Belasco Theatre Seating Guide for "Maybe Happy Ending"

Best Value Tickets (Under $130)

• Balcony Rows E-F ($100-$124): Great budget option with decent side views. Front balcony (Row E) offers better sightlines than rear (Row F).
• Orchestra Row L ($100): Rare orchestra deal - though rear orchestra, the Belasco's intimate size means no terrible seats.
• Balcony Center Row C ($130): Best value for center views - elevated but perfectly angled toward stage.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($130-$180)

• Mezzanine Rows G-H ($140-$178): The Belasco's mezzanine is famously well-designed. Row G offers perfect elevation with full stage visibility.
• Balcony Front Rows A-D ($131-$175): Center sections (BALCC) provide the best balcony experience. Avoid far side seats in left/right sections.
• Orchestra Rows N-P ($159-$188): Mid-rear orchestra with surprisingly good views. Left/Right sections are slightly angled but unobstructed.

Premium Seating ($180-$300)

• Front Mezzanine Rows D-F ($198-$257): The "golden triangle" - center mezzanine rows D-F are considered the house's best seats.
• Center Orchestra Rows J-Q ($221-$260): True Broadway premium seating. Rows J-M are ideal - close enough for facial expressions but with full stage view.
• Orchestra Sides Rows H-K ($278-$287): Excellent close-up views though slightly angled. Perfect for actor-focused performances.

VIP/Last-Minute Options ($300+)

• Front Orchestra Rows A-C ($233-$352): On-stage proximity (may require looking up slightly). Row B center is the house's traditional "star seat".
• Mezzanine Box Seats ($281-$415): Private experience with unique angled views. Front boxes (A-B) feel like having a private balcony.
• Center Orchestra Rows G-H ($317-$405): The Belasco's famous "sweetheart" seats - perfect sightlines and actor eye-contact distance.

View Considerations

• Balcony: Rows A-C feel surprisingly close. The Belasco's steep pitch means no head obstruction. Center sections have best sightlines.
• Mezzanine: The theater's strongest section. Even side seats have good angles. Avoid far right/left in front rows (partial view).
• Orchestra: Rows A-K see full stage floor work. Beyond Row M, some overhead lighting may slightly obscure top of set pieces.

For "Maybe Happy Ending" Specifically

• This musical's two-person cast benefits from closer seats (Mezzanine D-G or Orchestra H-M) to appreciate subtle performances
• The intimate staging means even balcony seats won't miss key moments
• Consider left orchestra/mezzanine seats as the piano is stage right

Best Overall Choices

• Budget Pick: Balcony Center Row C ($130) - unbeatable value
• Mid-Range: Mezzanine Center Row G ($169) - perfection
• Splurge: Orchestra Center Row J ($302) - Broadway magic
