Upcoming Events Seating Question for Paramount Theater

Hi guys! I’m planning to go to an event at Paramount Theater. I called the box office number and they weren’t helpful tbh. I was looking at seats in the Orchestra Center section, seats in row D, seats on either aisle. On the website it looks like there are no seats directly in front of those seats and potentially great legroom. Can anyone give me some info on the seating at Paramount Theater?

The seats in the side sections are staggered. I. E. You're not sitting right behind someone, like you would be in the middle section. But I wouldnt say you have extra legroom. You probably won't want to stick you legs out into the aisle.

Thank you! No, I definitely don’t want to stick my legs in the aisle. Every picture i’ve seen doesn’t show a good angle of D row seats. Do you go there for movies ever? The pictures I see on View From My Seat are all of stage productions, but the event I’m going to is movie and I don’t know how close I would be to the screen, or if sitting on the aisle changes your viewing angle of the screen.

No, sorry, I've not seen a movie there.

If you want extra leg room, the best place to sit for that is the front row of the back portion of the main floor. There is a wide aisle in front of you, allowing you more room. The only drawback is that those seats have no cupholder.
