Best Value Tickets (Under $60)

  • Perfect for those who want intimacy without premium cost
  • May need to look slightly upward but full immersion
• Balcony Rows J & L ($66):
  • Center-balcony "goldilocks zone" – not too close, not too far
  • Excellent overhead view of choreography
  • Better legroom than front balcony rows

Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)

• Balcony Row E ($76):
  • Front balcony with slightly obstructed view of upstage
  • Closer but may require neck craning
  • Only worth if you prefer being closer over perfect sightlines
• Main Floor Row B ($75-89):
  • Second row has minor price jump for similar view as Row A
  • $88-89 tickets are overpriced compared to other options

Premium or Last-Minute Options

• Balcony Row A ($84):
  • Front-center balcony with dramatic downward view
  • Best for appreciating full stage choreography
  • Premium price reflects prime balcony positioning

Key View Differences

• Main Floor vs. Balcony:
  • Main Floor (Rows A-B): Eye-level intimacy, see facial expressions
  • Balcony: Better for appreciating full stage movement and lighting
• Front Balcony (Rows A-E): Steeper angle but closer proximity
• Mid-Balcony (Rows J-L): Ideal balance of distance and perspective
• Rear Balcony (Rows I,O): Most affordable but still clear views

Our Top Recommendations

• Budget-Conscious: Balcony Row I/O ($47) – unbeatable value
• Best Overall Experience: Balcony Row J/L ($66) or Main Floor Row A ($53-54)
• Splurge-Worthy: Balcony Row A ($84) for theatrical perspective
• Avoid overpriced Main Floor Row B ($88-89) when better options exist

Theater Layout Tip

The NorShor's intimate size means there are no truly bad seats, but for Waitress (with its pie-making scenes and choreography), a slightly elevated view (Balcony Rows J-L) often provides the most satisfying overall experience of the production.
