Southam Hall | Best Seats for Sesame Street Live! at National Arts Centre
Smart Seating Guide for Family-Friendly Performances
Planning to see Sesame Street Live! with kids? Southam Hall's tiered seating offers excellent views from multiple levels. Here's how to choose the best seats for your family's budget and needs, with detailed comparisons of sightlines and value options.
Best Value Tickets (Under $120)
- BALCONY Row F ($108): Elevated view perfect for kids - they'll love looking down at the stage. Slightly angled but unobstructed sightlines to all puppetry action.
- AMPHITHEATRE Row F ($110): Closer mid-level seating with excellent head-on perspective of the stage. Ideal for families wanting proximity without orchestra prices.
- MEZZANINE Row F ($118): Premium balcony position with the best upper-level acoustics. Center-aligned for balanced viewing of all stage elements.
Sweet Spot Seating (Good Availability & Price)
- ORCHESTRA Row X ($120): Rear orchestra still provides clear views of puppets and costumes. Easy aisle access for bathroom breaks with kids.
- AMPHITHEATRE Row F ($133): Slightly upgraded version of the $110 tickets - same great section with better row availability for larger groups.
Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)
- ORCHESTRA Rows W/R ($272-$296): Mid-orchestra seats offer immersive experience but at 2.5x balcony prices. Only worth it if you want ultra-close puppet interaction.
- MEZZANINE Row F ($166): Same location as $118 tickets but with quantity restrictions - only buy if you need exactly 4 seats together.
Premium & Last-Minute Options
- ORCHESTRA Rows L ($369): Front orchestra puts you within 20 feet of the performers. Elmo might literally high-five your child from these seats.
- Side Orchestra (Left/Right): $272-$369 seats have slightly angled views but incredible proximity. Best for older kids who can focus forward.
View Differences by Section
- Balcony: Bird's-eye view shows entire stage patterns - great for big dance numbers. Some young kids may prefer being higher up.
- Amphitheatre: Goldilocks zone - close enough to see facial expressions but elevated for overall perspective.
- Orchestra: See every puppet detail and costume texture. Front rows may require some neck craning during ensemble scenes.
Family Recommendations
- For toddlers: Balcony Row F - higher vantage point helps them see over heads, and the $108 price is forgiving if you need to leave early.
- For school-age kids: Amphitheatre Row F - engages them with closer views while keeping costs reasonable.
- For superfans: ORCH Row W/R - close enough for possible character interaction without the very front row premium.
- For large groups: The $108 Balcony or $110 Amphitheatre tickets offer the best quantity/price ratio for 6+ seats.
Pro Tips
- Rows further back in orchestra (X) often have better elevation than front orchestra for seeing over puppeteers.
- Amphitheatre center seats provide the most balanced audio mix for musical numbers.
- Consider side orchestra only if saving $100+ over center - the stage is wide enough to compensate for angles.
