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

Expert Tips for Choosing Your Broadway Seats

The Eugene O'Neill Theatre's intimate 1,108-seat configuration means there are excellent sightlines throughout, but strategic seat selection can dramatically enhance your Book of Mormon experience. Here's my professional breakdown of current ticket options:

🎯 Best Value Tickets ($129-$157)

• Mezzanine Rows J-L: Side sections offer 10-15% savings versus center with minimal view obstruction. Row J has the best head-on stage perspective before the balcony overhang begins affecting sightlines.
• Rear Mezzanine Rows J: Elevated view shows the full choreography - perfect for appreciating the show's elaborate dance numbers. Slight angle actually improves comedy timing visibility.
• Pro Tip: Left mezzanine (house right) has better views of the Uganda scenes' staging.

🍬 Sweet Spot Seating ($140-$214)

• Mezzanine Rows D-G: The "Goldilocks zone" - close enough to see facial expressions but high enough for full stage views. Center sections at $244+ may not justify the premium over side seats at half the price.
• Orchestra Rows S-T Center: Surprisingly available at $173-$214. While rear orchestra, these dead-center seats have perfect sightlines to all the Mormon's visual gags and projections.

💎 Higher Tier Options ($200-$277)

• Front Mezzanine Rows B-D: The show's original designers actually preferred mezzanine viewing. Row B center ($277) delivers Broadway's famous "director's view" of the entire production.
• Orchestra Rows M-Q: Notice the $50+ premium for center vs side seats in equivalent rows. Worth it only if you must be close - the physical comedy plays well even from mezzanine.

✨ Premium Picks ($515+)

• Mezzanine Box Seats: At $515-$535, these ultra-close side seats are for true fans who want to see sweat flying during "Turn It Off" - but you'll miss some upstage action.
• Orchestra Front Rows: Only consider if you want to potentially interact with actors - the show's fourth-wall breaks make front rows an immersive experience.

🔍 View Comparison

• Orchestra Rear: Seats beyond Row T may feel cramped during full-house performances with tall patrons in front.
• Mezzanine Overhang: Rows K-M in rear mezzanine have slight sound muffling from the balcony above.
• Side Views: Extreme far left/right seats miss some projection gags but gain intimacy with wing exits.

💡 My Top Recommendations

• Best Budget Choice: Mezzanine Right Row J at $129 - 5 tickets available as of this listing
• Premium Experience: Orchestra Center Row Q at $229 - rare center section availability
• Group Friendly: Mezzanine Left Row L - 6 seats together at $130-$131

⚠️ Important Notes

The Eugene O'Neill's shallow balcony means even "rear" mezzanine seats are closer than most Broadway houses. For Book of Mormon specifically, the mezzanine often provides better comic timing visibility than orchestra seats at twice the price.
