Seating Recommendations for Cats

• For best value: ORCHESTRA RR or BALCONY JJJ - save $30+ with minimal view compromise

• For true fans: ORCHESTRA ONE W or MAIN FLOOR NN - close enough to appreciate costumes/makeup
• For accessibility: ORCHESTRA LEFT/RIGHT PP - easy aisle access with great sightlines

View Differences Key Notes

• Orchestra vs Balcony: Orchestra puts you at stage level (better for facial expressions), balcony gives overall perspective (better for dance numbers)
• Center vs Side: Center sections have perfect alignment but cost 15-20% more than comparable side seats
• Row letters matter: At Paramount, earlier alphabet = closer to stage (A closest, Z farthest)
• Balcony overhang: Rows AAA-CCC may have slight sound dampening from overhang

Why Choose These Tickets?

The Paramount Theatre's intimate 1,888-seat configuration means there are no truly bad seats, but strategic selection enhances your Cats experience. The musical's elaborate choreography and makeup details reward mid-distance seating (Rows PP-SS in Orchestra or HHH in Balcony).
