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

BART: 19th St/Oakland station, 1 block
