Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre | "The Buena Vista Social Club" Seating Guide & Best Ticket Deals

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views & Value

Discover the ideal seats for "The Buena Vista Social Club" musical at Broadway's intimate Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. With just 1,079 seats, this venue offers excellent sightlines from most sections - but some spots deliver exceptional value. Below are curated picks based on price, view quality, and availability.

🎯 Best Value Tickets ($89-$122)

• MEZZPV Rows A-F ($89-90): Front mezzanine side sections with minimal obstruction. Rows A-C are particularly strong for the price.
• ORCHPV Rows C-M ($122): Orchestra side sections with good diagonal stage views. Rows F-J offer the best balance of proximity and price.

⭐ Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• MEZZO Rows H-K ($90-119): Center mezzanine seats with full-stage views. Higher rows (J-K) often have better vertical angles.
• ORCHO Rows Q-S ($132-138): Rear orchestra center - farther back but perfectly centered views at reasonable prices.

💎 Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)

• MEZZC Rows H-K ($117-120): Premium mezzanine center - good views but pricey for the elevation.
• ORCHC Rows L-AA ($288-360): Prime orchestra center - only worth it for front rows (AA-C) if you want premium seating.

⚠️ Sections to Consider Carefully

• Far Side Mezzanine (Left/Right): Rows D-J ($99-159) can have slightly obstructed views of far stage corners.
• Front Orchestra Extreme Sides: Rows A-F ($257-302) may require some neck craning at this stage depth.

View Comparison Key

• Orchestra: Closest to stage (Rows AA-S) - best for seeing facial expressions
• Front Mezzanine (Rows A-F): Ideal for appreciating full choreography
• Rear Mezzanine (Rows G-K): Steeper angle but comprehensive views

💡 Pro Tips

• The Schoenfeld's mezzanine overhang begins at Row J - opt for rows A-I for unobstructed views
• Pair tickets (Quantity=2) are abundant in MEZZPV sections - great for couples
• Last-minute deals often appear for ORCHO Rows R-S ($132-138) day-of-show
