Seats in the Center Orchestra and along the aisles offer some of the best views in the house. Particularly, seats 105-110 in Rows B-L in Center Orchestra and seats 1-8 in Rows B-O in Left and Right Orchestra give you clear, unobstructed views of the stage.
The Orchestra section has wheelchair-accessible, transfer, and companion seats along with step-free and level access. While the to Mezzanines also have transfer seats, neither is accessible for wheelchair users since the only way up is a staircase.
Seats in the Front and Rear Mezzanine are cheaper than the Orchestra. For the best views from these sections, opt for seats closer to the Center and in the front rows. If you're on a tight budget, you can try seats in the rear rows and toward the sides. While these might endure some sightline restrictions, you can still get some decent views for most shows.
The Orchestra is the largest section with 759 seats. It is further divided into Left, Right, and Center Orchestra sections. This section is the best if you prefer to view your theater performances up close. It's the place to be for smaller shows, especially dramas, as these are often character and performance-driven. The section is also totally accessible for patrons with varying mobility needs.
There are two raked and elevated sections in this theater, the Front and the Rear Mezzanine. These are sometimes called the Mezzanine and Balcony, respectively. The Front Mezzanine has 283 seats and 20 more in two Boxes, while the Rear has 377 seats. These sections offer you a vantage point from which to view the performance which is useful for large productions with ensemble casts, such as musicals. You get to see more of the stage, including set designs and props, while avoiding the premium rates of the Orchestra. Unfortunately, these sections aren't recommended for wheelchair-users or patrons with specific accessibility needs, as they're only reachable via stairs.
