Known for its excellent acoustics and elegant design, this theater ensures memorable experiences—if you pick the right seat. Here’s how to navigate its seating chart for the best views and value.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Plays: Front Mezzanine (Rows A–B) to catch facial expressions.

Seat View Tips

• Avoid under-balcony seats in Rear Mezzanine—limited overhead visibility.
• Side Orchestra seats near aisles (e.g., Rows K–M, Seats 1–5) offer good value with minimal obstruction.

VIP & Accessibility

• Premium Seats: Center Orchestra Rows E–G include VIP lounge access.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in Orchestra and Mezzanine with companion seats.

Pro Tips

For budget shoppers, aim for mid-side Mezzanine or rear Orchestra. Splurge on Front Mezzanine for a perfect balance of price and view. Check the theater’s website for 3D seat previews before booking!
