Stalls

The front-most section of the auditorium is the Stalls. It is right in front of the stage, offering the most immersive experience of the theater’s three sections. The Stalls are split into the Front and Rear subsections, with the views from the Front Stalls being the best in the house. Rows DD-AA are closest to the stage, but the views from Rows A and B are better for a more comfortable viewing experience and clear views of the entire stage. Rows O-W make up the Rear Stalls, and while not as immersive, are generally more affordable.

Balcony 1

The second section is an elevated and raked balcony that sits behind the Stalls and curves around it in a horseshoe shape. Views from the middle of Rows K and L are great for larger productions that tend to use the entire stage. Seats in the rear and along the sides are more affordable, since they may not offer views as clear as the middle, but they still allow a decent view of the performance.

Balcony 2

An elevated and raked section sitting right above Balcony 1, Balcony 2 is quite far from the stage and not the most popular among theatergoers. Nonetheless, it can still offer decent views of the stage, particularly from the middle of Row J, and usually has the cheapest seats in the theater.

Which seats would offer me the best views?


Rows A and B of the Stalls give you a clear view of the whole stage and are close enough to let you see the most intricate details of the performance. Rows K and L of Balcony 1 also offer decent views, particularly for larger productions like musicals with ensemble numbers.

Which seats would offer me the best value for money?


Seats in Balcony 1 are a great balance between views and affordability. If you’re after a great bargain, though, you’ll find the Balcony 2 seats to your liking..
