- MEZZANINE CENTER Row D: $249 - The "goldilocks zone" - not too close, not too far, perfect for animal puppetry.
- Front Mezzanine Rows B-C: $271 - Elevated view avoids any potential head obstruction in orchestra.
VIP/Last-Minute Options ($320+)
- ORCHESTRA CENTER Rows G-L: $313-$447 - Experience the stampede vibration effects most intensely.
- Row A Orchestra: $273 - So close you might feel the mist from the waterfall effects.
View Comparison
- Orchestra vs Mezzanine: Orchestra feels more immersive for jungle scenes, while mezzanine better showcases the full choreography.
- Box Seats: 25° angled views but closest to certain stage effects like the elephant graveyard.
- Front Mezzanine: The only section where you can see both the stage floor patterns and overhead puppets simultaneously.
Pro Tips
- Rows G-K in center mezzanine offer the best value for animal puppetry visibility.
- Avoid far side orchestra seats beyond Row XX - sightlines to Pride Rock become obstructed.
- For "Circle of Life" opening, center seats provide the most dramatic reveal.
- Consider Box seats if you want quicker aisle access during intermission.
Current Best Deals
- 2 LEFT: Box Left Row A at $167 (rare under $170 price)
- 5 AVAILABLE: Mezzanine Row H at $168 (perfect middle-ground seats)
- 4 AVAILABLE: Orchestra Row ZZ at $183 (unobstructed rear orchestra)
The Minskoff's steep mezzanine means even "back" mezzanine seats (Rows K-CC) feel surprisingly close. For first-time viewers, we recommend center mezzanine Rows D-H to appreciate Julie Taymor's visionary puppetry designs.
