Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)

• Balcony Left/Right Row W ($192): Upper level side views. While priced higher, these seats offer a great overall perspective of the stage's depth and lighting design.

View Comparison & Recommendations

• Floor vs. Parterre: Floor seats (Rows U-Z) put you closer to the stage but may require looking slightly upward. Parterre offers a more elevated, straight-on perspective.
• Balcony Considerations: While higher up, the balcony provides excellent overall views of the complex choreography - ideal for first-time viewers.
• Premium Seats: The $500+ options are best for special occasions, offering either center orchestra proximity or exclusive box seating.

Our Top Pick

For most attendees, the Floor Rows U-S at $110 offer the best balance of price and viewing experience. If budget allows, splurge on Parterre Row Z ($121) for enhanced elevation without breaking the bank.
