Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre Seating Guide for "The Buena Vista Social Club"

Best Value Tickets (Under $130)

• Mezzanine Rows H-K ($118-$133): Excellent mid-mezzanine views with minimal obstruction. Rows H-J offer the best value at $120-$124 - you'll see the full stage panorama while saving significantly over orchestra seats.
• Mezzanine Left Row J ($128): Slight side angle but still good visibility of the full stage, especially for dance numbers.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View: $130-$175)

• Mezzanine Center Rows H-K ($132-$133): Dead-center views with perfect sightlines to appreciate the full Cuban ensemble. These often sell out first.
• Orchestra Rows Q-S ($161-$165): Rear orchestra still delivers great sound quality for this musical. Row Q is particularly good - you'll catch all the facial expressions while saving over $100 vs front sections.
• Mezzanine Premium View Rows A-E ($176-$178): Front mezzanine puts you at ideal elevation to appreciate the choreography patterns.

Higher Tier Options ($175-$300)

• Orchestra Center Rows K-N ($228-$279): Premium sound quality for the Afro-Cuban rhythms. Rows L-M ($233) are the acoustic sweet spot in this theater.
• Front Mezzanine Center Rows B-E ($259-$276): Unobstructed overhead views - perfect for appreciating the full band arrangement.
• Orchestra Side Rows E-H ($218-$233): Closer proximity to stage but slight angle. Best for those who prioritize proximity over perfect sightlines.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($300+)

• Orchestra Center Rows A-C ($418-$495): You'll feel the percussion vibrations in these legendary front rows. Row AA ($428) offers the perfect balance of proximity and viewing angle.
• Front Mezzanine Boxes ($360-$495): Intimate private boxes with unique diagonal views of the stage.
• Center Orchestra Rows H-J ($526): The producer's choice seats - perfect sightlines with ideal sound mixing.

View Comparison

• Orchestra: Best for feeling immersed in the music (Rows K-P ideal)
• Mezzanine: Better for appreciating full stage choreography (Rows E-J center recommended)
• Side Sections: Good value but partial views of upstage elements

Pro Tips for This Production

• Mezzanine rows A-D may have slight overhang from the balcony above
• Orchestra rows AA-C may require some neck craning during dance numbers
• For best sound balance, avoid extreme far right/left in rear orchestra
