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

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views & Value

The Vivian Beaumont Theatre's thrust stage and steeply angled seating create excellent sightlines, but some sections offer better value than others for "Floyd Collins." Here's our breakdown of the best options at every price point:

Best Value Tickets ($80-$120)

• Loge Side Rows D-E: Surprisingly good angled views of the stage at basement prices ($83-$111). Right side (Section 2/4) has slightly better sightlines than left.
• Orchestra Rear Center (Row P): At $200, these offer dead-center views with only minor distance compromise - exceptional for musicals.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Loge Center Rows C-D ($147-$188): Elevated perspective eliminates any overhang issues while maintaining intimacy. Row C is the gold standard here.
• Orchestra Center Rows K-L ($157-$158): Perfect midline seats with ideal elevation - often 2x the price at other Broadway houses.

Premium Seating (Top-Tier Experience)

• Loge Front Center (Row A): The $284-$362 "box seats" provide a thrilling bird's-eye view - unique to this theater's design.
• Orchestra Center Front (Rows C-G): $339-$442 puts you eye-level with performers. Left Center (Section 3) avoids sound booth sightline issues.

View Considerations

• Loge Left vs Right: Right side (even-numbered sections) generally has better sightlines for stage-right action.
• Orchestra Warning: Rows A-F may require some neck craning due to the stage height - better for plays than musicals.
• Side Orchestra: Beyond Seat 10 in side sections starts losing visibility of upstage areas.

Current Best Deals (as of listing)

• 4 tickets @ $83: Loge Left Side Row E - steal for groups (Section 1)
• 2 tickets @ $135: Center Left Orchestra Row B - rare orchestra bargain
• 6 tickets @ $147: Loge Center Row C - ideal for small groups

Pro Tips

• The Loge's first 3 rows feel closer than most mezzanines due to the theater's vertical design
• Avoid extreme side Loge seats beyond Seat 8 - partial view designations apply
• Orchestra rows M-P actually offer better overall perspectives than mid-orchestra for this production

Last-Minute Options

If budget allows, the $342 Loge Center front row tickets or $389 Orchestra Center premium seats will deliver an unforgettable experience with perfect sightlines to appreciate the cave set design.
