Bernard B. Jacobs Theater | The Outsiders Seating Chart & Ticket Guide

Expert Tips for Finding the Best Seats at the Best Prices

Discover the ideal seats for "The Outsiders" at Broadway's intimate Bernard B. Jacobs Theater (capacity: 1,078). This guide breaks down every section with view analysis, value recommendations, and insider tips to help you choose between Orchestra, Mezzanine, and premium seating options.

Seating Breakdown & Recommendations

✅ Best Value Tickets ($160-$180)

• Mezzanine Rows J-G: Excellent elevated views at just $160-$165. Center Mezzanine J offers particularly good sightlines to the full stage.
• Orchestra Row P: Surprisingly affordable at $177 for rear orchestra - great if you prefer floor seating.
• Rear Mezzanine Center Row K: Only $178 with minimal obstruction despite being labeled "rear".

⭐ Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price, $181-$217)

• Mezzanine Rows H-G: ($181) Perfect middle-ground - close enough for facial expressions yet high enough for full stage perspective.
• Rear Mezzanine Center Rows H-J: ($191) The first 2-3 rows of rear mezzanine often feel like front mezzanine at other theaters.
• Orchestra Rows O-P: ($201-$228) Worth the upgrade if you want closer floor seats without premium pricing.

🔝 Higher Tier Options ($238-$345)

• Front Mezzanine Rows A-D: ($245-$281) The theater's signature section - immersive "bird's eye view" perfect for dance-heavy shows.
• Orchestra Center Rows M-P: ($343-$367) Prime floor seating with ideal sightlines to all stage action.
• Orchestra Sides Rows F-K: ($238-$278) Good alternatives when center is sold out - some partial view seats.

💎 Premium & Last-Minute ($594-$883)

• Orchestra Center Rows A-C: ($594-$758) Ultimate VIP experience - so close you'll see every detail.
• Front Mezzanine Center Row A: ($883) Most expensive but arguably best seats in the house - perfect overhead perspective.

View Comparison Guide

Orchestra Section

• Rows A-H: "Actor's eye view" - see facial expressions clearly but may miss some overhead choreography
• Rows J-P: Ideal balance - take in full stage pictures while still feeling immersed
• Sides vs Center: Center commands 20-30% premium but side views are surprisingly good in this intimate theater

Mezzanine Levels

• Front Mezzanine: The "director's view" - best for appreciating full staging and dance numbers
• Rear Mezzanine: Steeper angle but still excellent sightlines - avoid far side seats which may have slight obstructions
• Overhang Note: No significant overhang issues until last 2 rows of rear mezzanine

Pro Tips

• For groups of 4+, the Rear Mezzanine Center blocks at $178-$191 offer exceptional value
• Orchestra P at $177 is the stealth best deal - same view as $200+ seats just 5 rows forward
• Front Mezzanine Row D ($281) often delivers near-Row A experience at 40% discount
• Check daily for last-minute premium seat drops - Orchestra Center sometimes releases $400 seats at $300

Ready to Secure Your Seats?

The Bernard B. Jacobs Theater's unique layout means there are excellent views at nearly every price point. For "The Outsiders", we particularly recommend the Mezzanine sections to fully appreciate the cinematic staging, though orchestra seats closer than Row M will give you powerful emotional proximity to the performers.
