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

Best Value Tickets (Under $110)

• Balcony Rows G-H ($101-$107): Solid budget options with decent views. Center sections (BALCONY CENTER) offer the best sightlines at this price point.
• Balcony Rows E-F ($107-$110): Closer than G-H rows with only $3-9 premium. Left/Right sections may have slight viewing angles.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($141-$177)

• Front Balcony Rows A-C ($141-$177): Excellent value - you get front balcony positions for mid-range prices. Center sections (Rows B-C) are particularly good.
• Mezzanine Rear Rows H ($163-$173): First mezzanine level at balcony-like prices. Better legroom and steeper viewing angle than balcony.

Higher Tier Options ($179-$218)

• Mid-Mezzanine Rows E-G ($179-$208): Premium mezzanine seats with clearer stage views. Center sections (MEZZANINE CENTER) are worth the extra $20-30 over side sections.
• Rear Orchestra Rows L-P ($190-$218): First floor seating but further back. Good for patrons who prefer flat floor views over elevated angles.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($278+)

• Front Mezzanine Rows A-C ($297-$342): Arguably the best views in the house - elevated but close with perfect sightlines to the whole stage.
• Front Orchestra Center Rows A/G/H ($383-$473): Most expensive but closest to the stage. Row G is the traditional "golden row" for Broadway theaters.

Viewing Recommendations

• Budget-Conscious: BALCONY CENTER Row H ($101) offers the best value among the cheapest tickets
• Best Mid-Range: BALCONY CENTER Row C ($145) or MEZZANINE CENTER Row H ($163) provide excellent views for reasonable prices
• Premium Experience: MEZZANINE CENTER Row B ($297) combines perfect sightlines with comfortable proximity
• Avoid: Extreme side balcony seats (especially far left/right Rows A-C) may have obstructed views of stage corners

Section Comparison

• Balcony vs Mezzanine: Mezzanine is closer with better rake (slope), while balcony is higher but further back
• Center vs Side: Center sections always have the most direct views, while side sections may save you 10-20%
• Front Rows: In mezzanine/orchestra, front rows (A-C) have no one in front of you but may require looking up slightly

The James Earl Jones Theatre offers excellent sightlines throughout, so even the balcony seats provide good views of this intimate production. For "Real Women Have Curves," which relies heavily on facial expressions and subtle acting, we recommend prioritizing proximity over absolute cheapest price if your budget allows.
