Best Value Tickets (Under $140)

• MEZZPV Rows A-F ($119-$120): Premium View sections at mezzanine level provide perfect sightlines to appreciate the full Cuban ensemble. Rows C-E are particularly well-positioned.

Sweet Spot Tickets (Best Balance of Price & View: $140-$180)

• ORCHPV Rows G-M ($138): Orchestra premium views at mezzanine prices. These center-orchestra seats put you closer to the authentic Cuban instrumentation details.
• MEZZC Rows H-J ($135-$139): Dead-center mezzanine seats where the full stage picture and Latin dance formations are most impressive.
• ORCHO Rows Q-S ($146-$157): Rear orchestra still provides excellent sound quality for this music-rich show at 20% less than mid-orchestra.

Higher Tier Options ($180-$250)

• MEZZO Rows A-G ($161-$178): Front mezzanine delivers dramatic views of the Cuban costumes and choreography. Rows D-F are worth the upgrade.
• ORCHO Rows M-P ($189-$199): Mid-orchestra seats where you'll feel the percussion section vibrate through your seat - perfect for Afro-Cuban beats.

• MEZZC Rows A-D ($247-$309): Front-and-center mezzanine for patrons who want to fully immerse in the visual spectacle.
• ORCHC Rows A-AA ($387-$459): Ultimate VIP experience - close enough to see the musicians' techniques and feel the energy of the performers.

View Recommendations

• For Musicians: ORCHPV or ORCHC seats Rows E-M to study the authentic Cuban playing techniques up close.
• For Dancers: MEZZC Rows D-H to best appreciate the full choreography patterns.
• Budget-Conscious: MEZZO Rows J-K still deliver excellent sound and 90% of the visual experience at 40% less than premium seats.
• VIP Experience: ORCHC Row AA puts you in the legendary "Buena Vista" sweet spot - these often sell out first.

Seating Notes

The Schoenfeld's intimate 1,079-seat space means even the "cheap seats" have good sightlines. For this music-driven show, prioritize center sections (even if further back) over side seats for balanced acoustics. Mezzanine Rows A-C may feel slightly steep for some patrons.
