Special Notes for "Sunset Blvd."

This production makes excellent use of the stage's depth. Center sections (even in balcony) will provide the most complete view of the elaborate set design. For an immersive experience, we recommend seats no further back than Row M in orchestra or Row J in mezzanine.
