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.

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.
