🔍 View Comparison

• Orchestra vs. Mezzanine: Orchestra seats (especially center) provide intimacy with performers, while mezzanine offers better perspective for ensemble numbers.
• Front Mezzanine (Rows A-F): Comparable view quality to mid-orchestra at lower prices.
• Side Sections: ORCHPV/MEZZPV have slight viewing angles but often better prices than center sections.

💡 Pro Tips

• For Cuban music shows like this, center-left orchestra (ORCHO Rows L-Q) often has the best acoustics.
• Mezzanine Rows A-D provide the best overall value for money in this theater.
• Check for last-minute ORCHC releases (Rows M-Q) which sometimes drop below $300.
