Music Box Theatre | "The Picture of Dorian Gray" Seating Guide & Best Value Tickets

Expert Recommendations for Optimal Views at the Music Box Theatre

As an intimate Broadway theater with just 1,025 seats, the Music Box offers excellent sightlines throughout. For "The Picture of Dorian Gray," we recommend center sections in both Orchestra and Mezzanine for the most balanced stage views. Here's our breakdown of the best options at every price point:

🎯 Best Value Tickets (Under $200)

• Mezzanine Center Rows K-L ($170-196): Excellent elevated view with minimal obstruction. Row K is slightly better than L as it's one row closer.
• Mezzanine Right/Left Rows K-L ($181-206): Good side views at a discount. Left side (house right) has slightly better sightlines for this production.
• Box Seats ($210): Unique angled perspective with extra legroom. Best for single attendees or pairs.

💎 Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View: $200-300)

• Mezzanine Center Rows E-H ($225-298): The "goldilocks zone" - close enough for facial expressions yet elevated for full stage pictures.
• Orchestra Rows K-P ($245-295): Solid rear orchestra seats with good rake. Avoid rows M-P if you're under 5'6".
• Mezzanine Front Rows A-D ($223-290): First mezzanine rows provide stunning overhead views.

✨ Premium Seating ($300-450)

• Orchestra Center Rows A-J ($357-422): The coveted "platinum zone" with perfect sightlines. Rows D-G are ideal for this intimate play.
• Front Mezzanine Center ($352-418): For those who prefer a slightly elevated perspective.
• Orchestra Sides Rows B-F ($355-364): Closer side seats with good angles.

🚨 Last-Minute & Special Considerations

• Box Seats: Available at $210 - great for social distancing.
• Orchestra Row AA ($354-447): Front row can be extreme but thrilling.
• Mezzanine Aisle Seats: Look for MEZZO sections - easier access.
• Partial View Alert: Extreme sides in rear mezzanine may miss some upstage action.
