Broadway Theatre | "The Great Gatsby" Seating Guide & Best Ticket Values

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views at Every Price Point

Discover the optimal seats for "The Great Gatsby" at Broadway Theatre with our detailed breakdown of sections, views, and value recommendations. Whether you're looking for budget-friendly options or premium VIP experiences, this guide will help you navigate the theatre's unique layout.

Best Value Tickets ($77-$136)

• Rear Mezzanine (Rows E-J): Excellent mid-range option with clear stage views. Rows E-G ($77-$87) offer particularly good sightlines despite being labeled "rear" - these are actually center positions in Broadway Theatre's steep mezzanine.
• Orchestra Side (Rows X-Y): Side orchestra at $136 provides closer proximity but slightly angled views. Best for those who prioritize being near the action over perfect center alignment.
• Box Seats: At $136, these offer unique, intimate perspectives though with potential partial view limitations. Box A provides the most direct angle.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price) ($168-$207)

• Mid-Orchestra (Rows H-P): The $168 tickets in Rows H-P of side orchestra sections deliver excellent value - close enough for facial expressions yet far enough for full stage comprehension.
• Front Rear Mezzanine (Rows A-F): At $176-$207, these front mezzanine rows provide the perfect balance - elevated for great sightlines but not too distant. Center sections are worth the small premium.
• Orchestra Center (Rows V-Y): $172-225 for true center views that capture the full spectacle of Gatsby's lavish production numbers.

Higher Tier Options ($242-$352)

• Front Mezzanine Center: Rows A-F ($242-311) offer arguably the best overall views in the house - elevated but close with perfect perspective on the choreography.
• Premium Orchestra (Rows A-J): $329-352 puts you in the "golden triangle" - close enough to see performers' expressions while still taking in the full stage.
• Orchestra Center (Rows K-R): $290-355 for those who must be dead-center. Rows L-O are the production team's preferred viewing location.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($393-$556)

• Front Orchestra Center (Rows D-F): At $393-402, these are true VIP seats - so close you'll feel part of Gatsby's world. Row D center is often the producer's row.
• Orchestra Center (Rows J-L): $505-556 for the ultimate experience. These prime center seats sell out first but occasionally reappear last-minute.

View Comparison & Recommendations

• Rear Mezzanine vs Orchestra: The mezzanine provides better views of complex choreography while orchestra seats offer intimacy with performers. For Gatsby's party scenes, we recommend mezzanine.
• Side Sections: Left side (house right) has slightly better views of key scenes in this production. Right side may have minor obstructed moments.
• Front Mezzanine Warning: While excellent, the very front row (A) can feel slightly too close for full stage comprehension during large ensemble numbers.

Pro Tips for Your Gatsby Experience

• For matinees, aim for left orchestra/mezzanine to avoid afternoon sun through side windows
• Groups of 4+ should consider Rear Mezzanine rows E-H where multiple seats are often available together
• Check daily for last-minute releases of premium seats at reduced prices (especially midweek)
• The $77 rear mezzanine tickets are the show's best-kept secret - nearly as good as $200+ seats
