Theatre Layout Insights

The Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre's intimate 1,055-seat configuration means there are few truly bad seats. The mezzanine overhang begins around Row M in the orchestra, making front mezzanine seats particularly desirable for this music-heavy production. The theater's Cuban-inspired redesign for this show enhances sightlines from the side sections.
