• ORCHO Rows Q-S ($146-$158): Rear orchestra center offers surprisingly good sightlines at reasonable prices.
• MEZZO Rows A-D ($175-$178): Front mezzanine delivers premium vantage points without premium pricing.

Higher Tier Options ($189-$276)

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($319-$657)

• ORCHC Rows AA-A ($384-$408): Front orchestra center - the absolute best seats in the house.
• ORCHESTRA CENTER Rows H-J ($494): Perfect center section near the stage.
• MEZZANINE Rows F-G ($637-$657): Only consider these if you must have front mezzanine center.

View Differences & Recommendations

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: The mezzanine (especially center sections) offers better overall views of the full stage, while orchestra provides closer proximity.
• Side Sections: MEZZPV/ORCHPV offer great value but have slightly angled views. Best for budget-conscious theatergoers.
• Front Rows: Rows A-C in any section may require some neck craning - consider rows D-H for optimal comfort.
• Group Tickets: Multiple tickets available together in MEZZO Rows H-J (6 seats) and MEZZC Rows J-K (7-10 seats).

Pro Tips

• The Schoenfeld's mezzanine overhang begins at Row K - avoid rows beyond this for best sightlines.
• Left orchestra sections (odd-numbered seats) traditionally have slightly better views for dance-heavy shows.
• For authentic Cuban music experience, consider mezzanine seats to better appreciate the full band arrangement.
