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

Smart Seat Selection for Broadway's James Earl Jones Theatre

Discover the best seats for "Real Women Have Curves" at this historic Broadway venue. Our seating guide highlights value options, premium views, and hidden gems in the Balcony, Mezzanine, and Orchestra sections—with detailed notes on sightlines and pricing tiers.

🎯 Best Value Tickets (Under $120)

• Balcony Rows G-H ($101-$118): Solid budget choice. Center sections (BALCONY CENTER) offer better alignment with the stage than side sections. Row G has slightly better elevation over Row H.
• Balcony Row E ($110): 3 rows closer than G-H with only $9-17 premium. Left/Right sides may have minor viewing angles but still solid sightlines.

💎 Sweet Spot (Best Price/View Balance - $140-$180)

• Balcony Rows B-C ($141-$145): Front-of-balcony with dramatically better views than rear balcony. Center sections are worth the $4-8 premium over sides.
• Mezzanine Rows G-H ($173-$179): First mezzanine tier provides clearer facial expressions visibility than balcony. Left/Right sides maintain good angles here.

🔝 Higher Tier Options ($190-$250)

• Orchestra Rows L-P ($190-$218): Side orchestra (LEFT/RIGHT) seats have good value. Center Orchestra N-P offers premium mid-house positioning.
• Mezzanine Rows E-F ($193-$208): Front mezzanine delivers arguably the theatre's best overall views, especially for ensemble scenes.

✨ Premium & Last-Minute Splurges ($280+)

• Mezzanine Rows B-C ($297): "Goldilocks zone" - close enough for actor details but elevated for full stage perspective.
• Orchestra Center Rows A/G/H ($383-$473): For ultimate VIP experience. Row A may be too close for full stage view; Rows G-H are ideal centerline positions.

View Comparison Key

• Balcony: Steep angle but full stage visibility. Rear rows may miss subtle facial expressions.
• Mezzanine: Perfect balance of elevation and proximity. Front rows (B-F) rival orchestra views.
• Orchestra: Best for seeing actor details. Beyond Row P loses some intimacy; side sections have slight viewing angles.

Our Top 3 Recommendations

1. Budget Pick: Balcony Center Row E ($110) - Best entry-level view
2. Value King: Mezzanine Center Row G ($181) - Premium experience at mid-range price
3. Splurge Worthy: Mezzanine Center Row C ($297) - Arguably the theatre's optimal seating tier

Pro Tips

• Balcony side sections (Left/Right) have 5-10° viewing angles - fine for most but avoid extreme side seats
• Orchestra rows AA-A are very close - better for musicals than dramatic plays
• Mezzanine overhangs begin at Row H - nothing critical is obscured but some ceiling details may be hidden
