Went here to watch a ballet with my daughter and my sister's family. While we enjoyed the ballet, it was annoying that even if we were seated at the orchestra's side (considered SVIP seats), latecomers were still allowed to arrive, thus distracting our attention. Also, despite seated in the SVIP one wouldn't be able to clearly watch the show especially if seated farther (like the E and F row) and the seats in front are all occupied. There were also children below 4 years old that were allowed inside so there were the occasional whimpers that also distracted the viewers.

Our recent visit to The Theater at Solaire to catch a performance of Miss Saigon left us with mixed feelings. Having been accustomed to the grandeur of CCP, we couldn't help but notice some significant differences that impacted our overall enjoyment. Although the performance itself was captivating, we sorely missed the opulence and elegance we've come to associate with CCP. The absence of features like the majestic staircase, spacious lobby, larger stage, luxurious powder rooms, premium orchestra seats, and iconic "Genesis" curtain by H.R. Ocampo at Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo created a somewhat subdued atmosphere at Solaire. Considering that my husband is only 5'7", and myself, at 5'. The limited legroom made it uncomfortable for us throughout the show. It seemed as though the theater had crammed in more seats in the orchestra section, resembling more of an economy-class setup. Additionally, the restroom facilities left much to be desired. Despite being seated near Door 4, the restroom had just two cubicles available, leading to long queues during intermission. Luckily, I managed to make it back in time for Act 2 after a quick restroom visit. The corridors leading to Doors 2 and 4 were cramped and the the relaxed seating policy during the performance contrasted with the stricter regulations at CCP. Unlike at CCP, where latecomers are not permitted to enter until the first act concludes, we observed ushers allowing movement even after the show had commenced. In conclusion, while The Theater at Solaire offers a modern and convenient venue for performances, it lacks some traditional charm and amenities found at CCP. However, despite these drawbacks, the outstanding performance of Miss Saigon made the overall experience worthwhile. Note: Despite the mentioned drawbacks, the captivating performance of Miss Saigon contributed positively to our overall experience at The Theater at Solaire.

Miss Saigon, row FFF in Balcony. Great show, lousy seats, do not sit in this row. FFF is an added row in the aisle between the lower and upper balcony. As such the seats are set back to allow for the aisle in front of them and have an obstructed view of the stage. This is NOT what you expect based on the seat map.
