Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• CBAL Row U ($92): Center balcony seats with surprisingly good sightlines to the full stage panorama. Slightly higher angle enhances the savanna scenes.
• LBAL Row X ($96): Left balcony side section - excellent value for money. Minimal side angle distortion for this production.
• RBAL Row Y ($98): Mirror of LBAL on right side. These rear balcony seats still capture all the puppetry and choreography.

Sweet Spot Seats (Best Balance of Price & View: $100-$150)

• RCBAL Row V ($99): Right center balcony - perfect middle ground for appreciating Zazu's aerial movements and Pride Rock scenes.
• LBAL Row V ($100): Closer balcony seating where facial expressions become visible during emotional numbers like "They Live in You."
• RLGE Row D ($132): Right loge seats - elevated but closer than balcony with exceptional diagonal views of the stampede sequence.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views: $150-$250)

• LCBAL Row O ($145): Left center balcony front - ideal for catching intricate puppet details during "Circle of Life" opening.
• RLGE Row B ($143): Loge seating with unparalleled sightlines to overhead bungee effects in "He Lives in You."
• RORC Row AA ($197): Right orchestra center - close enough to see the actors' eye movements during intense scenes.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($250+)

• LLGE Row A ($242): Left loge front row - perfect elevation for the waterfall scene in "Can You Feel the Love Tonight."
• ORCH LEFT AA ($455): Front orchestra left - feel the heat from the fire effects in "Be Prepared."
• ORCH CTR AA ($637): Center orchestra gold standard - immersive experience with perfect sightlines to all stage levels.

View Comparison by Section

• Balcony (CBAL/LBAL/RBAL): Best for appreciating large-scale choreography and lighting design. Higher rows (U-Y) offer surprisingly good value.
• Loge (RLGE/LLGE): The "sweet spot" elevation - close enough for details but high enough for full-stage perspectives.
• Orchestra (ORCH/RORC/LORC): Premium proximity - see facial expressions and puppet mechanisms up close.
• Box Seats: Intimate experience but some visual compromises with side angles during certain scenes.
