Smart Seating Choices for Little Shop of Horrors at Westside Theatre

Discover the best seats for this intimate off-Broadway production with our expert breakdown of Westside Theatre Upstairs' unique seating layout. From budget-friendly options to premium views, we'll help you find the perfect tickets for this cult classic musical.

Best Value Tickets (Under $160)

• Orchestra Right/Left - Row L ($131-$153): Excellent side-view seats just 12 rows back. The Westside's steep rake ensures good sightlines even from the sides. Best deal for price-conscious theatergoers.
• Orchestra Center - Row S ($190): Center section at mid-orchestra depth. Slightly more expensive but offers perfectly balanced views of the entire stage.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price Balance)

• Orchestra Center - Rows M-P ($223-$235): Premium center section seating with optimal viewing angles. Close enough to see facial expressions but far enough to take in the full stage picture.
• Center Orchestra - Row K ($236): Front-center of the rear orchestra section. The theater's intimate size means these still feel like premium seats.

Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)

• Orchestra Right/Left - Rows B-C ($248-$254): Very close to the stage but extreme side angles may cause some minor sightline issues with the far side of the stage.
• Orchestra Center - Rows B-D ($254-$287): Excellent views but priced at a premium. Only worth it if you must be in the first few rows.

Premium & Last-Minute Options

• Center Orchestra - Row A ($359): Front row center - you'll feel part of the action. Best for superfans who want the ultimate close-up experience.
• Orchestra Center - Rows K-L ($271): Great availability in prime center sections for those making last-minute decisions.

Seating Recommendations

• Budget Pick: Orchestra Right Row L at $131 - unbeatable value
• Best Overall: Orchestra Center Row M at $235 - perfect balance of price and view
• Splurge Worthy: Center Orchestra Row D at $287 - close enough to see every detail
• Avoid: Far side seats in first 3 rows - potential sightline issues not worth the premium

View Differences Key Notes

• Rows A-F: See facial expressions clearly but may need to look up slightly
• Rows G-M: Ideal vertical viewing angle - can take in whole stage comfortably
• Rows N-S: Slightly more distant but still excellent with the theater's steep rake
• Center Sections: Perfectly balanced views of all stage action
• Side Sections: May miss some detail on far opposite side of stage

Little Shop of Horrors Viewing Tips

This production makes excellent use of the intimate space. Center sections will get the best views of Audrey II's growth throughout the show. Side seats may miss some of the plant puppet's movements on the opposite side of the stage.
