Higher Tier Options ($127-$175)

• MF1-2 Rows A-C ($130-$175): Front mezzanine center - pristine views but premium pricing.
• BALC6-9 Rows A-D ($100-$150): Front balcony - closer but requires looking slightly upward.

View Comparison

• Orchestra: Closest to stage but may miss some overhead effects. Rows AA-EE avoid potential obstructions.

Our Top Recommendations

• Best Overall Value: MF3 Row DD ($126) - dead-center mezzanine with perfect viewing angle
• Budget Pick: BALC7 Row S ($65) - cheapest full-stage view
• Premium Experience: MF1 Row B ($236) - close enough to see facial expressions
• Group Friendly: BALC8 Row V ($82) - multiple seats together in good side section

Seating Chart Tips

The Orpheum's historic design means some balcony seats have slightly obstructed views of the far sides of the stage. For "Beauty and The Beast," we recommend prioritizing center sections to fully appreciate the elaborate set designs and flying effects.
