Expert Recommendations for Cirque du Soleil 'Auana at Waikiki Beachcomber

Experience the magic of Cirque du Soleil's 'Auana in this intimate 700-seat theater. Our seating guide helps you choose between value sections, premium views, and last-minute options for this acrobatic spectacle blending Hawaiian culture with Cirque's signature artistry.

Best Value Tickets (Under $120)

• Section 202, Row DD ($102): Rear side sections offer solid angled views of the stage at 30% discount from center sections. Slight compromise on perspective but full visibility of aerial acts.
• Section 103, Row D ($106): Front side orchestra with closer proximity to stage-left performances. Excellent for seeing facial expressions and ground-level acts.
• Section 201, Row HH ($118): First row of elevated rear center - avoids over-arching necks while maintaining straight-on views of the entire production.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($120-$170)

• Section 201, Row DD ($134): Mid-level center balcony with perfect vertical sightlines to appreciate the full stage picture and aerial apparatus work.
• Section 101, Row E ($153): Orchestra center at 15 rows back - ideal for those wanting to feel immersed in the performance while avoiding potential splash zones.
• Section 204, Row CC ($153): Side loge seating with slight angle - provides unique overhead perspective of acrobatic transitions.

Higher Tier Options ($170-$220)

• Section 102, Row D ($171): Premium orchestra center - close enough to see muscle tension during hand-balancing acts.
• Section 101, Row B ($199): 3rd row center - experience the energy of performers with possible eye contact during audience interaction moments.
• Section 103, Row A ($198): Front row side - may involve some neck craning but unparalleled proximity to stage-left acts.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($220+)

• Section 101, Row A ($218): Front row center - prepare for potential performer interaction and immersive 180-degree viewing experience.
• Section 102, Row A ($243): Second row center - balances proximity with slightly better vertical sightlines for aerial sequences.
• VIP Sections (Price on Request): Includes pre-show lounge access and premium center rows AA-BB with souvenir program.

View Comparison Guide

• Orchestra Center (Sections 101-102): Best for seeing facial expressions and ground acts. Rows A-F ideal, G+ may have obscured views of high apparatus work.
• Orchestra Sides (Section 103): Unique angled perspectives - left side favored for most entrances in 'Auana.
• Loge/Balcony (Sections 201-204): Superior for appreciating aerial choreography patterns. Front rows (DD-HH) avoid balcony overhang sightline issues.

Pro Tips

• Avoid extreme side sections (204/202) beyond Row FF due to potential rigging obstructions
• Balcony rows AA-BB may feel too vertically steep for some viewers
• For groups of 4+, consider Section 201 Row DD ($134) - multiple tickets available with cohesive viewing experience
• Arrive early - the theater's Hawaiian-inspired pre-show begins 30 minutes before curtain
