Queen Elizabeth Theatre Venue Information

The Queen Elizabeth Theatre, designed by the Montreal-based architectural firm Affleck, Desbarats, Dimakopoulos, Lebensold, Sise, opened on July 15, 1959, as part of an international design competition. Its Modernist design, featuring an aluminum-and-glass curtain wall and concrete columns, makes it a cultural landmark in Vancouver’s downtown core. With a stage measuring 70 feet wide and 40 feet deep, the venue hosts a variety of performances, including opera, ballet, Broadway musicals, concerts, and comedy shows. Operated by Vancouver Civic Theatres, the QET includes a 668-seat Playhouse Theatre and three salons for events hosting 20 to 220 people. The venue is accessible, with elevators from the parking lot to the main lobby, Mezzanine, and Balcony, and wheelchair-accessible washrooms on the Orchestra and Mezzanine levels. A curated art gallery in the lobby showcases works by emerging artists, and amenities include a coat check ($4 per patron) and pre-orderable intermission drinks featuring local craft beers and BC wines. The theatre is conveniently located near Translink Skytrain and Canada Line stations, with bike-share options via Mobi bikes.

Queen Elizabeth Theatre Seating Chart

Queen Elizabeth Theatre Seating Options

The Queen Elizabeth Theatre’s 2,765 seats are divided into four main sections: Orchestra, Mezzanine, Dress Circle, and Balcony, each offering distinct views and experiences. All seats are cushioned, with a width of 17 inches and depth of 18 inches, ensuring comfort. Below is a detailed breakdown:

Balcony

The Balcony, located at the highest point of the theatre, provides a bird’s-eye view of the stage, ideal for budget-conscious patrons. While farther from the stage, these seats offer a full perspective of large-scale productions like ballets or Broadway shows. Balcony seats are the most affordable, with prices starting as low as $23.87 for some events. However, facial expressions may be harder to discern, and stage-right effects may be partially obscured in some seats. The Balcony is accessible via elevator, but there are no wheelchair spaces in this section.

Dress Circle

The Dress Circle, situated above the Mezzanine, offers an elevated view with a semi-private atmosphere, featuring only two rows of seats in the center sections. This section is ideal for patrons who prefer a higher vantage point with excellent sightlines, particularly for ballet performances like The Nutcracker. Seats extend to the sides of the theatre, offering slightly angled views. Pricing is moderate, typically between Balcony and Orchestra, and varies by event.

Mezzanine

The Mezzanine, located below the Dress Circle and above the Orchestra, is divided into Right, Center, and Left sections, offering a balanced view of the stage. It is a popular choice for rock concerts and Broadway shows due to its elevated yet close proximity to the stage. Wheelchair seating is available in row 34, seats 15–20 and 41–46, sometimes labeled as “WC” on Ticketmaster. Mezzanine seats provide clear visuals and acoustics, with prices generally higher than Balcony but lower than premium Orchestra seats.

Orchestra

The Orchestra, on the ground floor, is the closest seating level to the stage, divided into Right, Center, and Left sections. Center Orchestra seats, particularly rows C–15, are considered the best for an unobstructed, immersive view, ideal for detailed performances like operas or Hamilton. Right and Left Orchestra sections offer slightly angled views but remain premium due to their proximity. Wheelchair seating is available in row 25, seats 31–40 and 60–69, with adjacent companion seating. Orchestra seats are the most expensive, with prices ranging from $82.58 to $1,943.77 for high-demand events. The entire Orchestra level is wheelchair-accessible, including washrooms.

Availability and pricing vary by event, typically higher than standard tickets (e.g., $100–$500 additional for similar venues). Check Ticketmaster or contact the box office at 604-665-3050 for details on specific performances.

Where Are the Best Seats at Queen Elizabeth Theatre?

The best seats depend on the event and personal preference. For the closest and most immersive view, Center Orchestra seats in rows C–15 are ideal, offering clear visuals of performers’ facial expressions, perfect for operas or Broadway shows like Dear Evan Hansen.
