• Mezzanine Right Row L ($179): Slight side angle but excellent elevation for appreciating the stage pictures.
• BOX50 ($210): Private box seats with unique angled perspective - great for couples wanting intimacy.

⭐ Sweet Spot (Balance of Price & View)

• MEZZC Rows J-L ($190-$201): Dead-center mezzanine with ideal viewing height. Only $16 more than MEZZO for significantly better alignment.
• MEZZO Rows E ($202): Closer mezzanine seating still under $210 - rare find for this proximity.

🔝 Higher Tier Options

• Mezzanine Center Rows G-H ($276-$311): Premium mezzanine locations with perfect sightlines to appreciate the full stage composition.
• ORCHO Rows D-F ($284-$290): Mid-orchestra golden zone - close enough to see facial expressions but with full stage perspective.
• Orchestra Left/Right Rows O-P ($306-$319): Side sections but excellent proximity - particularly good for this production's staging.

💎 Premium & Last-Minute Selections

• ORCHC Rows A-AA ($418-$444): Front center orchestra - immersive experience with every detail visible.
• MEZZC Rows A-B ($548-$651): Front mezzanine boxes - celebrity favorite seats with perfect vantage point.

👁️ View Considerations

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine offers better perspective for this visually rich production, while orchestra provides intimacy.

🎭 Special Recommendations

• For Budget-Conscious: MEZZO Row J at $161 is the undisputed value champion.
• For Best Overall: MEZZC Row H ($231) combines perfect center position with ideal viewing height.
