Broadway Theatre Seating Guide | The Great Gatsby Tickets – Best Views & Value

Expert Recommendations for The Great Gatsby at Broadway Theatre

As a Broadway seating specialist, I've analyzed every section of the theatre to help you find the perfect seats for "The Great Gatsby." Below you'll find categorized recommendations based on price, view quality, and availability for both the theatrical production and musical adaptation.

💰 Best Value Tickets (Under $120)

• Rear Mezzanine (Rows G-J): $65-$111 - Surprisingly good sightlines from center sections. Row H at $65 is a steal.
• Orchestra Right/Left (Rows Y-X): $116-$120 - Side views but close to stage. Best for budget-conscious theatergoers.
• Tip: RMEZZ Row G at $66 offers better value than similar-priced side orchestra seats.

🎯 Sweet Spot (Great Balance of Price & View)

• Rear Mezzanine Center (Rows C-G): $140-$182 - Elevated view shows entire stage picture perfectly.
• Orchestra Center (Rows W-Y): $160-$173 - Close enough to see facial expressions clearly.
• Front Mezzanine Sides (Rows E-F): $189-$202 - Steeply angled for excellent sightlines over heads.

✨ Higher Tier Options (Premium Experience)

• Orchestra Center (Rows K-T): $257-$360 - The "golden zone" for Broadway shows with perfect acoustics.
• Front Mezzanine Center (Rows A-D): $285-$295 - Arguably the best views in the house.
• Box Seats: $145 - Intimate experience though slightly obstructed views.

💎 Premium & Last-Minute Seats

• Orchestra Center (Rows B-J): $294-$556 - For those wanting to splurge on center aisle seats.
• Front Row Mezzanine: $419-$707 - Collector's items when available.
• Tip: Check for ORCH CENTER Row L at $505 - often released last-minute.

🔍 View Comparison Key

• Orchestra Center: Unobstructed views but flat floor means taller people may block views
• Front Mezzanine: Steeper rake ensures clear views over heads - ideal for shorter attendees
• Rear Mezzanine: Further back but elevated view shows entire choreography patterns
• Side Sections: May miss some upstage action but often closer to performers

🎭 Special Notes for The Great Gatsby

• The lavish party scenes look spectacular from mezzanine seats
• Intimate dialogue scenes benefit from closer orchestra positions
• Dance numbers are best appreciated from center mezzanine
• Avoid extreme sides if you want to see the full scenic design

💡 Pro Tips

• Orchestra rows M-U offer the best value in the center sections
• Front mezzanine row D is my personal favorite "secret" spot
• Check for single seats in premium sections - often discounted
• Matinee performances sometimes have better pricing
