Discover the best seats for Disney's Beauty and The Beast at Minneapolis' historic Orpheum Theatre. This guide highlights optimal sections for every budget, with detailed notes on sightlines and value.

💰 Best Value Tickets ($65-$79)

• BALC8 Row V/D/T (4-8 tickets @ $65): Rear balcony with surprisingly good angled views of the stage. Ideal for budget-conscious groups.
• BALC9 Row S/D (8 tickets @ $65): Side balcony with clear sightlines to center stage. Minimal obstruction from railings.
• BALC7 Row V (8 tickets @ $65): Straight-on balcony view with excellent acoustics. Higher row means better rake angle.

Pro Tip: Balcony rows Q-V offer the best value - you'll miss some facial expressions but catch all major staging.

🎯 Sweet Spot ($96-$133)

• BALC9 Row N ($97): Center-left balcony with direct sightlines to the castle set pieces.
• BALC7 Row N ($119): Premium balcony location - close enough to see costume details during "Be Our Guest".
• MF4 Row W ($122): Mezzanine front with slightly elevated view over orchestra. Best for shorter attendees.

✨ Premium & Last-Minute Options ($175+)

• MF3 Row AA/BB ($175): Front mezzanine boxes - unobstructed views with private railings.
• BALC6 Row F ($175): Front-center balcony - perfect for appreciating the choreography.
• MF1 Row X ($175): Orchestra side with excellent proximity for "Tale as Old as Time".

🔍 Key Section Differences

• Balcony (BALC): Steep rake ensures good visibility, but distant views of facial expressions. Best for appreciating large set pieces.
