Best Value Tickets (Under $130)

• Mezzanine Rows H-K ($117-$130): Excellent mid-range options with good elevation. Rows H-J offer slightly better angles than K. Currently 6+ tickets available in Row H at $117 - our top budget pick.
• Mezzanine Left/Right Row J ($128-$135): Side views but closer to center than standard MEZZO sections. Good for smaller groups (4-5 tickets available).

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View $130-$180)

• Mezzanine Center Rows J-K ($133-$136): Prime central views at 20% less than comparable orchestra seats. Row J has better elevation over heads.
• Orchestra Rows R-S ($165-$171): Rear orchestra but unobstructed sightlines. Especially good for taller attendees who prefer level seating.
• Front Mezzanine PV Rows A-E ($176): Premium front mezzanine seats at mid-range prices. Rows C-D are center-justified.

Higher Tier Options ($180-$250)

• Orchestra Center Rows M-P ($189-$225): True premium seating with perfect sightlines to the Cuban band setup. Row N at $204 is particularly well-priced.
• Front Mezzanine Rows A-F ($181-$227): Closest mezzanine seats with immersive views of the stage's musical arrangements.
• Orchestra Side Rows K-M ($206-$250): Closer to stage but with slight angle. Best for right-side (audience left) which faces more performers.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($250+)

• Orchestra Center Rows A-J ($336-$526): Ultimate VIP experience. Rows G-J ($415-$526) place you right in the Cuban music "sweet spot" for optimal acoustics.
• Front Mezzanine Boxes ($512-$657): Exclusive private boxes with perfect overhead views of the percussion section.
• Orchestra Rows B-D ($235-$293): Immediate stage proximity - can see facial expressions but may need to look up slightly.

View Comparison

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine provides better overall perspective of the full band setup, while orchestra delivers more intimate energy.
• Center vs Sides: Center sections (MEZZC/ORCHC) have perfect alignment with the central piano and lead vocalists.
• Front Rows Warning: Rows A-C in orchestra may require slight neck tilt due to stage height - better for shorter attendees.

Our Top Recommendations

• Best Budget: Mezzanine Row H at $117 (6 tickets available)
• Best Value: Mezzanine Center Row J at $133 (7 tickets)
• Premium Pick: Orchestra Center Row N at $204 (perfect music sightlines)
• Group Option: Orchestra Rows R-S ($165-$171) with 5-6 seat blocks

Special Notes for This Production
