Gershwin Theatre
Since its grand opening in 1972, the Gershwin Theatre has stood as a beacon of Broadway, named in honor of the legendary Gershwin brothers, George and Ira, whose contributions to American music are unparalleled. As one of Broadway's largest venues, it boasts a seating capacity of 1,933, offering an unparalleled experience for theatergoers, including the luxury of enjoying snacks from the comfort of their box seats, which provide an exclusive vantage point away from the main seating area. The theatre has been a stage for revolutionary productions and choreography, making it a cornerstone of New York's theatrical scene. Notably, it's the proud home of 'Wicked New York,' a spectacle that continues to draw crowds with its mesmerizing performances. Beyond entertainment, the Gershwin Theatre is committed to outreach, bringing the magic of theater to underserved communities. Whether you're coming from the Brooklyn Museum via the subway to 42nd Avenue or taking a leisurely walk from the Museum of Modern Art NYC, the Gershwin Theatre, especially during its 'Wicked New York' run, promises an unforgettable experience.
Gershwin Theatre Seating Guide for Wicked - Best Seats & Value Tickets
Expert Recommendations for the Best Views at Every Price Point
As one of Broadway's largest theaters, the Gershwin Theatre offers diverse seating options for Wicked. Below is my professional analysis of the current ticket inventory, highlighting the best value sections, sweet spots, and premium options to help you choose the perfect seats.
Best Value Tickets ($160-$210)
- MEZZANINE Row J ($160): Excellent mid-mezzanine value with clear stage views (slightly angled perspective). Best budget option.
- CENTER RMEZZ Row H ($179-$183): 8-ticket blocks available. Rear mezzanine center provides straight-on view of the full stage.
- ORCHST Rows X-ZZ ($221): Stadium-style orchestra seating with elevated sightlines - avoids overhang issues of rear mezzanine.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price, $221-$253)
- Mezzanine Center Rows F-G ($221-$227): Front mezzanine center offers the best balance of price and view quality.
- ORCHESTRA CENTER Row W ($232): Rare center orchestra find at this price point - typically sells for $300+.
- Front Mezzanine Rows B-C ($248-$253): Closest mezzanine seats with immersive view of the flying effects.
Higher Tier Options ($265-$386)
- Orchestra Rows E-K ($265-$386): Premium side orchestra seating. Right side (E-K) has better view of Elphaba's scenes.
- Front Mezzanine Row A ($296-$298): First row mezzanine eliminates any obstruction from railings.
- ORCHESTRA CENTER Rows G-J ($404-$415): Prime center orchestra with perfect sightlines to all stage action.
Premium & Last-Minute Options ($470-$758)
- Orchestra Center Rows C-D ($470-$473): Ultra-close to stage while maintaining full view of flying sequences.
- ORCHESTRA Row A ($637): Front row experience - see facial expressions and costume details.
- ORCHESTRA Row N ($758): Premium center orchestra - most expensive but best overall views in the house.
View Comparison Between Key Sections
- Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine (especially front) better for appreciating full stage visuals and flying effects. Orchestra better for facial expressions.
- Front Mezzanine Rows A-C: No overhang, closer to stage than rear orchestra, but slightly steeper angle.
- ORCHST (Stadium Orchestra): Elevated view similar to mezzanine but with orchestra-level proximity.
- Side Seating: Left side (house right) favors Glinda scenes, right side favors Elphaba's story.
Professional Recommendation
For first-time viewers, I recommend the Mezzanine Center Rows F-G ($221) or ORCHESTRA CENTER Row W ($232) for the best balance of price and view quality. Seasoned fans will appreciate the Front Mezzanine Row A ($298) for its immersive perspective on the flying sequences. The CENTER RMEZZ Row H ($179) offers exceptional value for groups of 8.
Special Notes for Wicked
- Avoid extreme side mezzanine seats (beyond AA-EE) as they may miss some projections
- Rows A-C in orchestra center may require slight neck tilt for flying scenes
- Rear mezzanine rows M-N may have slight overhang from balcony above
- For best acoustics, aim for center sections within rows G-W
