Vivian Beaumont Theatre Seating Guide for "Floyd Collins"

Expert Tips to Find the Best Seats at Lincoln Center

The Vivian Beaumont Theatre's thrust stage creates unique sightlines where closer doesn't always mean better. Based on current availability for "Floyd Collins," here's how to maximize your Broadway experience at every price point.

Best Value Tickets (Under $150)

• LOGE RIGHT Row E ($88): Steeply angled but unobstructed side view. Best for budget-conscious attendees who don't mind slight neck turns.
• LOGE LEFT Row C ($117): Closer aisle seats with good elevation - avoids the "head tilt" problem of front orchestra.
• RIGHT CENTER ORCH Row B ($131): Rare orchestra deal! Knee space may be tight but delivers intimate actor proximity.

Sweet Spot Seats (Best Balance of Price & View)

• LOGE CENTER Row C ($147): The architectural sweet spot - centered with perfect vertical sightlines over stage lip.
• Loge Left/Right Side Rows A-B ($139-149): Front loge avoids overhang with only slight side angle. Ideal for detail-oriented viewers.
• CENTER ORCHESTRA Row C ($157): Shallow rake means these feel closer than their row suggests. Watch for tall patrons ahead.

Premium View Considerations

• LOGE LEFT/RIGHT CENTER Rows B-C ($195-197): The "golden triangle" - combines proximity, centrality, and comfortable viewing angle.
• ORCHESTRA CENTER Rows J-P ($158-430): Rows J-M offer best depth perception. Beyond Row N, you'll want opera glasses for facial expressions.
• Loge Center Row A ($284+): The VIP loge experience - feels like a private box with perfect sightlines down to the stage floor.

View Alert: Sections to Approach Carefully

• ORCHESTRA Rows P ($200+): Under balcony overhang - can feel cavernous with slightly muffled acoustics.
• Far Left/Right Orchestra: Extreme angles may miss some staging designed for center sightlines.
• Front Orchestra Rows A-C: Requires looking up at this thrust stage - not ideal for neck issues.

Smart Buying Tips

• Loge center seats in Rows B-E deliver 90% of the view at 60% of front orchestra prices
• Pair side loge seats (like LOGE RIGHT E at $88) with binoculars for surprising value
• For groups of 4+, the LOGE LEFT Row C block ($117/ticket) offers exceptional group value
• Last-minute seekers: Watch for ORCHESTRA CENTER drops day-of-show
