Best Value Tickets (Under $180)

• Rear Mezzanine (Rows C-F): Excellent budget option at $147-$153. While further back, these center-section seats offer good overall views of the stage. Rows C-D provide slightly better angles than E-F.
• Rear Mezzanine Right/Left (Rows B-H): Priced $163-$179, these side sections offer good savings with only minor viewing angle compromises. Row B in these sections is particularly good value.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($180-$250)

• Rear Mezzanine Center (Rows A-G): $190-$240 for the best mezzanine views. Row A here ($284) is worth the upgrade for unobstructed sightlines.
• Orchestra Rear (Rows P-T): $220-$243. While further back, these provide excellent straight-on views. Right/Left Orchestra Rows U offer good value at $243-$252.

Higher Tier Options ($250-$350)

• Mid-Orchestra (Rows J-N): $254-$358. Center sections (ORCHC) offer premium views. Left/Right Orchestra Rows J-L ($254-$358) balance price and location well.
• Front Mezzanine (Rows A-F): $281-$358. The closest balcony seats with excellent overhead views. Center sections (FMEZC) are best, especially Rows D-E at $288.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($350+)

• Front Orchestra (Rows A-H): $375-$505. For the ultimate experience, Center Orchestra Rows A-H ($375-$505) put you closest to the action.
• Premium Mezzanine: Front Mezzanine Rows A-C ($342-$358) in center sections offer intimate balcony views.

View Comparison & Recommendations

• Orchestra vs. Mezzanine: Orchestra seats (especially center) offer closer actor visibility while mezzanine provides better view of choreography and set designs.
• Side Sections: Right/Left Orchestra and Mezzanine have very slight view obstructions at extreme angles, but often at significant savings.
• Front Rows: First few rows in any section (A-C) typically have the best sightlines but come at a premium.

Best Overall Picks

• Budget Choice: Rear Mezzanine Center Row C ($152) - Great balance of price and view
• Mid-Range Pick: Orchestra Right Row J ($254) - Excellent close-up view at fair price
• Premium Selection: Center Orchestra Row A ($375) - Unbeatable Broadway experience

Seating Chart Tips
