• Dress Circle Rows 13-16 ($91-103) - First elevated section with exceptional legroom and panoramic views of the entire production.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

• Orchestra Left/Right Center Rows 4-6 ($139-145) - Slight angle provides dynamic perspective of the line formations.
• Mezzanine Center Rows 26-32 ($144-153) - Elevated but close with perfect sightlines to appreciate the geometric patterns.

Premium & Last-Minute Options

• Orchestra Center Rows 1-5 ($174-1515) - Close enough to hear the taps. Front rows (1-3) may require slight head tilting.

• Box Seats ($374-677) - Private balcony areas with unique diagonal perspectives of the stage.

View Comparison & Recommendations

• Balcony vs Orchestra: Balcony (Rows 28-34) offers better views of formation patterns while Orchestra captures footwork details.
• Center vs Side: Center sections (BCTR, MCTR) provide symmetrical views while side sections (BL/BR) offer dynamic perspectives at lower prices.
• Row Tip: For Orchestra, Rows 15-22 avoid both distance and neck strain. In Balcony, Rows 28-32 are the golden middle.

Special Notes for Riverdance

This production benefits from elevated seating to appreciate the full scope of the choreography. The Queen Elizabeth Theatre's steep balcony ensures good sightlines even in higher rows. For the true Riverdance experience, we recommend prioritizing center sections where possible to fully appreciate the symmetrical formations.
