Get Orpheum Sf Seating Chart

Stalls. Stall seats are on the ground level of the theatre. These seats may be regarded as the best seats in the house as they offer patrons the chance to be closest to the action, especially if you are sitting in the front rows of the theatre.

Orchestra Section Considered the best tickets in the house, these seats are on the main level of the theatre and offer the closest seating to the stage. The Orchestra is usually divided into 3 sections with a left and right aisle (though this can vary from theatre to theatre).

There are two areas of a theatre that are considered mezzanine seating. Theatre mezzanine seats are all of the seats in the first balcony. These seats traditionally overhang approximately the first 12 rows of the orchestra seats. Also, the first row of any balcony seats is considered mezzanine seats.

Amongst all the three sections, the orchestra has some of the best seats in the theatre. The middle seats (105-109) in the middle of rows (B to H) offer a great, direct look at the stage without any obstructions. For people who would rather not be that close to the stage, there are the elevated front mezzanine seats.

Mezzanine seating can offer a more panoramic view and, if you're in the first row or two, you'll often be closer to the stage than you would have been in the orchestra. ... Always check to see if the theater has both a mezzanine and a balcony. If so, the balcony will be higher and farther away.

Balcony Seating Rows A and B offer the best views, although even here patrons may need to lean forward to gain a full viewpoint of the stage. The center portions of C through F are also acceptable. Purchasers of Hamilton tickets for anything past G run the risk of having their view blocked further by support poles.

The word "balcony" has a certain nose-bleed connotation, and ticket buyers are less spooked by the word "mezzanine." Front mezzanine seats are usually as good as orchestra seats, sometimes better, depending on the show. For a show with a visual sweep or intricate choreography, you might be better off in the mezzanine.
