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

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views at Broadway Theatre

As a Broadway seating specialist, I've analyzed every section of the theatre to help you find the perfect balance of price and view quality for "The Great Gatsby." Below are my top recommendations categorized by budget and experience level.

Best Value Tickets ($76-$95)

• Rear Mezzanine (Rows E-J): Excellent budget option with surprisingly good sightlines. Rows F-J ($76-$85) offer the best value, with only minor distance from the stage.
• Rear Mezzanine Left Row L ($88): Slight side angle but unobstructed views at a bargain price.
• Tip: Rows E-F in Rear Mezzanine are just 2-3 rows behind Front Mezzanine but often 40% cheaper.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($120-$180)

• Orchestra Center (Rows X-Y, $136-$140): Perfect middle ground - close enough to see facial expressions with excellent sound.
• Rear Mezzanine Center (Rows F-J, $157-$176): Directly facing the stage with ideal elevation to appreciate choreography.
• Orchestra Sides (Rows U-Y, $139-$146): Minimal angle distortion with significant savings over center seats.

Higher Tier Options ($190-$250)

• Front Mezzanine (Rows A-E, $195-$235): The "goldilocks zone" - elevated but not too far, with perfect viewing angles.
• Orchestra Mid-Center (Rows O-V, $225-$249): Premium sound quality and intimacy with the performers.
• Box Seats ($145): Unique angled perspective but some sightline restrictions - best for intimate duet scenes.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($280-$556)

• Front Mezzanine Center (Rows A-C, $285-$318): Unmatched overall views of the entire stage.
• Orchestra Front Center (Rows B-L, $340-$556): See every detail of costumes and sets - ideal for superfans.
• Last-Minute Tip: Check for ORCH CENTER Row J ($556) releases - these usually sell out first but sometimes reappear.

View Comparison Guide

• Orchestra vs Mezzanine: Orchestra (Rows P-Y) better for seeing facial expressions; Mezzanine better for large dance numbers.
• Row Differences: In Orchestra, rows X-Y have minimal view difference from premium rows but cost 30-50% less.
• Side Sections: Left/Right Orchestra up to Row Y maintains good angles; beyond that opt for center sections.

Special Recommendations

• For Groups (5+): RMEZZ Rows F-J have multiple $76-$85 tickets available together.
• Romantic Experience: Box Seats ($145) offer intimate atmosphere despite partial view limitations.
• Best Overall Value: ORCHC Row Y ($136) - center position at near-bargain price.

Final Booking Tips

• Rear Mezzanine tickets purchased early often resell at 2x price as show date nears
• For matinees, Orchestra sides (ORCHO) often drop to $120 range day-of
• Avoid rows AA-DD in Orchestra - these can feel too close for the grand scale of the production
