The short version
Audience interaction is a feature of the show — the actor calls out numbered items to the audience, and a few people are asked to take small participating roles. Sit anywhere comfortable; sight lines matter less here than for a typical play. Centre orchestra is the premium tier for proximity to the storytelling; front mezzanine offers a clean wide view.
Section by section
Sections are ordered roughly cheapest-to-most-expensive within the house's seating tiers — but the best value isn't always the cheapest. Watch for the sweet spot.
-
Orchestra
Centre orchestra is closest to the action — and the most likely to be called on for participation. Aisle seats are the easiest exit if participation makes you uneasy.
-
Front Mezzanine
Best wide view of the audience-interaction format. Best value pick.
-
Rear Mezzanine
Cheap option, full coverage. Participation reach rarely extends this far back.
