As a Broadway theatre with excellent sightlines, the James Earl Jones Theatre offers three main sections: Orchestra (ground level), Mezzanine (first balcony), and Balcony (upper level). Below is a detailed breakdown of current ticket options for "Real Women Have Curves" with recommendations based on value, view quality, and pricing.

Best Value Tickets (Under $150)

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Mezzanine Center Rows G-H ($197-$221): The theatre's hidden gem - elevated but close with perfect sightlines to the entire stage.
• Orchestra Side Rows F-J ($197-$199): Good ground-level seats at reasonable prices, though slightly angled.

Higher Tier Options (Better Views, Higher Prices)

• Mezzanine Center Rows E-F ($271-$278): Front mezzanine provides the best overall perspective of choreography.

Premium & Last-Minute Options

• Splurge Worthy: Mezzanine Center Row B ($297) - premium experience without orchestra prices
