Westside Theatre Upstairs | Little Shop of Horrors Seating Guide & Best Ticket Deals

Smart Seat Selection for "Little Shop of Horrors" at Westside Theatre Upstairs

This intimate off-Broadway theater offers excellent views from nearly every seat, but strategic selection can dramatically enhance your experience. Below we break down the best value options, premium choices, and seating nuances for this cult-classic musical.

Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)

• Orchestra Right Row L @ $159 - Exceptional value with only slight side-angle viewing. Rows K-M offer perfect elevation to see puppet work without neck strain.
• Orchestra Left Row M @ $184 - Mirror image of the Right L deal. At this height, you'll catch all the Audrey II action while saving $100+ over center sections.

Sweet Spot (Premium Views at Mid-Range Prices)

• Orchestra Center Row S @ $221 - Back center might sound far, but in this 299-seat venue, you're still just 45 feet from the stage with perfect sightlines to all key set pieces.
• Orchestra Center Rows M/P @ $254 - The theatrical "golden zone" where you can see actors' expressions while taking in the full set design. Row P has slightly better rake than M.

Higher Tier Options (When Budget Allows)

• Orchestra Center Rows K/L @ $287 - Front-center magic with immersive proximity to the plant effects. Row L has a slight edge over K for viewing the overhead puppetry.
• Orchestra Center Row E @ $319 - Ultra-close experience where you'll feel part of Skid Row. Perfect for spotting intricate puppet mechanics if that's your interest.

View Considerations

• Side Sections: Orchestra Right/Left have minimal obstruction (just occasional profile views) until you reach the first 3 rows. Rows B/C may require some head turning.
• Vertical Sightlines: Rows E-K can feel slightly low for the plant's upper vines. Rows L-S provide better vertical sightlines for the full puppet.
• Audio Sweet Spot: Center sections Rows J-P receive the most balanced sound mix in this intimate space.

Pro Recommendations

• For budget-conscious fans: The $159 Orchestra Right L tickets offer 90% of the experience at 50% of top-tier prices.
• For special occasions: Splurge on Center Row E to see the plant mechanisms up close - these often sell out first.
• For groups: The 6-seat blocks in Center S or M allow everyone to sit together with excellent views.
• Note: All prices are before fees - the $184 Left M tickets typically have $20-30 lower total fees than center sections.

Why These Seats Matter for Little Shop

This production's intimate scale means Audrey II's growth sequences play differently across sections. Center seats watch the plant grow "toward" them, while side sections appreciate the depth of the carnivorous transformations. Our picks balance budget with these unique viewing experiences.
