TicketHold | Gershwin Theatre Seating Chart Guide – Best Seats & Views

Your Ultimate Guide to the Gershwin Theatre Seating Plan

The Gershwin Theatre, Broadway’s largest venue, is home to legendary productions like Wicked. Its grand scale and immersive design demand careful seat selection for the best experience. This guide breaks down every section—from orchestra to balcony—with pros, cons, and insider tips.

Gershwin Theatre Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra (Front Center): Unmatched closeness to the stage, ideal for detail-oriented viewers. Rows A–F may require slight neck tilting.
• Mezzanine (Mid-Level): Elevated sightlines perfect for appreciating choreography. Center sections (Rows A–C) offer the best balance of proximity and panorama.
• Balcony (Upper Tier): Budget-friendly with surprisingly clear views, though distant for facial expressions. Avoid side sections (obstructed angles).

Best Seats for Different Events

• Musicals (e.g., Wicked): Mezzanine center, Rows B–D—captures both flying effects and stage details.
• Plays: Orchestra Rows G–M—optimal audio clarity and actor immersion.
• Family Shows: Balcony front (Rows A–B)—affordable yet engaging for kids.

VIP & Accessibility Options

• Premium Seats: Rows AA–FF (pit seating) with legroom and exclusive lounge access.
• Wheelchair Spaces: Designated areas in Orchestra and Mezzanine with companion seating.
• Sensory-Friendly: Adjustable lighting/sound upon request for select performances.

Pro Tips for Seat Selection

• Use 3D seat maps (like TicketHold’s) to preview sightlines.
• Side Orchestra seats (Sections 3/8) often cost 20% less with minimal compromise.
• For tall attendees, avoid Mezzanine overhangs in Rows E–F.
