View Differences by Section

• Orchestra Front (Rows A-D): Close-up actor interactions but may require slight neck tilt for flying scenes
• Orchestra Mid (Rows E-J): Perfect sightlines to both stage and flying effects (Dorothy's house, witch's castle)
• Orchestra Rear (Rows K-P): Full stage view with excellent value - best for appreciating large ensemble numbers
• Mezzanine: Superior view of choreography patterns but less intimate for character moments

Premium Options

• VIP Packages: Includes program, lounge access, and sometimes meet-and-greet with cast (check theater website)
• Center Orchestra Rows A-C: For ultimate immersion in the story (prices typically $200+)

Last-Minute Strategies

• Check for day-of-show releases of held production seats
• Single tickets often become available between 48-24 hours before curtain
• Weeknight performances (Tue-Thu) typically have better last-minute availability

Our Top Picks for Wizard of Oz

• Best Overall: ORCHESTRA Row F (center sections) - balances price and perfect view of all stage magic
• Budget Choice: ORCH Row M - only $2 less than Row F but further back (great for families)
• Premium Experience: Front Mezzanine Row A center - breathtaking overview of all set transformations

Pro Tip: For this production, center sections are particularly valuable due to the flying effects and lateral stage movements during tornado and witch scenes. Avoid far side sections if possible.
