• Orchestra Premium View Rows C-M ($138): Side orchestra with slight angle but proximity to stage (great for seeing facial expressions).

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price) ($149-$190)

• Orchestra Rows Q-S ($146-$159): Rear center orchestra - ideal balance of price and view depth for this music-heavy show.
• Mezzanine Left/Right Rows E-G ($149-$172): Front side mezzanine with sharper angles but closer proximity.
• Orchestra Rows O-P ($188-$190): Mid-rear orchestra center - optimal sound quality for Afro-Cuban rhythms.

Higher Tier Options ($204-$260)

• Orchestra Center Rows N-Q ($204-$260): Prime viewing distance - can see both footwork and ensemble patterns clearly.
• Front Mezzanine Center Rows B-E ($204-$258): Best overall vantage point for choreography appreciation.
• Orchestra Rows K-M ($220-$259): Close enough to feel the percussion vibrations from the stage.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($273+)

• Orchestra Rows A-C ($386-$459): On-stage proximity lets you see costume details and musician techniques.
• Front Mezzanine Row A ($408): Unobstructed overhead view of complex dance formations.
• Orchestra AA (First Row): ($400-$459): Feet-on-stage experience with possible artist interaction.

View Comparison

• Orchestra vs Mezzanine: Orchestra better for intimacy, mezzanine better for overall patterns
• Front Mezzanine: Rows A-C have minimal overhang obstruction
• Side Sections: Left side (house right) has better view of piano/bass players

Pro Tips

• For groups of 6+: Mezzanine Rows H-J ($117) offer best availability
• Sound enthusiasts: Aim for center seats between rows J-Q
• Last-minute deals often appear for Mezzanine Rows K-L
• Avoid far right orchestra beyond Row S - partial view of upstage left

Why These Tickets?

The Gerald Schoenfeld's shallow mezzanine and wide orchestra make even "value" seats enjoyable. For this music-driven show, we prioritize clear sightlines to percussionists and dancers over absolute proximity. Our selections balance Broadway's typical premium for center sections with the authentic sightline experience.
