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

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• MEZZO Section Rows H-K ($89-$91): Excellent mid-mezzanine views with minimal obstruction. Row H offers the best value at $89 with only slight angle toward center stage.
• MEZZPV Rows A-F ($91-$93): Premium mezzanine side sections with closer proximity to the stage. Rows A-E provide excellent side-angle views of the performers.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($100-$150)

• MEZZANINE LEFT Rows J-K ($99-$102): Left-center views with perfect elevation to appreciate the full stage production. Only 2% more expensive than rear mezzanine but significantly better sightlines.
• ORCHPV Rows C-M ($122): Orchestra side sections with near-perfect sightlines to the band area. Particularly recommend Rows J-M which avoid any potential overhang.
• MEZZO Rows E-G ($126-$148): Front mezzanine center - the "goldilocks zone" offering both good prices and premium views of the Cuban ensemble's formations.

Higher Tier Options ($150-$250)

• Mezzanine Center Rows B-H ($157-$246): Direct center views ideal for appreciating the full choreography. Row E at $243 offers particularly good value in this category.
• ORCHO Rows P-S ($131-$179): Rear orchestra center - excellent for those who prefer being closer to the stage while maintaining full-stage visibility.
• MEZZC Rows B-F ($189-$232): Front and center mezzanine - perfect for audiophiles as this section benefits from the theatre's best acoustic sweet spot.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($250+)

• ORCHC Rows A-AA ($288-$419): Front orchestra center - unbeatable proximity to the performers. Row AA at $288 is surprisingly affordable for this premium location.
• Mezzanine Center Row A ($372): The "royalty box" effect - centered front mezzanine with perfect elevation and no obstructions.
• ORCHESTRA CENTER Rows H-J ($463): The ultimate VIP experience - close enough to see facial expressions while maintaining ideal viewing angles.

View Comparison

The Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre's shallow mezzanine overhang means even rear mezzanine seats (Rows K-L) maintain good sightlines. For Buena Vista Social Club's vibrant dance numbers, we recommend:

• MEZZANINE: Better for appreciating the full choreography patterns (Rows D-H ideal)
• ORCHESTRA: Preferred for feeling immersed in the music (Rows M-Q offer best balance)
• FRONT SECTIONS: Perfect for seeing the musicians' techniques and facial expressions

Pro Tips

• The $89 MEZZO Row H tickets represent the best price-to-value ratio in the house
• MEZZPV sections offer surprisingly good side views at just $91 - no seat is more than 45° from center
• For groups of 4+, the MEZZANINE LEFT Row J at $125 provides excellent together-seating
• Last-minute buyers should watch for ORCHC Row AA drops - these often become available below $300
