Expert Recommendations for "Othello" at Barrymore Theatre
Discover the best seats and ticket values for Shakespeare's Othello at this historic Broadway theater. Below is our curated guide to help you choose between budget-friendly options, premium views, and the famous Barrymore Theatre "sweet spots."
Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)
- RIGHT REAR MEZZ Row D ($625): Excellent value with minimal viewing obstructions. The Barrymore's steep mezzanine design ensures clear stage views even from rear sections.
- CENTER REAR MEZZ Row A ($1041): Center alignment provides perfect symmetry for the stage. Front row of rear mezz eliminates any forward sightline issues.
Sweet Spot Recommendations (Best Availability & Premium Experience)

- ORCH CENTER Row P ($1188): Deeper orchestra but with perfect head-on alignment. Barrymore's shallow orchestra means even row P feels close (only 22 rows total).
Higher Tier Options (Premium Locations)
- Orchestra Sides Rows J-N ($1086-1106): Closer proximity but with slight angular views. Ideal for seeing facial expressions while sacrificing some staging depth.
View Comparison Guide
