If you're seeing a musical act whose top player is a pianist, and you want to see something besides their head, you would want to find out which side the grand piano's seat is on, so you can try for seats on that side. For musicals with a large chorus that fills the stage in some scenes, it might be possible to be too far left or right to see certain actors well. The principals will generally "hold the middle," and cross left and right at times, so any seat is fine to catch the main content. Aisle seats are convenient for you to reach and leave from, but you will be climbed over or need to get up a lot. The spacing between rows is old school here, and tight. When Diana Krall played the Saenger on June 24, there were rows of folding chairs in front of the fixed seats, which would get you closer, but have no arm rests. The left side of the theater was the best to see her the most, but of course, just being in the room to hear her and her ensemble was fantastic.

I like what used to be the mezzanine. Now it's "box seats". Almost impossible to get. I paid for a lower balcony seat and when someone doesn't show I go sit in their box seats right on the rail. Depending on the show. If you have a floor seat for a rock band it may turn into almost general admission feel with people in the aisle , on their seats etc. It IS a great venue. *BEWARE if you go on a weekend all the pay parking lots are $40 flat rate. Ouch!!

I don't think there is a bad seat. Been upper right/center/ left. No problem seeing. Been lower right and center. Again no problems.

Upper middle balcony is good and floor in the middle is usually good also
