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

Best Value Tickets (Under $150)

• Balcony Center Rows H-G ($101-$115): Solid mid-balcony views with minimal obstruction. Row H offers the lowest prices, while Row G provides slightly better sightlines for $10-15 more.
• Balcony Side Rows H-G ($115-$117): Left/Right sections have angled stage views but maintain good visibility of the entire performance. Ideal for budget-conscious buyers.
• Balcony Rows E ($122): Front balcony seats with clearer facial expressions visibility - best value in this price tier.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price - $150-$200)

• Front Balcony Rows A-C ($144-$163): Closest balcony seats with premium elevation. Center Section A offers direct sightlines comparable to some mezzanine seats at half the price.
• Orchestra Rear Rows H-J ($197): Floor seating with full-stage views, though distant. Perfect for those who prefer being at stage level over balcony elevation.

Higher Tier Options ($200-$300)

• Mezzanine Center Rows G-H ($219-$221): The theater's "goldilocks zone" - excellent vertical and horizontal sightlines. Row G provides slightly better angles over the rail.
• Orchestra Middle Rows M-P ($265-$284): Solid mid-orchestra positioning. Note that Row P has more legroom but similar views to front mezzanine at lower prices.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($300+)

• Front Mezzanine Rows A-C ($318-$356): Unparalleled overhead views with actor facial expressions clearly visible. Center B is arguably the best seat in the house.
• Orchestra AA/A ($318-$411): True VIP experience. AA puts you just 15 feet from the stage - perfect for immersive theater lovers.

View Differences & Recommendations

• Balcony vs. Mezzanine: The mezzanine provides 20% closer views than similarly-priced orchestra rear seats, while the balcony offers steeper angles better for viewing choreography.
• Side Sections: Left/Right seats in all levels have slightly obstructed views of far-stage action but often cost 15-20% less than center equivalents.
• Best for Groups: Balcony Center Row H has 6 available seats at $102 - the largest block of discounted tickets available.
• Date Night Pick: Mezzanine Center Row E ($284) offers romantic center-section seating with perfect sightlines.

Pro Tips

• The James Earl Jones Theatre has a shallow balcony overhang - avoid rows A-C if you're over 6' tall
• Orchestra seats beyond Row M may require looking up at the stage due to the flat floor
• Mezzanine Row E is the first row without an aisle walkway obstruction
• Prices typically drop 10-15% for weekday performances
