Sarofim Hall - Hobby Center | Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to the Best Seats at Houston’s Premier Theater

Sarofim Hall at the Hobby Center is Houston’s crown jewel for Broadway shows, concerts, and performances. With its elegant design and superb acoustics, knowing the seating chart ensures you get the best experience. Here’s a breakdown of the venue’s layout, seat views, and tips for choosing your perfect spot.

Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra (Floor Level): Closest to the stage, offering unobstructed views. Rows A-F are premium but may strain necks for tall patrons.
• Mezzanine (Middle Tier): Elevated for a balanced view of the stage. Center sections provide the best sightlines, while side sections may have slight angle limitations.
• Balcony (Upper Tier): Budget-friendly with a full stage view, though distant. Front rows (A-C) are preferable; rear rows may feel detached.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Broadway Shows: Mezzanine center (Rows A-D) for a full stage perspective.
• Concerts: Orchestra center (Rows G-K) for intimacy without distortion.
• Dance Performances: Front mezzanine for an aerial view of choreography.

VIP & Accessibility

• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in Orchestra and Mezzanine, with companion seats.

Pro Tips
