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

Best Value Tickets (Under $170)

• Mezzanine Center (MEZZO) Rows H-J: $164-$167 - Excellent mid-mezzanine views with minimal obstruction. Row H offers the best value at $164.
• Mezzanine Partial View (MEZZPV) Rows B-F: $168-$172 - Slight side obstructions but great sound quality. Row F at $168 is a steal.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Orchestra Center (ORCHO) Rows Q-S: $189-$193 - Prime orchestra seating at 20% less than comparable center sections. Row R offers perfect sightlines to the Cuban band setup.
• Mezzanine Center (MEZZC) Rows H-K: $190-$191 - Elevated but direct center views ideal for appreciating the full stage choreography.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Locations)

• Orchestra Premium View (ORCHPV) Rows B-N: $194-$195 - Unobstructed side orchestra seats closer to the stage. Rows B-D provide intimate views of soloists.
• Front Mezzanine (MEZZO) Rows A-D: $217 - First mezzanine rows with pristine overhead views of the percussion section.

Premium/Last-Minute Seats

• Center Orchestra (ORCHC) Rows AA-C: $418-$495 - Front-and-center for the full Cuban music experience. Row AA puts you 15 feet from the brass section.
• Front Mezzanine Center (MEZZC) Row A: $430-$441 - Best overall house views, especially for large ensemble numbers.

View Comparison

• Orchestra Left/Right: Rows K-S ($204-$246) offer good side views but may miss some upstage choreography.
• Mezzanine Sides: $176-$240 - Better for sound than sightlines, with partial stage obstructions.
• Orchestra Rows M-P: $230-$231 - Mid-orchestra "dead zone" where sightlines begin to flatten.

Expert Recommendations

• For groups: MEZZO Row H at $164 (6+ tickets available) provides the best group value.
• For couples: ORCHPV Row D at $195 offers romantic side orchestra seating.
• For true fans: ORCHC Row AA at $418 puts you in the heart of the musical action.
• Avoid: Far side mezzanine (MEZZANINE LEFT/RIGHT) above Row G due to sound imbalance.

Special Notes for This Production

The stage extends unusually far forward, making orchestra rows Q-S (normally mid-house) feel like premium seats. The mezzanine overhang begins at Row K, making Rows A-J in MEZZO particularly desirable for this dance-heavy show.
