A Guide to Seating at the Ohio Theatre
Never sure of where to sit? Here is a guide to all four seating sections at the Ohio Theatre so you can get the best seats for you and your budget.
Orchestra
Found on the first floor of the theatre, this is the section with accessible seating for wheelchair users and guests with impaired mobility. Prices are higher but vary depending on how close you are to the stage, but you get a head-on view of the show.
Loge
Found upstairs, the loge is the front section of the lowest part of the balcony separated by a railing and walkway. Providing you with a close-up view of the entire stage, prices for loge seating can be just as much or sometimes even more than the front row of the orchestra section.
Mezzanine
Can be found just a step up from the loge but just below the balcony, you are provided with an aerial view of the stage. Prices can be similar to that of the middle to back section of the orchestra seating.
Balcony
At the top of it all is the balcony seating. Here the ticket prices are often the most inexpensive, and even though you're further away, you can still see all aspects of the show and theatre.
Luckily, because the Ohio Theatre has excellent acoustics and sightlines, there really is no “bad” seat in the house. So, call up your friends and make plans to get your tickets to see Dear Evan Hansen at the Ohio Theatre.
