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

Smart Seat Selection for "Little Shop of Horrors" at Westside Theatre Upstairs

This intimate 299-seat off-Broadway theater offers excellent views from nearly every section, but strategic seat selection can dramatically enhance your experience. Below is our expert breakdown of current ticket options with visual guidance and price-value analysis.

Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)

• Orchestra Right/Left Row L ($116-$137): Side sections but excellent angled view of the stage. Only 12 rows back in this intimate space. The $116 tickets are particularly well-priced.
• Orchestra Center Row S ($159): True center seating about 2/3 back - perfect for taking in the full stage picture. One of the best mid-range options.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• Orchestra Center Rows M-P ($184-$190): Premium center seating at reasonable off-Broadway prices. Rows M-P are in the "golden zone" - close enough for actor expressions but far enough for full stage perspective.
• Orchestra Left/Right Rows B-C ($181-$185): Very close to stage at slight angles. Excellent for those who want proximity without center section premiums.

Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)

• Orchestra Center Row B ($190): While close, this is overpriced compared to similarly excellent Row C at $185. Minimal view improvement for the extra cost.
• Orchestra Center Row D ($223): Significant price jump from comparable seats. Only consider if you specifically want this exact row.

View Considerations

• Orchestra Center: Unobstructed straight-on view. Rows B-M are ideal for seeing facial expressions. Rows P-S still excellent with full stage view.
• Orchestra Sides: Left/Right sections have slight angles but no true "obstructed" seats in this theater. Rows A-L actually provide interesting dramatic perspectives.
• Vertical Space: With only 12 rows total, even the "back" (Row S) is just 50 feet from the stage.

Our Top Recommendations

• Budget Pick: Orchestra Right Row L at $116 - tremendous value
• Premium Experience: Orchestra Center Row P at $184 - ideal viewing position
• Group Option: Orchestra Center Row S at $159 (6 available) - great for parties
• Last Minute: Watch for price drops on the $223 seats as performance date nears

Theatre Layout Tip

The Westside Upstairs is wider than deep, meaning side seats maintain good sightlines. The stage is only 4 feet high, so no worrying about overhang obstructions in front rows.

Final Advice

For "Little Shop of Horrors," we recommend prioritizing center orchestra in rows K-P for the best balance of price and experience. The puppet work and plant effects read beautifully from these positions. Side sections work well if you want to save 20-30% with only minor viewing angle tradeoffs.
