Sweet Spot Seats (Best Price/View Balance $110-$150)

• Mezzanine Left/Right (Rows H-J): $110-$126 - Centered side sections with perfect elevation for appreciating the full stage.
• MEZZC (Rows H-K): $117-$123 - True center mezzanine with the most balanced sound and sightlines.
• ORCHPV (Rows C-M): $122 - Orchestra partial view seats where the view restriction is typically just the very front of the stage.

Higher Tier Options ($150-$240)

• Front Mezzanine (Rows A-G): $144-$190 - Closest mezzanine seats with excellent vertical sightlines to see choreography details.
• Mid-Orchestra (Rows O-S): $132-$179 - Solid orchestra positions with good elevation. Avoid too far sides in these rows.

View Differences by Section

• Mezzanine: First 3 rows (A-C) can have slight overhang. Center sections (MEZZC) have no balcony overhang.
• Side Sections: MEZZO/MEZZPV angles range from 45-60 degrees - perfect for this dance-heavy show.

Expert Recommendations

• Best Overall Value: MEZZC Row H ($122) - Perfect centerline with ideal elevation
• Budget Pick: MEZZPV Row D ($89) - Surprisingly good partial view
• Premium Experience: ORCHC Row L ($288) - Close center orchestra without premium pricing
• Group Seating: MEZZO Row J ($89 for 6 seats) - Excellent side block for groups

Special Notes for This Production

The Buena Vista Social Club makes excellent use of the entire stage depth. We recommend avoiding rows where the overhang might obscure the upstage Cuban-style band platform. Mezzanine seats actually provide better views of the full choreography patterns.
