This varies from one individual to another, but we will give you some examples of previous customers:

Anthony likes to be a part of the action, and doesn’t mind a little attention and thrill now and then, so he chooses the seats in the Immersive section, knowing he may have to shift his body or neck to follow certain bits of action from time to time. Premium Immersive are the best seats in the house with the clearest most direct views.

The Forward View seats allows one to stay close to the action without being in the action. Nellie prefers this location because she can watch the show unfold in the three rows directly adjacent to the counters in the immersive section. This is the best way to see the show with little to no twisting or turning.

Benjamin prefers the Upstairs section for the most traditional theater experience and an overview of the entire production with a great view from above. It also provides a direct forward view of the production.

Twisting View seats are located in the center of the action of the production. However, because we mimic the seating of an actual pie shop, these seats orient audience members away from the optimal view, and one must reposition oneself to see much of the staging. We have designed our banquette benches to comfortably accommodate this shift.

Some audience members love the experience of being in the middle of the action, which can be more thrilling, especially for the lower price. But other audience members don’t like the discomfort of having to frequently turn one’s view or position.

Partial View seating locations are in the second row (BB) of our Upstairs and have visual obstructions during certain moments of the performance.

As of July, 2017, we have improved the visibility of the sightlines and improved audience experience in this section by removing a pie shop shelf in the front row of the Upstairs.  Having done so, this creates better sightlines for viewers in both rows of the Upstairs.  However, it still does have some visual obstructions.

Instead of a traditional theater layout, our production of SWEENEY TODD is set inside a 360-degree re-creation of Harrington’s.  While there is no formal audience participation, the four center tables are particularly close to the staging.  Most of the action of the play takes place on and around the shop’s service counter and these tables.

Our Immersive section includes the four tables and two counters closest to the Service Counter.  The immersive nature of the show means that if you’re sitting at any of these tables or counters, the action happens all around you.  You may have to twist or turn your head from time to time.

If you’d prefer to watch the show facing straight ahead, we suggest our Forward View seats.

Lower price seats are available in our Twisting View and Partial View locations.

All of the seats are cushioned and have backs, most are banquette-style seating.  Seats in Rows A, F and J are slightly taller chairs for better viewing, and have footrests.
