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 exceptional views from nearly every seat, but strategic selection can enhance your experience. Here's our expert breakdown of current ticket options for Little Shop of Horrors, with recommendations based on value, view quality, and availability.

Best Value Tickets (Under $200)

• Orchestra Right Row L ($159): Our top pick for budget-conscious theatergoers. While slightly off-center, Row L provides excellent elevation in this intimate space with only 13 rows total.
• Orchestra Left/Right Row L ($184-185): Similar value to the $159 tickets but with better side-balance. The Westside's steep rake means no view obstructions even from side sections.

Sweet Spot Seats (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Orchestra Center Row S ($221): Prime central viewing at mid-range price. Row S is 7 rows back but feels closer in this 299-seat venue. Perfect for catching all puppetry details.
• Orchestra Right Row B ($233): Front-right experience with potential for actor interaction (this production frequently breaks the fourth wall).

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

• Orchestra Left Row C ($239): Excellent sightlines to key stage-left action where Audrey II's plant mechanics are most visible.
• Orchestra Center Row P ($254): 4th row center - close enough to see facial expressions but with full-stage perspective.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats

• Orchestra Center Row D ($319): 3rd row center - immersive experience with potential for actor eye contact during musical numbers.
• Center Orchestra Row A ($359): Front row center - ultimate splurge with possible plant effects happening right in front of you.

Seating Section Breakdown

• Orchestra Center: Unmatched views of the entire stage and Audrey II's growth throughout the show. Rows A-P are all within 30 feet of the stage.
• Orchestra Sides: Slight angle but excellent proximity. Right side offers better view of Seymour's shop counter.
• Row Considerations: Rows A-F (front) may require slight neck tilt. Rows K-S (middle) provide ideal vertical sightlines to appreciate the full set design.

Expert Recommendations

• For first-time viewers: Orchestra Center Rows L-S ($221-287) offer the complete experience
• For repeat visitors wanting new perspectives: Orchestra Right Rows B-L ($159-233) reveal different staging details
• For maximum immersion: Splurge on front rows (A-D) to feel part of Skid Row
• Best budget option: The $159 Orchestra Right L seats deliver 90% of the experience at 40% less than premium seats
