Viewing Considerations

• Balcony (B sections): Higher elevation helps appreciate the full staging but distant for facial expressions

• Side Sections: Some visual compromises but often better value - right side (audience perspective) has more key scenes
• Front Rows: May require looking up at certain scenes but incredible for actor proximity

Our Top 3 Recommendations

1. ORCHESTRA RIGHT CENTRE Row 16 ($188) - Perfect angle for processionals with good value
2. DCR Row 8 ($148) - Dress circle right front row offers elevation and intimacy
3. BCTR Row 34 ($139) - Best balcony value for families/groups

Final Tips

For The Lion King specifically, consider seats with slightly elevated views (Rows 15-25 in orchestra or dress circle) to fully appreciate the puppet work. Right side sections often have better views of key scenes like the elephant procession.
