The Outsiders at Bernard B. Jacobs Theater – Best Seats & Ticket Deals

Expert Guide to Finding the Perfect Seats for "The Outsiders" on Broadway

The Bernard B. Jacobs Theater offers an intimate Broadway experience with 1,100 seats across three levels. For "The Outsiders," we've analyzed every section to help you find the ideal balance of view quality and price. Here's our professional breakdown of the best options currently available:

Best Value Tickets (Under $200)

• Rear Mezzanine Right, Row J ($171): Solid side view at the lowest price point. Best for budget-conscious viewers who don't mind being slightly off-center.
• Rear Mezzanine Right, Row H ($176): Same section but 2 rows closer than Row J, offering marginally better sightlines.
• Rear Mezzanine Right, Row G ($187): Front of the rear mezzanine with good elevation to see all stage action clearly.

Sweet Spot Seats (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Orchestra, Row C ($209): Exceptional proximity to the stage at a reasonable price. You'll see facial expressions clearly from this prime location.
• Mezzanine, Row B ($212-215): Center mezzanine provides the ideal elevated perspective many prefer for musicals. Perfect for taking in the full stage picture.
• Rear Mezzanine Center, Row K ($220): Dead-center view from the back of mezzanine. Further back but perfectly aligned with the stage.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Locations)

• Front Mezzanine Left/Right, Rows C-D ($244-278): Closest mezzanine seats with excellent angled views. Particularly good for dance-heavy numbers.
• Orchestra Center, Rows G-K ($637-645): The coveted "golden zone" - about 10 rows back in the center where sound and sightlines are perfected balanced.
• Orchestra Front, Rows A-C ($691-804): For those who want to be in the first few rows. Warning: may require some neck craning for full stage view.

View Comparison by Section

• Orchestra: Rows A-J are ideal for seeing facial expressions. Rows K-P offer better full-stage perspective. Side sections (Left/Right) have slightly angled views.
• Front Mezzanine: About 15-20° elevation provides excellent overview of choreography. Center sections are best, with sides still offering good views.
• Rear Mezzanine: Higher elevation (about 30°) means you'll see over heads easily but lose some facial detail. Center sections maintain perfect alignment.
• Boxes: Only 1 available at $252 - intimate experience but extremely angled view best for solo attendees.

Professional Recommendations

• For budget buyers: The Rear Mezzanine Right at $171 is the theater's best bargain. While not center, the view remains good for the price.
• For best overall value: Orchestra Row C at $209 provides near-premium experience at mid-range pricing.
• For groups: Rear Mezzanine Center Row K has 8 seats together at $220 each - rare to find this many center seats available together.
• For premium experience: Orchestra Center Row G-H ($637) offers the perfect blend of proximity and perspective that Broadway regulars prefer.
