Broadway Theatre Seating Guide for "The Great Gatsby"

Best Value Tickets (Under $150)

• Rear Mezzanine (RMEZZ): Rows E-J ($89-$113) - Excellent budget option with surprisingly good sightlines. Rows E-G offer the best value as they're closer to the front of this section.
• Rear Mezzanine Left/Right: Rows G-L ($102-$122) - Slightly angled views but minimal obstruction at these prices. Row G is particularly good for the price.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($150-$250)

• Orchestra Sides (ORCHO): Rows N-Y ($150-$188) - Mid-range orchestra seats with good central views. Rows U-X offer the best balance of price and location.
• Front Mezzanine (FMEZO): Rows A-E ($226-$242) - Premium balcony seats with excellent overhead views of the stage. Rows B-D are center-oriented.
• Box Seats: All Rows ($145) - Unique angled views close to the stage, best for intimate theatrical experiences.

Higher Tier Options ($250-$400)

• Center Orchestra (ORCHC): Rows Q-V ($243-$346) - Premium orchestra seating with dead-center views. Rows R-T are particularly well-positioned.
• Front Mezzanine Center (FMEZC): Rows A-F ($257-$357) - The best balcony seats in the house with perfect elevation for viewing the full stage.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($400+)

• Center Orchestra Front (ORCHC): Rows B-L ($393-$556) - Front orchestra seats with unparalleled views. Rows H-J place you right in the heart of the action.
• Front Mezzanine Front Row: ($667-$707) - Only consider these if you absolutely must have first-row mezzanine - the price premium is significant.

View Differences & Recommendations

• Rear Mezzanine: Higher elevation shows off the full stage picture - ideal for dance numbers and large ensemble scenes. Avoid rows M+ as they may feel distant.
• Orchestra Sides: Rows N-Y have minimal obstruction but miss some facial expressions. Best for viewers who prefer seeing footwork and full-body acting.
• Center Orchestra: Rows H-M are the true "golden zone" - close enough for intimacy but far enough to take in the whole stage.
• Box Seats: Provide unique angled perspectives that can be magical for certain scenes, though you might miss some action on the far side of the stage.

Pro Tips

• The $89 RMEZZ tickets in rows E-G are the undisputed best value, often selling out first
• For groups of 4+, consider the $132 RMEZZ Row J tickets - good availability and solid views
• If splurging, the $346 ORCHC Row K seats offer near-perfect center views at below-premium prices
• Avoid extreme side sections (REAR MEZZANINE LEFT/RIGHT beyond row L) for this production
• For last-minute decisions, check for $150 Orchestra side seats (Rows U-X) which often become available

Final Recommendation

For most viewers, we recommend the $89-$113 Rear Mezzanine (Rows E-G) for best value, or the $176 Orchestra side (Rows D-K) for a more immersive experience. Serious theatergoers should consider the $243 Center Orchestra (Rows Q-T) for the ideal balance of view and price.
