Vivian Beaumont Theatre Seating Guide for "Floyd Collins"

Expert Tips to Find the Best Seats at the Best Prices

The Vivian Beaumont Theatre's thrust stage offers intimate views from nearly every seat, but strategic selection can dramatically enhance your experience of "Floyd Collins." Below is my curated guide to navigating the seating options, with recommendations for every budget.

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• Loge Side Rows D-E ($83-$97): Excellent angled views of the stage with minimal obstruction. Right side (Section 3) often has better availability.
• Sweet Spot: Loge Left Row D at $86 - closer than equivalent-priced Orchestra seats with superior vertical sightlines.
• Pro Tip: Rows E in side Loge often have last-minute price drops while maintaining good sightlines to the cave set.

Sweet Spot Seats ($100-$180)

• Loge Center Rows C-E ($147-$184): The theatre's hidden gem - center views with perfect elevation to appreciate the staging.
• Orchestra Left Row M ($146): Surprisingly affordable for mid-rear Orchestra with full stage visibility.
• Warning: Avoid extreme side Loge Rows A-B above $150 - you'll miss crucial cave scenes.

Premium Seating ($180-$300)

• Loge Front Center Rows A-B ($284-$342): Unparalleled vantage point to see facial expressions and cave details.
• Orchestra Center Rows B-G ($212-$442): For those who must be at stage level - wait for weekday performances when prices dip.
• Best Splurge: Loge Left Center Row A ($359) combines proximity with the ideal viewing angle for this production.

View Comparison

• Loge vs Orchestra: Loge provides better perspective for the vertical cave set (Rows C-E ideal), while Orchestra excels for intimate moments.
• Side Sections: Left side (house right) has more actor entrances/exits in this production.
• Row Depth: In Orchestra, Rows K-P avoid neck strain from the steep rake while maintaining immersion.

Current Best Deals (as of listing)

• 4 tickets in Loge Right Row E at $83 each (rare group discount)
• Single seats in Loge Left Row D at $86 (perfect for pairs)
• Last-minute Orchestra Left Row P at $200 (original $320+ seats)

Recommendations

For "Floyd Collins," prioritize vertical sightlines over pure proximity. The Loge Center sections between rows C-E offer the most balanced experience. If purchasing last-minute, check for price drops on premium Loge Center seats - ushers often upgrade empty premium seats at intermission.
