Best Value Tickets ($140-$170)

• Mezzanine Rear Rows F-J: Excellent angled views of the full stage (especially Rows F-H) at 30% less than front mezzanine. Sections are well-elevated with minimal obstruction.
• Top Picks:
  • Mezzanine Rear Right Row H ($140) - Center-right perspective ideal for Hadestown's circular staging
  • Mezzanine Rear Left Row G ($146) - Closer aisle access with same sightlines

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price) ($170-$210)

• Front Mezzanine Rows B-E: Directly facing the stage with perfect vertical sightlines to appreciate the multi-level set design.
• Orchestra Rear Rows P-S: Surprisingly good legroom and acoustics. Avoid extreme sides past Seat 15.
• Best Balanced Choice: Mezzanine Front Right Row D ($170) - Elevated view captures all stage machinery effects

Higher Tier Options ($210-$340)

• Orchestra Center Rear Rows L-Q: Immersive ground-level experience with full view of the rotating stage.
• Front Mezzanine Center: Row E ($256) offers the theatre's iconic "sweet spot" vantage point.
• Watch For: ORCHESTRA LEFT Row N ($235) - Side view but excellent proximity to actor entrances

Premium & Last-Minute ($340+)

• Orchestra Center Rows G-M: Unparalleled closeness to the performers (Rows J-M ideal for seeing facial expressions).
• Mezzanine Front Center: Rows A-C ($343) provide museum-quality views of the intricate lighting design.
• Splurge-Worthy: ORCHESTRA CENTER Row J ($1108) - Prime position for the show's most intimate moments

View Differences by Section

• Orchestra Front: See sweat and subtle expressions but may miss some overhead effects
• Mezzanine Front: Perfect perspective for appreciating the full vertical set (critical for Hadestown's elevator effects)
• Rear Mezzanine: Slight distance enhances the musical's atmospheric lighting
• Side Sections: Left side (house right) offers better views of Persephone's key scenes

• Date night: Orchestra Rear Center Row Q ($256) - comfortable legroom with romantic sightlines
• Theatre enthusiasts: Mezzanine Front Center Row C ($343) - academic view of staging techniques
