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

Best Value Tickets ($117-$137)

• MEZZO Section Rows H-J: Excellent mid-mezzanine views at lowest prices (Rows H-J $117-$124). These center-mezzanine seats offer balanced sound and good stage visibility despite being higher up.
• MEZZC Rows H-K: Center mezzanine ($132-$137) provides the best value for true centered views. Row H is particularly good with only 7 rows in front.

Sweet Spot ($149-$175)

• Mezzanine Left/Right Rows E-G: ($149-$172) Closer to stage with angled but clear views. Left side (facing stage) often has better availability.
• MEZZO Rows E-G: ($161-$175) Front mezzanine center - the premium balcony experience before prices jump dramatically.

Higher Tier Orchestra Options ($187-$235)

• ORCHO Rows M-P: ($187-$192) Mid-orchestra side sections. Row O/P offer good elevation over heads while maintaining proximity.
• ORCHPV Seats: ($190-$210) Partial view orchestra - check specific seats as some may have minor obstructions.

Premium Seating ($259+)

• MEZZC Rows A-D: ($259-$419) Front center mezzanine - arguably the best views in the house, especially for dance-heavy shows.
• ORCHC Center Rows L-Q: ($273-$360) True center orchestra with perfect sightlines. Rows N-O ($273) offer the best balance.
• Front Orchestra AA-B: ($416-$495) Ultimate VIP experience - so close you'll see facial expressions.

View Differences & Recommendations

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine provides better overall perspective for dance numbers, while orchestra delivers intimacy with performers.
• Row Depth: In mezzanine, rows A-D have just 2-4 rows in front; rows H-K have 7-10 rows ahead.
• Best Sound: MEZZC rows D-G or ORCHC rows L-P for balanced acoustics.
• Group Tip: 6+ tickets available together in MEZZO rows H-K ($117-$124) - rare Broadway group availability.

Last-Minute Options

• Single MEZZPV seats ($176) occasionally release last-minute
• ORCHPV seats often drop below $200 closer to showtime
• Check for MEZZO row A releases ($363) - sometimes held for premium sales

Buena Vista Social Club Special Notes

For this Cuban music spectacular, center-left seating (audience right) often provides better views of piano and horn sections. The mezzanine's elevated view helps appreciate the full ensemble's choreography. Avoid extreme far sides if you want to see the full percussion setup.
