Best Value Tickets (Under $120)

• MEZZO Row H ($116-124): Center mezzanine seats with full stage visibility. Slight price variations depend on exact seat numbers (better deals on even-numbered seats).

Sweet Spot Seats (Best Availability & Quality)

• ORCHPV Rows E-K ($127-138): Premium orchestra side sections closer to the stage. Rows E-F provide exceptional value with only slight viewing angles.
• MEZZC Rows H-J ($132-136): Dead-center mezzanine seats with perfect elevation for appreciating the full stage choreography and set design.

Higher Tier Options (Enhanced Experience)

• ORCHO Rows Q-S ($146-150): Rear orchestra center with surprisingly good acoustics. Ideal for those who prefer being at stage level.
• MEZZO Rows D-G ($174-178): Front-center mezzanine with immersive views. These often become available closer to show dates.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats

• ORCHC Rows L-P ($257-276): Mid-orchestra center sections with perfect sightlines. Rows N-O are the theater's acoustic sweet spot.
• MEZZC Rows A-C ($245-309): Front mezzanine center boxes that feel like private balconies - best for couples.

Viewing Differences by Section

• Orchestra Side (ORCHPV): Slight angle toward stage but closer proximity to performers. Rows E-J avoid potential overhang from mezzanine.
• Mezzanine Center (MEZZC): Elevated perspective ideal for appreciating full stage visuals. Rows E-H avoid feeling too distant.
• Front Mezzanine (Rows A-D): Steep pitch provides direct sightlines over heads in front, but may feel vertiginous for some.

Special Recommendations

• For dance-focused numbers: MEZZO Row G (perfect elevation to see footwork)
• For intimate moments: ORCHPV Rows C-D (close enough to see facial expressions)
• Best acoustics: ORCHC Rows N-P (center of the theater's sound design)
• Wheelchair accessible: MEZZO Row J has removable seats with companion options

Price Alert Strategy

Check daily for ORCHC Row M ($327) and MEZZO Row A ($326) - these premium seats often see last-minute price drops when production holds are released 48 hours before performances.

Final Tip

For "The Buena Vista Social Club," prioritize seats with good views of stage left (audience right) where most solo musicians are positioned. The MEZZPV sections actually offer superior sightlines to these performance areas compared to some center sections.
