Section Comparison

• Center vs Sides: Center sections (ORCHC/MEZZC) have perfect sightlines while side sections (ORCHO/MEZZO) may miss some extreme stage action.
• Front Mezzanine Warning: Rows A-B in mezzanine may have slight overhang from the balcony above - choose Row C or higher if tall.

Final Tip

For "Buena Vista Social Club," consider spending slightly more for center-left seats (Orchestra Left Rows K-O) to best view the traditional Cuban musical arrangements. The $220-$227 price range offers excellent value in these sections.
