orchestra at mezzanine price)

The theater's in-the-round design means there are no truly bad seats, but choosing the right section dramatically affects your perspective of the aerial performances and projection mapping that make this show unique.
