Music Box Theatre Seating Guide for "The Picture of Dorian Gray"

Best Value Tickets (Under $200)

For budget-conscious theatergoers, these sections offer excellent views at the lowest prices:

• MEZZO Rows J-L ($170-171): Center mezzanine with straight-on stage views. Row J is particularly valuable as front mezzanine at balcony prices.
• Mezzanine Right Rows J-L ($179-181): Slight angle but minimal obstruction. Perfect if you prefer being closer to stage-left action.
• BOX50 ($210): Private box seating with unique angled perspective - great for couples wanting intimacy.

Sweet Spot Tickets ($190-250)

The best balance of price and viewing quality:

• MEZZO Rows E-F ($190): 5-6 rows closer than budget options with identical center positioning.
• MEZZC Rows K-L ($190-191): Dead-center mezzanine seats - the "goldilocks zone" for serious theater fans.
• ORCHO Rows K-P ($245-253): Rear orchestra at mezzanine prices. Rows M-P are ideal for seeing full stage pictures.

Higher Tier Options ($275-360)

• ORCHESTRA RIGHT Rows N-O ($275-277): Premium side seating with excellent legroom and quick aisle access.
• MEZZANINE CENTER Rows G-H ($276-298): Front mezzanine center - the most coveted non-premium seats.
• ORCHO Rows A-D ($357-366): Mid-orchestra center - close enough to see facial expressions clearly.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($370+)

• ORCHC Row AA ($370-372): Front row center - you'll feel part of the performance. Worth splurging for special occasions.
• MEZZC Rows A-B ($548-557): Box-style front mezzanine with velvet railings - the most luxurious balcony experience.
• ORCHC Rows A-D ($557-562): Center orchestra premium - these often appear last-minute when production holds are released.

View Comparison

• Orchestra vs Mezzanine: Orchestra (Rows A-J) puts you eye-level with performers while mezzanine provides better perspective for scenic designs.
• Side Sections: Mezzanine Left/Right have slight viewing angles but often better prices than center sections just a few seats over.
• Front Rows: First 3 rows of any section may require slight neck craning - consider rows D-H for most comfortable viewing.

Pro Tips

• The Music Box has excellent acoustics - even rear mezzanine seats hear perfectly.
• For group bookings, MEZZO Rows J-L offer 7+ contiguous seats at great prices.
• Check daily for ORCHC releases - production often holds prime seats for critics that get resold.
• Avoid extreme far side boxes (BOX1/BOX8) which have partial obstructions.
