Where to sit
Best value
Rear reserved sections — a real seat for not much more than lawn on many dates.
Best sound
Center reserved near the mix position (the sound booth) is what the engineer tunes for.
Lawn tips
Arrive early, bring a blanket; screens cover the detail. Cheapest way into a big summer show.
Weather
Reserved seats are usually under the pavilion roof; lawn is open sky.
Starlight Theatre fan tip
Broadway-series seats are the cheap way into a gorgeous venue; August nights, sit near the cooling fans.
