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

Expert Tips for Choosing the Best Seats at Westside Theatre

The intimate 299-seat Westside Theatre Upstairs offers excellent views from nearly every section, but strategic seat selection can enhance your Little Shop of Horrors experience. Here's our breakdown of current ticket options with visual guidance for this iconic off-Broadway production.

Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)

• Orchestra Right/Left Row L ($116-$137): Side sections but excellent sightlines to the iconic Audrey II puppet. The slight angle actually improves visibility of the plant's mechanics. Best deal for budget-conscious theatergoers.
• Orchestra Center Row S ($158): Mid-rear center position provides the classic Broadway view. Perfect balance of price and traditional staging perspective.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• Orchestra Center Rows M-P ($184-$189): Premium viewing distance where you'll catch all facial expressions without straining. These often sell out first during peak performances.
• Orchestra Right/Left Rows B-C ($181-$185): Closer side seats with immersive proximity to actor entrances/exits. Fantastic for seeing detailed puppetry work.

Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)

• Orchestra Center Rows A-B ($190-$223): While front-and-center, you may need to glance upward slightly at the plant. Only worth the premium if you prioritize absolute proximity over perfect sightline angles.

View Differences by Section

• Center Orchestra (Rows A-P): Unobstructed straight-on view of the Skid Row set. Best for appreciating full stage pictures and lighting design.
• Side Orchestra (Left/Right): Slightly angled perspective actually benefits this production - reveals backstage puppet mechanics and creates dynamic compositions.
• All Rows: Even the last row (L) is just 45 feet from stage. No truly "bad" seats in this intimate venue.

Our Top Recommendations

• For Budget Buyers: The $116 Orchestra Right Row L tickets offer tremendous value with only minimal compromise on angle.
• For Optimal Experience: Orchestra Center Row S at $158 gives you the classic Broadway view at reasonable cost.
• For Special Occasions: Splurge on Orchestra Center Row B ($190) if you want to see the actors' expressions clearly during musical numbers.

Little Shop Viewing Pro Tips

• Right side seats (when facing stage) offer better views of Seymour's plant shop counter.
• Rows E-K provide the ideal elevation to appreciate the full Audrey II puppet mechanics.
• Avoid extreme far left seats which may have slight sightline obstructions during the dentist scenes.

Current Best Availability

As of now, the $136-$137 Orchestra Left/Right Row L blocks (4 tickets each) and $158 Orchestra Center Row S (6 tickets) offer the best combination of price and viewing quality for most theatergoers.
