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

Best Value Tickets (Under $130)

• MEZZPV Rows A-E ($122): Front mezzanine side sections with excellent diagonal views of the stage. Rows are steeply pitched so no obstructed views.
• MEZZO Rows H-K ($122-$125): Center mezzanine seats with good elevation. Rows J-K offer the best value as they're only 3 rows back from premium sections.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price - $130-$175)

• MEZZC Rows H-K ($132-$133): Dead-center mezzanine with perfect head-on views. Ideal for those wanting balanced sound and sightlines.
• ORCHPV Rows C-M ($138): Side orchestra with closer proximity to stage. Excellent for seeing facial expressions of performers.
• MEZZO Rows D-G ($161-$175): Mid-mezzanine center with slight price jump but better viewing angles than rear sections.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views - $175-$250)

• ORCHO Rows M-Q ($189-$198): Rear orchestra center with unbeatable sound quality. Rows M-P are under the mezzanine overhang.
• MEZZC Rows B-E ($204-$249): Front mezzanine center - the "goldilocks zone" for Broadway shows with perfect vertical sightlines.
• Mezzanine Left/Right Rows A-B ($234-$254): Front side mezzanine boxes with intimate feel and quick aisle access.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($250+)

• ORCHC Rows L-Q ($256-$326): Center orchestra magic - close enough to see performers sweat. Rows L-M are often celebrity favorites.
• MEZZC Row A ($397-$408): Front mezzanine center - the very best views in the house for musical productions.
• ORCHC Rows AA-B ($387-$459): On-stage proximity for true VIP experience. AA is first row behind pit orchestra.

View Comparison

• Orchestra vs Mezzanine: Orchestra seats (especially Rows A-M) put you at stage level while mezzanine (Rows A-K) provides better overall perspective of choreography.
• Center vs Side: Center sections (ORCHC/MEZZC) have perfect sightlines while side sections (ORCHPV/MEZZPV) offer more intimate, angled views.
• Front Mezzanine Secret: MEZZC Row A actually provides better overall views than many premium orchestra seats at half the price.

Our Top Recommendations

• Budget Pick: MEZZPV Row C ($122) - Incredible value with clear diagonal views
• Best Balance: MEZZC Row H ($132) - Perfect center positioning
• Premium Choice: ORCHC Row M ($326) - The Broadway "sweet spot" for sound and visuals
• Splurge Worthy: ORCHC Row AA ($390) - Feel the energy of the performers

For "The Buena Vista Social Club," we recommend prioritizing center mezzanine seats (MEZZC) as the music and ensemble numbers benefit from the elevated perspective. The theatre's intimate 1,079-seat size means there are no truly bad seats, but the sections above will give you the best experience for your budget.
