• Center Mezzanine: You can grab the seats in the front, or towards the aisle, for unbeatable views.

Orchestra

• 790 seats
• Rows A-ZZ

The Orchestra is the largest section in the theatre, spread across left, right and center sections. Center seats (D-G) are the gold standard for clear, unobstructed views. Aim for these if your budget allows, as the front rows (A-C) might feel close, and further back (U-ZZ) could have sightline issues. Left & Right Orchestra offer angled views (especially on the ends) but are budget-friendly. Accessibility is a breeze - designated wheelchair & companion seating await in the Left Orchestra, near the accessible restroom and stair lift!

Mezzanine

• 485 seats
• Rows A-Q

The Mezzanine is divided into left, right and center sections, following the Orchestra. It offers a fantastic alternative to the Orchestra, with expansive sightlines and a comfortable elevation, especially in the center sections (avoid the far sides for a better view). While some might prefer the distance and height over Orchestra seats past row U (watch out for the overhang!), the best seats are arguably in the front row of the Center Mezzanine - unbeatable elevated views at a generally lower price than Orchestra (except for premium A & B rows). However, there's no wheelchair access and the Mezzanine is stairs only.
