Vivian Beaumont Theatre | "Floyd Collins" Seating Guide & Best Ticket Values

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views at Lincoln Center

The Vivian Beaumont Theatre's unique thrust stage offers intimate sightlines from nearly every seat, but strategic selection can dramatically enhance your experience of "Floyd Collins." Here's our curated guide to maximizing value at this Broadway gem.

💰 Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• Loge Side Rows D-E ($83-$97): Surprisingly good side angles with full stage visibility. The slight curve of the Beaumont's loge means you're actually facing the stage more directly than in traditional side seats.
• Why Choose: Rows D-E maintain perfect elevation - high enough to see over actors but low enough to catch facial expressions. The $83 Loge Side seats deliver 90% of the experience at 40% of premium prices.

🎯 Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Loge Center Rows C-E ($147-$185): The theater's hidden gems. Center alignment avoids any sightline issues while providing the ideal vertical distance to appreciate the full stage picture.
• Pro Tip: Row C at $147 is our top recommendation - you'll be close enough to see sweat on brows during intense scenes while saving $100+ over front loge.

👑 Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

• Orchestra Center Rows B-P ($200-$430): The Beaumont's shallow pitch means even Row P feels close. Center Orchestra B at $274 offers arguably the best sightlines in the house.
• Loge Front Rows A-B ($149-$284): For those who prefer elevation, front loge delivers a director's-eye view. Left/Loge Center Row A at $284 provides stunning overhead perspectives.

⚠️ Section Comparison Highlights

• Loge Left vs Right: For "Floyd Collins," the left loge (sections 1-3) may have slight advantages for key cave scenes staged house-left.
• Orchestra Note: Rows A-C can feel too close for this production - you'll be looking up at the cave set. Rows G-P provide better vertical sightlines.
• Side Orchestra: The $339 side orchestra seats (Rows C-F) offer surprising value with only minor obstructions during extreme stage-left/right action.

💎 Last-Minute & Premium Picks

• ORCHESTRA CENTER Row P ($430): For perfectionists - dead-center and far enough back to take in the full cavern set design.
• Loge Center Row A ($362): The "balcony box" experience with private-feeling sightlines down into the cave.
