Best seats at Ogunquit Playhouse
Center orchestra rows from about row F to L give the best view of the full stage in this intimate house. The loge front offers a slightly raised head-on sightline that some prefer for musicals with big choreography.
Tips before you go
The playhouse runs a summer season, so check dates before planning a coastal trip around a show. Parking is tight in busy Ogunquit, so arrive early or use the town trolley that loops past the theater from the village and beach.
How to read the Ogunquit Playhouse seating chart
Start with the shape of the room: 750 seats on stacked levels facing the stage, split into 6 sections — Orchestra, Orchestra rear, Loge, Balcony, Box seats, and ADA seating. Your ticket names exactly one of them, and that name is worth reading twice, because neighboring sections can differ by a full level, a price tier, or which side of the room you face from.
Three things decide a Ogunquit Playhouse seat: how far from the stage you are, whether you sit center or off toward a side aisle, and which level you're on. Two sections apart — say ADA seating and Orchestra — can put you a level higher, a price tier over, or on the far side of the Ogunquit venue, so which one is the value sweet spot comes down to the event and your budget; the best-seats notes above call it for Ogunquit Playhouse. Match your ticket to the official Ogunquit Playhouse map — section, row, and seat — before you buy.
Sizewise, Ogunquit Playhouse holds 750, which puts it 3rd of 3 Maine venues in this guide: it's the most intimate of the set — Merrill Auditorium (1,900) is the next step up.
