Broadway Theatre Seating Guide | The Great Gatsby - Best Seats & Value Tickets

Expert Recommendations for The Great Gatsby at Broadway Theatre

Discover the perfect seats for "The Great Gatsby" with our detailed breakdown of the Broadway Theatre's seating chart. Whether you're looking for budget-friendly options, premium views, or the sweet spot between price and quality, we've analyzed every section to help you make an informed decision.

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• Rear Mezzanine (RMEZZ) Rows E-J: Excellent budget option at $76-$90. While higher up, these seats offer a full stage view with good acoustics. Rows E-F provide slightly better angles than back rows.
• Rear Mezzanine Left Row L: $88 tickets that are centered enough to avoid extreme side views common in this price range.

Sweet Spot Seats (Best Balance of Price & View $100-$175)

• Rear Mezzanine Center Rows F-H: $136-$176 gets you centered views with better elevation than orchestra seats at similar prices.
• Orchestra Right/Left Rows Y-T: $112-$183 for side orchestra seats. Rows Y are far back but on the aisle. Rows T are closer but at sharper angles.
• Box Seats A-F: $145 for unique angled views close to stage - best for intimate experiences rather than full-stage perspectives.

Premium Orchestra Seats ($175-$300)

• Orchestra Center Rows V-W: $178-$183 for the heart of the "Goldilocks zone" - close enough for details but far enough for full stage views.
• Front Mezzanine Rows A-E: $212-$315. The front mezzanine often provides better sightlines than equivalent-priced orchestra seats, especially for dance-heavy shows.
• Orchestra Center Rows Q-U: $228-$234. Center sections in these rows offer pristine views with good head-on angles.

VIP & Last-Minute Options ($300+)

• Orchestra Center Rows B-J: $329-$556. The true premium seats with closest views of actors' expressions. Row D at $393 is particularly good value in this category.
• Front Mezzanine Center Rows A-B: $308-$318. The best views in the house for overall stage pictures and choreography appreciation.

View Comparison Between Key Sections

• Rear Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine provides better overall views of complex staging, while orchestra excels for intimate moments. For Gatsby's party scenes, mezzanine may be preferable.
• Front Mezzanine vs Orchestra Center: At similar prices, front mezzanine often provides superior sightlines, especially for taller patrons or those wanting to see footwork.
• Side Orchestra vs Center Rear Mezzanine: Side orchestra seats closer than Row T can feel uncomfortably angled, while center rear mezzanine maintains proper perspective.

Special Recommendations

• For Budget-Conscious Buyers: The $76 RMEZZ Row E tickets are exceptional value, especially for pairs (quantity available: 2).
• Best Mid-Range Option: Rear Mezzanine Center Row F at $176 offers centered views that outperform many more expensive orchestra seats.
• Splurge-Worthy Seats: Orchestra Center Row D at $393 provides Broadway's legendary "perfect seats" experience for Gatsby's lavish production numbers.
• Unique Experience: Box seats ($145) offer close proximity to the action, ideal for those who've seen the show before and want a new perspective.

Pro Tips for Your Purchase

• The Broadway Theatre's shallow mezzanine overhang means even rear mezzanine seats have good sightlines
• For matinees, avoid far right orchestra seats which get afternoon sun through side windows
• Pairs of tickets are often priced better than singles in the same section
• Check the seat map for specific numbered seats - odd numbers are house left, even are right
