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

Expert Tips for Choosing the Best Seats at Westside Theatre Upstairs

The intimate 270-seat Westside Theatre Upstairs offers excellent views from nearly every section, but strategic seat selection can enhance your Little Shop of Horrors experience. Below is our curated breakdown of current ticket options with insights on value, sightlines, and recommendations.

Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)

• Orchestra Right Row L @ $116 - Front-side section with only 12 rows total. Row L is 8th row with excellent elevation and full stage visibility despite being side-oriented. Best deal for budget-conscious viewers.
• Orchestra Left Row M @ $136 - Mirror of the Right L seats. The slight price increase reflects slightly better sightlines to key stage-left action in this production.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• Orchestra Center Row S @ $158 - Mid-theater center with perfect head-on perspective. Row S is elevated enough to see over taller patrons while maintaining intimacy.
• Orchestra Center Rows P/M @ $184-$189 - Premium center sections closer to the stage. Puts you within 15 feet of the actors while maintaining full-stage visibility.

Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)

• Orchestra Right Row B @ $181 - Very close but extreme side angle may require some neck craning during pivotal scenes.
• Orchestra Left Row C @ $185 - Similarly close but with partial view obstructions from stage-left props.

Premium or Last-Minute Splurges

• Orchestra Center Rows A/B @ $190-$223 - Front-and-center "golden seats" with actor eye contact and perfect detail visibility. Worth the premium for die-hard fans.

Key View Differences

• Center vs. Side Sections: Center maintains perfect sightlines throughout; side sections (especially right) may miss some upstage-left action.
• Row Elevation: Rows A-F (very close) may require looking up slightly; Rows K-S offer ideal eye-level viewing.
• Price Gradient: Every row closer than M jumps $40+ - prioritize rows L-P for best value.

Our Top Recommendations

• Budget Pick: Orchestra Right Row L @ $116 (unbeatable value)
• Best Overall: Orchestra Center Row S @ $158 (perfect balance)
• Premium Experience: Orchestra Center Row B @ $190 (front-row thrill)

Theatre Layout Note

The Westside Theatre Upstairs' steep rake ensures clear views even from rear rows. All seats are within 45 feet of the stage, making every section feel intimate. For Little Shop of Horrors, center sections provide the most balanced view of both the Skid Row set and Audrey II puppet work.
