Seating Chart Insights

The auditorium's sloped floor means even rear orchestra seats (RR-TT) have good sightlines. Side sections (FORF/FOLF) closer than they appear - ideal for budget-conscious fans. Center sections command premium prices but offer the most balanced views of the elaborate staging.

Pro Tips

• Rows A-J in front sections may require slight neck craning - consider Rows K+ for comfort
• Left side (FOLF/ROLM) offers better views of Javert's scenes
• Right side (FORF/RORM) better for Cosette/Marius moments
• Last-minute deals often appear for RORM/ROCR sections

VIP Note

True center orchestra seats (ORCH CTR Row BB at $726+) offer unparalleled views but come at premium prices. For most attendees, the ROCR/RORM sections provide 90% of the experience at 25% of the cost.
