Riverside Theater Seating Chart

Riverside Theater Seating Chart

Many theaters have three main levels of seating – the orchestra, the mezzanine and the balcony. The Riverside is a little different because it has just two main levels, plus some boxes at the left and right of the orchestra. 

Keep in mind that some shows are General Seating, meaning that seating is first come, first served, while other performances allow you to reserve particular seats.

Now let’s look a little deeper into the 2,480 seats that are available. 

First floor

The orchestra is referred to on the theater’s seating map as the first floor. At the Riverside, it has four sections – two middle ones and two at the left and right edges. As you might expect, the orchestra will get you close to the activity on stage, so the first few rows of the orchestra are often more expensive.

Second floor

This floor is sometimes referred to as the mezzanine. Seats at the front of the mezzanine can also be highly valued, as you might see more of what’s happening than from ground level in the orchestra.

The boxes

Boxes are available above the left and right of the orchestra or first floor. These will give you a great view that’s close to the stage, but you’ll be viewing it from the side rather than facing it directly. Some people enjoy boxes because they separate you from the crowd, giving a special or VIP feeling to your seating. Remember, long ago the most stylish theatergoers sat in boxes so that everyone else could watch and admire them!

Accessibility

The Riverside Theater includes ADA accessible seating, which you can buy online, on the phone, or by stopping into the theater in person. If you’re buying online, choose “accessible seating,” and you’ll see the accessible seats indicated with a blue wheelchair icon. The theater is committed to ensuring accessibility, so talk to staff ahead of time if you need help with something or want to know how your accessible seating will work. 

How does the accessible seating work? One element is “flex seating,” which is where certain seats can be detached from the floor to make room for a wheelchair.

You can also call (414) 242-8200 or email [email protected] to request an interpreter or a hearing assistance device. However, you’ll want to do this as far ahead as possible – at least two weeks for an interpreter and two days for the hearing assistance device.

Purchasing tickets

The Riverside Theater strongly encourages patrons to buy their tickets only from its box office or through artists’ official fan clubs. If you lose your tickets or the email with your tickets, you can only get help from the box office if you bought your tickets directly from the Riverside Theater.

There are three ways to buy tickets: 

You could save a significant amount of money buying your tickets in person, as you will have to pay an approximately 17% fee on all tickets above $12 that are bought online or by phone.
