Imperial Theatre | "Smash" Broadway Show Seating Guide & Best Ticket Values
Expert Recommendations for the Best Views at Every Price Point
The Imperial Theatre's unique horseshoe design offers excellent sightlines from nearly every section. Below is my curated guide to help you find the perfect balance of price and view quality for "Smash" at this historic Broadway venue.
Best Value Tickets (Under $200)
- Rear Mezzanine Rows C-F ($146-$147): Surprisingly good sightlines with minimal obstruction. Rows C-D offer the best value in this range.
- Rear Mezzanine Right/Left Center Rows E-H ($153-$179): Angled toward center stage with only slightly restricted side views.
- Pro Tip: Rows E-F in RMEZZ provide 85% of the view at 60% of orchestra prices.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price, $200-$275)
- Rear Mezzanine Center Rows A-G ($204-$284): Direct center views with perfect elevation to see choreography patterns.
- Orchestra Rows Q-T ($220-$273): Rear orchestra still offers great proximity - ideal if you prefer being level with the stage.
- Key Difference: $50-75 more than rear mezzanine but with better sound projection.
Higher Tier Options ($275-$350)
- Front Mezzanine Rows A-F ($281-$358): The "goldilocks zone" - close enough to see facial expressions with ideal vertical sightlines.
- Orchestra Center Rows J-P ($259-$358): Premium sound quality and immersion. Rows L-M are the acoustic sweet spot.
- View Note: Front mezzanine Row B has better rake than Row A for clear sightlines over heads.
Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($350+)
- Orchestra Center Rows A-E ($375-$505): Unparalleled proximity - see every costume detail and actor's breathing.
- Front Mezzanine Center Rows A-B ($418): Perfect overhead view of complex dance numbers.
- Warning: First 3 rows orchestra may require slight neck craning for full-stage views.
Section Comparison Highlights
- Rear Mezzanine Left vs Right: Mirror images - choose based on entry aisle preference.
- Orchestra Side vs Center: Side sections lose about 5% of extreme stage views but save $75-$150.
- Front vs Rear Mezzanine: Front provides 20% closer view but at 40% higher cost on average.
My Top 3 Recommendations
- Budget Pick: RMEZZ Row D ($146) - Best dollar-to-view ratio
- Balanced Choice: Front Mezzanine Right Center Row B ($297) - Perfect compromise
- Splurge Worthy: Orchestra Center Row L ($365) - The definitive Broadway experience
View Considerations
The Imperial's shallow mezzanine overhang means even rear mezzanine seats maintain good sightlines. For "Smash," which features tall set pieces, mezzanine seats actually provide better vertical sightlines than mid-orchestra for appreciating the full staging.
