Section Comparison

• Orchestra vs Mezzanine: Orchestra provides closer proximity while mezzanine offers better overall perspective for this dance-heavy production.

• Front Mezzanine: Often considered the "sweet spot" for Broadway shows, providing both elevation and proximity.

Special Notes for This Production

"The Buena Vista Social Club" features extensive musical performances and dance numbers. The mezzanine provides excellent views of the full stage patterns, while orchestra seats offer more intimate connection with the musicians. For the authentic Cuban club atmosphere, consider slightly side seats (MEZZPV/ORCHPV) which mimic the original venue's layout.
