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

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• MEZZPV Rows B-D ($89): Front Mezzanine side sections with excellent diagonal views of the stage. Row B is particularly good with minimal obstruction.
• MEZZO Rows J-K ($89): Center-rear Mezzanine with surprisingly good sightlines. The Schoenfeld's steep rake means even rear mezzanine has clear views.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price $100-150)

• ORCHPV Rows C-M ($122): Premium Value Orchestra seats - side sections but closer than Mezzanine. Rows F-J offer the best balance of proximity and value.
• MEZZANINE CENTER Row K ($123-124): Dead-center views from the Mezzanine. Perfect for taking in the full stage picture of this musical production.
• MEZZO Rows G-H ($124-147): Mid-Mezzanine with comfortable elevation. Ideal for seeing the intricate choreography and band arrangements.

Higher Tier Options ($150-250)

• ORCHO Rows Q-S ($132-138): Rear Orchestra center - excellent sound quality for this music-heavy show. Avoid Row S if you're tall as legroom decreases.
• MEZZANINE LEFT/RIGHT Rows E-G ($136-156): Front side Mezzanine with more intimacy. Great for seeing facial expressions of performers.
• MEZZC Rows E-G ($189-190): Front Mezzanine center - the "goldilocks zone" not too close, not too far.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($250+)

• ORCHC Rows A-C ($285-360): Front Orchestra center - immersive experience with the Cuban music vibrating through you.
• MEZZANINE CENTER Rows B-D ($254-258): Front-center Mezzanine - perfect elevated view of the entire stage.
• ORCHESTRA CENTER Rows H-J ($455-463): Premium orchestra center - close enough to see every expression from the legendary musicians.

Viewing Recommendations

• For Music Lovers: Choose Mezzanine Center (Rows F-K) to best appreciate the full band arrangement and see all musicians clearly.
• For Dance Enthusiasts: Orchestra Left/Right (Rows M-P) provide ideal angles to appreciate the Cuban dance choreography.
• For Intimacy: Front Mezzanine sides (MEZZPV Rows B-D) offer surprisingly close views at budget-friendly prices.
• Avoid: Extreme far sides in rear Mezzanine (MEZZO Rows K+) as some stage corners may be slightly obscured.
