Expert Tips for Choosing the Best Seats at Broadway Theatre

Discover the perfect seats for "The Great Gatsby" with our detailed breakdown of sections, views, and value recommendations at Broadway Theatre. Whether you're looking for budget-friendly options, premium views, or last-minute deals, this guide will help you make an informed decision for your theatrical experience.

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• Rear Mezzanine (RMEZZ) Rows J/E: At $60-$64, these offer solid views from elevated center sections. Row J is slightly more affordable but further back.
• Rear Mezzanine Row H: Priced at $89-$104, these provide better sightlines than rear rows while maintaining good value.

Sweet Spot Tickets (Best Balance of Price & View: $100-$180)

• Orchestra (ORCHO) Rows K-T: $118-$150 seats in center orchestra. Rows K-N (mid-orchestra) offer particularly good sightlines to the stage.
• Front Mezzanine Sides Rows F: $142-$143 for angled but unobstructed elevated views.
• Box Seats: $145 for unique side-angle views closer to the stage action.
• Rear Mezzanine Rows A-F: $151-$182 for center sections with full stage visibility.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views: $180-$300)

• Front Mezzanine Center Rows A-E: $204-$295 for the best elevated views with perfect sightlines.
• Orchestra Center Rows O-W: $218-$274 for premium orchestra seating with direct central views.
• Front Orchestra Rows C-J: $285-$366 for closest views to the stage action.

Premium/Last-Minute Options ($300+)

• Orchestra Center Rows F-J: $447-$556 for ultimate premium seating directly facing the stage.
• Front Mezzanine Center Rows A-B: $288-$295 for the very best elevated perspectives.

View Comparison & Recommendations

• Orchestra vs. Mezzanine: Orchestra seats (especially center sections Rows K-T) provide closer proximity to performers, while mezzanine offers better overall perspective of large production numbers.
• Front Mezzanine Center: Rows C-F ($218-$274) deliver arguably the best overall views in the house, combining elevation with central positioning.
• Box Seats Warning: While affordable at $145, some box seats may have partial obstructions - best for intimate scenes but may miss some staging.
• Rear Mezzanine Value: Rows A-F ($151-$182) offer excellent value with full stage views, though further back.

Pro Tips for "The Great Gatsby"

• For this production's lavish party scenes, center-left orchestra seats (Rows M-R, $150-$190) provide ideal views of the full spectacle.
• If prioritizing Gatsby and Daisy's intimate scenes, aim for center orchestra Rows H-K ($285-$447).
• Budget-conscious theatergoers should target Rear Mezzanine Rows E-H ($104-$150) for 80% of the experience at 40% of premium seat prices.
• Check for last-minute releases of premium orchestra seats (Rows C-J) which sometimes become available at slight discounts.

Final Recommendation

For most attendees, we recommend the Orchestra Center Rows K-N ($150-$167) or Front Mezzanine Center Rows D-E ($216-$223) as the ideal balance of price and view quality. These sections provide unimpeded sightlines to appreciate both the intimate drama and grand production numbers of this Jazz Age classic.
