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

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

• MEZZPV Rows B-E ($84): Front mezzanine side sections with surprisingly good diagonal views of the stage. Rows B-C offer the best value in this category.
• MEZZO Rows J-K ($89-90): Center mezzanine rear rows still provide excellent overall views at nearly half the price of front mezzanine seats.

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

• MEZZANINE LEFT/Right Rows G-J ($110-136): Side mezzanine with closer proximity to stage. Right side (House Right) has slightly better views for this musical.
• MEZZC Rows H-K ($117-118): True center mezzanine seats with perfect head-on views. Rows H-J are ideal for price/visibility balance.
• ORCHPV Rows G-M ($122): Orchestra side sections - avoid extreme side seats beyond Row L as they may have partial obstructions.

Higher Tier Options ($150-250)

• MEZZO Rows A-D ($150-152): Front center mezzanine - the "goldilocks zone" with perfect elevation and proximity.
• ORCHO Rows Q-S ($132-138): Rear orchestra center - great for those who prefer floor seats but want to save.
• Mezzanine Center Rows F-G ($179-180): Premium mezzanine positions with outstanding sightlines to all stage action.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($250+)

• ORCHC Rows AA-P ($245-288): Front orchestra center - unbeatable proximity for seeing facial expressions.
• MEZZC Rows A-B ($288-334): Front row mezzanine center - considered the best overall seats in the house.
• ORCHESTRA CENTER Rows H-J ($455-463): Ultimate VIP experience - middle of rows 8-10 in the orchestra.

View Differences & Recommendations

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine provides better overall perspective for dance numbers, while orchestra excels for intimate moments.
• Side Sections: Right side (House Right) generally has better views of piano/keyboard areas in this production.
• Front Mezzanine Warning: Rows A-B may have slight overhang from the mezzanine balcony above - choose Row C or further back if tall.
• Best Sound: Center seats in MEZZC Rows D-H or ORCHC Rows L-Q offer ideal acoustic balance.

Special Notes for This Production

The Buena Vista Social Club features extensive use of the full stage width with musical performances. We recommend prioritizing center sections (MEZZC/ORCHC) or right side seats (House Right) for optimal viewing of all performers. The mezzanine provides particularly good views of the multi-level staging.
