Eugene O'Neill Theatre | The Book of Mormon Seating Guide & Best Value Tickets

Expert Recommendations for The Book of Mormon at Eugene O'Neill Theatre

As a historic Broadway theater with just 1,108 seats, the Eugene O'Neill offers an intimate experience for The Book of Mormon. Below is our expert breakdown of the best sections for every budget, with detailed notes on view quality from each area.

Best Value Tickets ($107-$130)

• Mezzanine Left/Right Rows J-G: Excellent mid-range option. Rows G-J provide clear overhead views of the full stage at just $107-$130. Slight side angles actually enhance the comedic staging.
• Mezzanine Left Row L ($115): Back mezzanine still offers good sightlines, though some facial expressions may be harder to see. Best for budget-conscious viewers.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price) ($140-$166)

• Mezzanine Rows D-G ($140-$166): Front mezzanine delivers Broadway's famous "golden triangle" - elevated enough for full stage views but close enough for emotional connection. Row D is particularly strong.
• Rear Mezzanine Right Row G ($141): Surprisingly good side views with minimal obstruction. The Eugene O'Neill's steep rake ensures good sightlines even in rear sections.

Higher Tier Options ($177-$203)

• Orchestra Left/Right Rows M-Q ($177-203): Premium orchestra seating with slight side angles. Perfect if you want to be closer to the actors while saving $100+ over center orchestra.
• Front Mezzanine Center Row C ($203): Dead-center views with perfect elevation for appreciating the show's choreography and set design.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($244+)

• Orchestra Center Rows A-B ($277): Ultimate Broadway experience - close enough to see every facial expression during this dialogue-heavy show.
• Orchestra Center Row P ($244): Mid-center orchestra offers perfect balance of proximity and full-stage perspective.

View Comparison by Section

• Orchestra Center: Unobstructed views but rows T-Q may require looking up slightly. Rows A-J are premium but overpriced for this show.
• Mezzanine Front Center: Arguably better than orchestra for this production - elevated view enhances the comedic timing and group numbers.
• Side Mezzanine: Surprisingly good value. The Book of Mormon's staging uses the full width of the Eugene O'Neill's stage.
• Rear Mezzanine: Only recommended for rows A-C. The theater's compact size means even rear seats are decent, but avoid rows L-M.

Pro Tips for The Book of Mormon

• Mezzanine seats between D-G offer the best balance of price and view quality
• Orchestra side seats (Left/Right Rows K-M) provide 90% of the experience at 60% of center orchestra prices
• Avoid extreme far side seats in rows A-C - some sightline obstructions may occur
• For groups of 4+, the Mezzanine Left/Right Row J tickets at $107 are exceptional value

Final Recommendation

For most attendees, we recommend the Mezzanine Left/Right Rows D-G ($140-$166) as the perfect combination of view quality and value. Theater veterans know these front mezzanine seats often provide better overall experiences than expensive orchestra seats for musical comedies like The Book of Mormon.
