Where to sit
Best overall
Orchestra center, roughly rows 5–15 — close without craning.
Best value
Front mezzanine: the overhang view of the full stage often beats rear orchestra at a lower price.
Skip if picky
Far side seats in wide theaters can clip the near wing of the stage.
Balcony
Fine for music-forward shows; bring the opera glasses for drama.
Getting there
Seattle Center Monorail from Westlake
