Viewing Recommendations

For this production, the mezzanine (especially MEZZC sections) provides superior views of the multi-level Cuban club set design. Orchestra seats closer than Row M may require some neck craning during ensemble numbers. Avoid far side sections beyond 5 for optimal sound balance.

Special Notes

• MEZZPV tickets offer 20-30% savings over comparable center sections with only slight angle differences
• Rows A-C in any section may have slight rail visibility issues for shorter attendees
• Pair tickets in MEZZO Row H ($115) with dinner packages for best overall value experience

Current Best Availability

As of now, the MEZZPV blocks (Rows A-F at $89) and ORCHO Rows Q-S ($137-144) show consistent availability with the best price-to-view ratios for this musically complex production.
