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

Expert Tips for the Best Seats at Westside Theatre Upstairs

The intimate 270-seat Westside Theatre Upstairs offers excellent views from nearly every seat, but strategic selection can enhance your Little Shop of Horrors experience. Here's my breakdown of current ticket options with seating recommendations:

Best Value Tickets (Under $160)

• Orchestra Right Row L ($131) - Rare bargain! Right-side angle but close to stage (12th row). Perfect for budget-conscious viewers.
• Orchestra Left/Right Rows L-M ($152-153) - Solid center-line views at mid-orchestra depth. Rows L/M are ideal for seeing facial expressions.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Orchestra Center Row S ($189) - Direct center view from 18th row. Theatrically optimal viewing distance for taking in full stage pictures.
• Orchestra Center Row P ($223) - Premium center section at slight discount. Row P is just behind the mez overhang (no view obstruction).

Higher Tier Options (Premium Locations)

• Center Orchestra Rows K-M ($235-271) - Rows K-M are the "golden zone" (7th-12th rows) with perfect eye-level stage views. Best for theater purists.
• Orchestra Center Rows B-D ($254-287) - Ultra-close immersion. Row B puts you just 6' from actors - see every detail of the puppetry.

View Considerations

• Side Sections: Orchestra Left/Right have slight angled views but no obstructed sightlines in this theater. Rows A-C may require minor head turns.
• Center Orchestra: Rows A-F (Front Center) may require looking slightly upward. Rows G-M offer perfect eye-level sightlines.
• Depth Perception: Rows K-S (7th-18th) are ideal for appreciating the full staging. Closer rows emphasize actor performances.

Premium & Last-Minute Options

• Center Orchestra Row A ($359) - Front row experience where you'll feel part of the show. Best for superfans wanting maximum immersion.
• Orchestra Right Row B ($248) - Front-side "actor's view" - see performers' entry points up close.

My Top Recommendations

• Budget Pick: Orchestra Right Row L ($131) - Unbeatable value
• Best Overall: Orchestra Center Row M ($235) - Perfect center viewing
• Premium Choice: Center Orchestra Row D ($287) - Close but comfortable
• Splash Out: Center Orchestra Row A ($359) - Ultimate front-row thrill

Pro Tips

• This intimate theater means even "rear" seats (Row S) are only 45' from stage
• Side sections actually provide fascinating views of puppet mechanics
• Rows G-K offer the best balance of proximity and full-stage perspective
• For groups of 4+, the Orchestra Left Row M ($153) blocks are ideal

The Westside Theatre Upstairs' steep rake ensures clear views throughout, so focus on choosing your preferred depth and budget. Little Shop particularly shines when you can see the actors' expressions clearly - I recommend prioritizing Rows G-M if possible.
