Viewing Recommendations

For "Buena Vista Social Club," we recommend:

• Budget-Conscious: MEZZO Row J ($165) - same great sightlines as more expensive mezzanine seats
• Best Overall Value: ORCHO Row Q ($190) - center orchestra at nearly half the price of front sections
• Premium Experience: ORCHC Row D ($458) - close enough for intimacy with perfect center alignment
• Group Bookings (6+): MEZZO Rows H-J ($165-$169) - multiple adjacent seats available

Section Comparison

• Orchestra vs Mezzanine: Orchestra provides immersion, mezzanine offers better perspective for dance numbers
• Center vs Sides: Side sections (MEZZPV) have slight viewing angles but often better prices
• Front Rows: First 3 rows mezzanine (A-C) and first 7 rows orchestra provide the most detailed views

Special Notes

The Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre has excellent acoustics throughout, so sound quality remains superb even in rear sections. For this Cuban-inspired musical, center-left seating (ORCH Left/MEZZ Left) may provide slightly better views of the traditional instrument placements.
