Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre Seating Guide for "The Buena Vista Social Club"

Best Value Tickets ($89-$117)

• MEZZO Sections (Rows H-J): Excellent mid-mezzanine views at just $89-$91. Row H offers particularly good sightlines to the full stage.
• MEZZPV (Rows A-F): Premium value at $89-$91. These partial view seats often have minimal obstructions with major savings.
• MEZZC (Rows H-K): Center mezzanine for $117-$118 - the best balanced price/view in the house. Perfect if you want centered perspective.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($122-$158)

• ORCHPV (Rows C-M): $122 orchestra partial views with only slight angle restrictions. Rows F-K provide the clearest sightlines.
• Mezzanine Sides (Rows E-J): $125-$158 for comfortable side views. Left side (House Right) has better visibility for this production.
• ORCHO Rear (Rows Q-S): $132-$138 for full orchestra coverage. Higher rows actually improve the view of the full stage.

Higher Tier Options ($170-$240)

• Mid-Orchestra (Rows M-P): $170-$178 puts you in the "golden zone" - close enough to see expressions but far enough for full staging.
• Front Mezzanine (Rows A-G): $187-$240. Rows C-E ($229-$232) offer the best front-center mezzanine experience.
• Orchestra Sides (Rows G-O): $227-$240. Right side (Section ORCHESTRA RIGHT) has slightly better views for this show.

Premium Seats ($245-$379)

• ORCHC Center (Rows AA-K): $245-$379. AA row puts you right in front of the Cuban band's energy. Rows L-M ($288) are the premium sweet spot.
• Front Mezzanine Center (Rows A-C): $360-$372. Unmatched overhead views of the intricate musical staging.
• VIP Orchestra (Rows A-D): $360-$379. For true immersion in the music - you'll feel part of the Social Club.

View Comparison

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine (Rows F-J) provides better views of the full choreography, while orchestra (Rows K-Q) excels for musical intimacy.
• Center vs Sides: Center sections command 20-30% premiums but guarantee unobstructed views. Side mezzanine offers 90% of the experience at 60% of cost.
• Partial View Reality Check: Most ORCHPV and MEZZPV seats only miss extreme stage corners - well worth the 40% savings for this music-focused show.

Expert Recommendations

• Best Overall Value: MEZZO Row H ($89) or MEZZC Row H ($117) - perfect balance of price and view
• Premium Experience: ORCHC Row L ($288) - center orchestra magic without front-row neck strain
• Group Tickets: MEZZO Rows H-J have multiple 6-seat blocks available at $89-$115
• Last Minute Splurge: Watch for ORCHC Row AA drops - these $245 seats often get released day-of-show

The Gerald Schoenfeld's intimate 1,080-seat space means there are no truly bad seats for this musical celebration. The Cuban-inspired staging makes mezzanine seats particularly rewarding for taking in the full visual spectacle.
