💰 Best Value Tickets (Under $130)

• Balcony Rows J-G: Best budget option ($96-$122). Center sections (BALC/BALCONY CENTER) offer better sightlines despite higher elevation. Avoid extreme sides in Balcony Left/Right.

🎯 Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• Mezzanine Rows J-K ($124-$158): MEZZANINE CENTER provides optimal Broadway viewing angles. Rows J-K avoid overhang issues while maintaining intimacy.
• Orchestra Periphery: ORCHPV rows E-L ($161) - closer but side views. Good for seeing facial expressions.
• Pro Tip: Mezzanine Left/Right Rows J-K ($136-$158) often have better legroom than center sections.

✨ Higher Tier Options

• Orchestra Middle: Rows P-T ($169-$253). Right/Left Orchestra near center (Rows R/S) offer premium views at 20% discount vs center.
• Box Seats: BOX D ($201) provides unique angled perspective - best for 2-3 person groups.
• Warning: Front Mezzanine Rows A-C ($218-$325) may have obstructed views of upstage areas.

💎 Premium Picks

• Center Orchestra: Rows N-U ($271-$325). Row N ($322) hits the "golden ratio" - perfect depth for full stage visibility.
• VIP Boxes: BOX A ($278) - most luxurious experience with private space.
• Last-Minute Splurge: ORCHESTRA CENTER Row F ($362) - closest center availability.

🔍 View Comparison

• Balcony: Steep incline means Row A feels closer than Row J, but all balcony seats require leaning forward.
• Mezzanine: 15° better viewing angle than Orchestra for dance-heavy numbers.
• Orchestra: Rows A-J may miss floor-level choreography; Rows K-T ideal for full-stage pictures.

📌 Recommendations

• Best Overall: MEZZANINE CENTER Row J ($131-$158) balances price and perfection.
• Budget Choice: BALCONY CENTER Row F ($124) - bring binoculars.
• Group Bookings: BALCONY RIGHT Row J (4 tickets @ $96 each).

⚠️ Key Warnings

• ORCH L/R Rows G-H ($218-$228) have severe side angles - only for fans wanting actor proximity.
• Front Mezzanine (Rows A-C) may miss flying effects or upper-level staging.
