Booth Theatre | "John Proctor is the Villain" Seating Guide & Best Ticket Values

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views at Every Price Point

The intimate Booth Theatre (780 seats) offers excellent sightlines throughout, but strategic seat selection can dramatically enhance your Broadway experience. Below are my curated recommendations based on current availability and pricing for "John Proctor is the Villain".

Best Value Tickets ($87-$132)

• MEZZO Rows G-H ($87-$105): Center-mezzanine seats with perfect vertical sightlines to catch all stage action. Row H offers the best value at $87 - just 3 rows back from front mezzanine.
• MEZZANINE RIGHT Row H ($96): Slight angle actually improves view of upstage action. Only 4 tickets left at this price.
• MEZZC Row G ($132): True center section with minimal head movement needed. 12 tickets available makes this a group-friendly option.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price) ($137-$185)

• MEZZC Rows E-F ($161-$170): Perfect balance - close enough for facial expressions but elevated for full stage perspective. Multiple seats available.
• MEZZO Rows D-E ($165-$172): Front mezzanine at 20% discount vs orchestra. Row D is particularly strong with 9 seats available.
• ORCHO Rows M-P ($146-$170): Rear orchestra center. While further back, the Booth's shallow slope maintains excellent sightlines.

Higher Tier Options ($205-$260)

• ORCHC Rows N-AA ($205-$259): Premium orchestra center seats. Row AA sits at the magical 2/3 point in the theater - acoustically ideal.
• MEZZANINE CENTER Rows B-D ($219-$252): Front mezzanine centerline. Row B puts you at balcony rail for unobstructed view.
• ORCHO Rows C-K ($231-$238): Side orchestra but close enough for intimate connection with performers.

Premium or Last-Minute ($264-$787)

• ORCHC Row A ($264): First row center orchestra - see every subtle expression. Only 11 seats remain.
• CENTER ORCHESTRA Rows AA-BB ($271): The famous "golden triangle" seats with perfect sightlines and acoustics.
• ORCH RIGHT/LEFT Row K ($767-$787): VIP boxes offering private experience and unique angled perspective.

View Comparison

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine provides better overall stage pictures for this dialogue-heavy drama, while orchestra delivers more actor intimacy.
• Center vs Sides: Side seats beyond Seat 10 may require slight head turning. Center sections maintain perfect sightlines.
• Front Rows: First 3 rows orchestra (A-C) may require looking up slightly, while mezzanine avoids this issue.

Pro Tip

The Booth's mezzanine overhang begins at Row L orchestra - seats Rows M-P offer excellent value with only slight compromise in vertical sightlines. For "John Proctor is the Villain" which uses the full stage depth, I recommend opting for mezzanine seats in Rows B-H for the most comprehensive viewing experience.
