As a historic theater with excellent acoustics and sightlines, Ohio Theatre offers multiple seating options for Hamilton. Below are our carefully curated recommendations based on price, view quality, and availability to help you find the perfect seats.

Best Value Tickets (Under $140)

• BALCE Row W ($117): Rear balcony but center section - good vertical view of the stage
• BALCD Row O ($121): Mid-balcony with slight side angle but closer than rear sections
• BALCA Row U ($125): Side balcony but front section of the upper level
• BALCONYB Row Y ($129): Rear center balcony - elevated view but full stage visibility

Note: Balcony seats at Ohio Theatre are steeper than modern theaters, so even rear rows have clear sightlines over heads in front.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View $140-$180)

• BALCC Row S-W ($132-$135): Center balcony with optimal viewing distance
• MEZZD Row L ($148): Front mezzanine at balcony price - best deal in the house
• ORCHESTRA 1 Row W ($162): Rear orchestra but center section - no obstructions
• MEZZA Row K-M ($152-$155): Side mezzanine closer to stage action

Higher Tier Options ($180-$250)

• MEZZD Rows B-K ($197-$221): Front mezzanine center - perfect elevation
• ORCH1 Rows R-T ($180-$232): Mid-orchestra with premium sound quality
• MEZZC Rows F-J ($188-$241): Side mezzanine closer to stage

Viewing Differences by Section

• Mezzanine: Perfect elevation to see choreography patterns. Front rows (A-C) feel like premium orchestra.
• Orchestra: Rows A-J may require looking up slightly. Rows K-W offer ideal straight-on perspective.
• Box Seats (LOGE): Intimate experience but some have partial side views. Best for small groups.

Our Top 3 Picks for Hamilton

1. MEZZD Row L ($148): Unbeatable value - center mezzanine at balcony prices
2. ORCH1 Row W ($162): Affordable orchestra with perfect sound balance
3. MEZZA Row M ($155): Side mezzanine closer to stage for key scenes

Pro Tips

• Balcony seats in Rows S-Z still offer excellent views of the choreography
• Mezzanine center provides the best overall perspective for this production
• Avoid extreme side orchestra seats beyond Row 5 for Hamilton's staging
• Consider pair seats in BALCC/D ($132-$138) for best budget-friendly experience

Final Recommendation

For the ultimate Hamilton experience at Ohio Theatre, we recommend the center mezzanine sections (MEZZC/D) between rows K-M. These offer the perfect balance of price ($148-$177), view quality, and availability. If preferring orchestra, opt for ORCHESTRA 1 rows R-W ($180-$232) for premium sound and sightlines without the highest price tag.
