Seating Insights & Recommendations

• Balcony vs Orchestra: The balcony provides excellent overhead views of dance numbers (ideal for "76 Trombones"), while orchestra seats offer closer actor expressions.
• Row A Warning: First-row orchestra may require slight neck tilt for full stage view due to proximity.
• Best Sound: Center seats in rows G-K (balcony) and B-D (orchestra) offer optimal acoustics.
• Group Tip: The $105 balcony block (Row K) offers 8 contiguous seats—rare for this intimate venue.

Premium/Last-Minute Options

• Balcony Row B ($129) - Last remaining front-center balcony pairs
• Orchestra Row L ($143) - Side-section premium seats (4 tickets)

View Comparison

• Balcony Rows A-G: Elevated perspective perfect for appreciating Harold Hill's conductor choreography
• Orchestra Rows A-B: See facial expressions during "Trouble" and "Till There Was You"
• Side Sections: Slightly angled views but often with faster aisle access

Pro Tips

• The Argyle's compact size means even "last row" seats are closer than most theaters
• Consider balcony for matinees (natural light enhances the vintage atmosphere)
• Orchestra center seats have best interaction during "Shipoopi" dance numbers
