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

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views at Westside Theatre Upstairs

Discover the perfect seats for "Little Shop of Horrors" at this intimate off-Broadway venue. Our seating guide highlights the best value tickets, premium options, and hidden gems in this uniquely configured theater.

Best Value Tickets (Under $160)

• Orchestra Right/Left Row L ($131-$153): Excellent side-view seats with minimal obstruction. The Westside Theatre's intimate size means even side sections offer great sightlines to the carnivorous plant action.
• Orchestra Center Row S ($190): Mid-rear center section provides balanced views of the full Skid Row set design. Best center-section value.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Orchestra Center Rows M-P ($223-$235): The theatrical "golden zone" - close enough to see facial expressions but far enough to take in the full stage picture. Perfect for appreciating the puppetry work.
• Center Orchestra Row K ($236): Front-center of the elevated rear section gives a slight vantage over rows A-J while maintaining intimacy.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

• Orchestra Right Row B ($248): Very close to Seymour's flower shop counter - you'll feel part of the action. May require slight head turns.
• Center Orchestra Rows B-G ($249-$254): Prime center sections with immersive views of Audrey II's growth. Row B puts you nearly at stage level.

Premium & Last-Minute Splurges

• Orchestra Center Rows D/K/L ($271-$287): Center-loaded seating with perfect sightlines to all key stage areas. Ideal for devoted fans.
• Center Orchestra Row A ($359): Front row experience where you can see every detail of the puppeteering magic. Prepare for occasional plant "spray".

Seating Considerations

• Side Sections: At Westside Upstairs, side views are remarkably good. Rows K-M in Orchestra Right/Left offer tremendous value.
• Row Depth: Rows A-J are on the main level, while K-S are on a slight rake - consider this if you're concerned about sightlines.
• Stage Height: The stage is relatively low, making front rows (A-C) particularly immersive but requiring slightly upward viewing.

Our Top Recommendations

• Budget-Conscious: Orchestra Right Row L at $131 (best deal in the house)
• Best Overall Value: Orchestra Center Row M at $235 (perfect balance of price and view)
• Premium Experience: Center Orchestra Row D at $287 (center section, close but not too close)
• Ultimate Splurge: Center Orchestra Row A ($359 for front-row immersion with the man-eating plant)

Little Shop Viewing Tips

For this production, center-left seats (audience perspective) offer slightly better views of Seymour's work area and the iconic "Suddenly Seymour" number. However, the Westside's intimate 299-seat configuration means there are truly no bad seats for this off-Broadway gem.
