TicketHold | Newmark Theatre Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Portland’s Iconic Venue

The historic Newmark Theatre in Portland combines intimate charm with world-class acoustics, hosting Broadway shows, concerts, and performances. With just over 800 seats, it offers an up-close experience, but choosing the right section is key.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Orchestra (Rows A-P): Unbeatable proximity to the stage with slight elevation. Center seats (Sections 2-3) provide perfect sightlines, while side sections (1/4) may have minor angle limitations.
• Mezzanine (Rows AA-GG): Elevated views with excellent overall perspectives. Front Mezzanine (AA-CC) offers the best balance, while rear Mezzanine may feel distant for intimate performances.
• Balcony: Most affordable option with good visibility, though the steep incline means leaning forward isn’t necessary.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Broadway Shows: Orchestra Center (Rows E-L) for full stage views and facial expressions.
• Concerts: Front Mezzanine for balanced sound and sightlines.
• Lectures: Any center section with clear sight of the podium.

VIP & Accessibility

• Premium Seating: Rows E-K center include plush seating and exclusive lounge access.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible spots in Orchestra rear and Mezzanine front with companion seating.
• Obstruction Note: Balcony railings may slightly impact sightlines for shorter guests.

Pro Tips

• For dance performances, prioritize elevated seats (Mezzanine) to appreciate formations.
• Budget-conscious? Side Orchestra often delivers better value than center Balcony.
• Check the venue’s virtual view tool before purchasing for exact sightline confirmation.
