James Earl Jones Theatre | "Real Women Have Curves" Seating Guide & Best Ticket Values

Smart Seat Selection for Broadway's James Earl Jones Theatre

This historic Broadway theater offers three main levels - Orchestra, Mezzanine, and Balcony - with distinct viewing experiences. Below we break down the best value tickets, sweet spots, and premium options for "Real Women Have Curves" based on current availability and pricing.

Best Value Tickets ($101-$110)

• Balcony Rows G-H: Center sections offer straight-on views despite higher elevation (Rows G-H at $101-$107). Side balcony seats (Left/Right) in these rows provide slight angles but excellent value.
• Balcony Rows E-F: Closer than G-H at only $3-$9 more. Row E center ($110) is particularly strong for price-to-view ratio.
• Note: Balcony seating is steeply raked, so even rear rows have good sightlines over heads in front.

Sweet Spot Seats ($141-$181)

• Front Balcony (Rows A-C): Rows B-C at $141-$145 put you at balcony front with unobstructed views. Center sections recommended.
• Rear Mezzanine (Rows H-G): Mezzanine Center Row H ($163) offers the first elevated view point. Mezzanine Row G center ($181) begins the premium mezzanine pricing tier.
• Orchestra Rear (Rows L-P): Orchestra Rows N-P ($190-$204) provide full-stage perspective. Ideal for viewers who prefer stage-level seating.

Higher Tier Options ($193-$297)

• Mid-Orchestra (Rows F-J): Orchestra Rows H-J ($193-$197) offer closer views but at 2x balcony prices. Left/Right sides have slight viewing angles.
• Front Mezzanine (Rows A-F): Mezzanine Rows B-E ($193-$297) provide arguably the theater's best sightlines. Center sections in Rows B-C ($297) are premium but often sell first.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($342-$473)

• Front Mezzanine Center (Row A): At $342, these are the "golden seats" with perfect vertical and horizontal sightlines.
• Front Orchestra Center (Rows A/G-H): Row A ($383) and Rows G-H ($473) put you closest to the stage action. Only recommended for ultimate fans.

View Comparison & Recommendations

• Balcony vs Mezzanine: Mezzanine provides better vertical sightlines (steeper rake) than Orchestra but higher than Balcony. Balcony center views are surprisingly good for the price.
• Side Sections: Left/Right sections in all levels have angled views - more noticeable for extreme side Orchestra seats.
• Best Overall Value: Balcony Center Rows E-F ($110-$107) or Mezzanine Center Row H ($163) offer optimal balance of price and view.
• Group Tip: Multiple Balcony Center Row H tickets available at $101-$102 - great for groups wanting seated together.

Final Booking Advice

For "Real Women Have Curves", which features intimate dialogue and character moments, we recommend prioritizing clear sightlines to actors' faces. The Mezzanine provides this best, but budget-conscious buyers will find excellent value in the Balcony center sections. Book early for best seat selection in premium price ranges.
