James Earl Jones Theatre Seating Guide for "Real Women Have Curves"

Best Value Tickets (Under $120)

• BALCONY CENTER Row H ($101-102) - Great budget option with surprisingly good sightlines to the stage despite being rear balcony. Best for groups (4-6 tickets available).
• BALCONY LEFT/Right Row G ($116-118) - Side balcony but closer than center H row. Slight angle view but excellent value.

Sweet Spot Tickets (Best Balance of Price & View: $120-160)

• Balcony Rows E ($122) - Center and side options at this price point. Row E is the balcony "goldilocks zone" - high enough for overview but not too distant.
• BALCONY CENTER Row C ($159) - Front balcony center section. The premium balcony seats with near-mezzanine views at balcony prices.

Higher Tier Options ($160-250)

• ORCHESTRA Rows H-J ($197) - Rear orchestra but unobstructed. Perfect if you prefer stage-level viewing over balcony angles.
• MEZZANINE CENTER Rows G-H ($218-221) - The classic Broadway sweet spot. Elevated view with perfect sightlines to the entire stage.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($250+)

• CENTER ORCHESTRA Rows M-P ($265-284) - True premium orchestra seating. Rows M-P are ideal for seeing facial expressions while maintaining full-stage perspective.
• FRONT MEZZANINE Rows A-C ($318-356) - The best views in the house. Front mezzanine provides the perfect balance of elevation and proximity.

View Comparison

• Balcony vs. Mezzanine: Balcony is steeper with slightly more distant views. Mezzanine offers clearer sightlines but at 2-3x the price.
• Center vs. Side: Center sections (BALCONY CENTER/MEZZANINE CENTER) provide straight-on views. Side sections (LEFT/RIGHT) have angled perspectives but often better prices.
• Orchestra Note: Rows H-P are excellent for seeing full stage pictures, while front orchestra (Rows A-G) puts you nearly on-stage with the performers.

Seating Chart Tips

The James Earl Jones Theatre has a relatively intimate layout with only 1,100 seats. Even the rear balcony offers decent views, though the front mezzanine provides the most balanced perspective. For "Real Women Have Curves," which features intimate dialogue and emotional performances, center sections (orchestra or mezzanine) are ideal for catching all the nuance.
