Cirque du Soleil "Mad Apple" Special Notes

This NYC-inspired show features more ground-level performances than traditional Cirque productions, making stage-close seats particularly rewarding. The theater's intimate size (1,200 seats) means there are no truly bad views, but center sections provide the most comprehensive experience.
