Lunt-Fontanne Theatre Seating Guide for "Death Becomes Her"

Best Value Tickets (Under $100)

For budget-conscious theatergoers, the Rear Mezzanine sections (Rows L-N) at $88 offer solid views of the entire stage. While these are the highest seats, the Lunt-Fontanne's steep mezzanine design ensures good sightlines. The slight side angles in Left/Right sections don't obstruct views for this production.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($100-$150)

• Middle Mezzanine Rows J-K ($100-$129): Excellent balance of price and view quality. Center-Left sections (K128-K129) provide particularly good angles.
• Orchestra Rear Center (Rows WW-YY $132-$171): Surprisingly available at mid-range prices. Row WW center offers full-stage visibility with only slight distance.
• Mezzanine Front Rows D-F ($149-$154): Closest mezzanine seats before premium pricing kicks in.

Higher Tier Options ($150-$250)

✨ Premium Views Worth Considering:

• Orchestra Center Rows V-Y ($212): The "golden middle" - close enough for facial expressions but far enough for full stage perspective.
• Front Mezzanine Center Rows A-D ($238-$256): Arguably the best overall views in the house, especially for appreciating the show's visual effects.
• Orchestra Side Rows U ($200): Good proximity but slightly angled views. Best for right-side seats which face more stage action in this production.

Premium & Last-Minute Options ($250+)

• Orchestra Center Rows M-P ($265-$271): Exceptional closeness to the stage with perfect sightlines. Row M at $271 is a relative bargain in this section.
• Orchestra Front Center Rows B-F ($372-$407): Ultimate VIP experience. Note that Row B at $407 actually provides better legroom than more expensive front rows.
• ORCH Center Rows K-L ($480-$505): Only consider if you must be in the first 5 rows - the price premium is significant.

View Comparison & Recommendations

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: The mezzanine provides better overall perspective for this effects-heavy show, while orchestra seats excel for actor intimacy.
• Side Sections: Left mezzanine (Sections 1-3) has slightly better sightlines than right for this production's staging.
• Row Notes: In orchestra, odd-numbered seats (1,3,5 etc.) are generally preferable for center-facing views.

Best Overall Value Picks

1. Middle Mezzanine Left Center Row K ($129): 85% of premium view at 40% of front orchestra prices.
2. Orchestra Center Row WW ($132): Surprisingly available center orchestra at mezzanine prices.
3. Front Mezzanine Center Row D ($238): The show's effects are best appreciated from this vantage point.

Pro Tips

• The $88 rear mezzanine tickets are an absolute steal if you're comfortable with height.
• Watch for last-minute drops in Front Mezzanine Right seats, which often get discounted.
• Avoid extreme side orchestra seats beyond Row XX - sightlines become obstructed.
• For groups of 4+, the Rear Mezzanine blocks at $88 offer the best per-person value.
