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

Best Value Tickets (Under $200)

• Mezzanine Left/Right Rows L-K ($179-$181): Excellent side-view seats with only slight angle to stage. Rows L offer best value, with minimal difference in view from pricier center sections.
• BOX50 Box Seats ($210): Intimate experience with unique angled perspective. Limited availability (only 3 seats total) but good legroom.

Sweet Spot Seating (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Mezzanine Center Rows J-L ($204-$231): Direct center views with optimal elevation to appreciate staging. Row J at $226 is particularly strong value.
• MEZZO Rows E-J ($195-$231): Front mezzanine sections with clear sightlines. Row E at $204 provides near-front mezzanine experience at discount.

Premium Orchestra Options

• Center Orchestra Rows P-AA ($297-$444): The classic Broadway experience. Rows P ($297) offer good value in this section - far enough back to take in full stage picture.
• Orchestra Sides Rows E-G ($283-$358): Closer proximity to stage at moderate prices. Right Orchestra Row F at $297 is standout for actor facial expressions.

View Comparison

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine (especially center) provides better view of intricate stage designs. Orchestra better for intimate actor moments.
• Front Mezzanine (Rows A-E): Steep angle may require slight neck tilt but unmatched overall perspective.
• Box Seats: Unique vantage point but partial view of upstage areas. Best for immersive experience rather than perfect sightlines.

Last-Minute & Premium Picks

• ORCHC Rows A-C ($496-$678): Ultimate premium experience - center orchestra close enough to see costume details.
• MEZZC Rows A-B ($651): Front-center mezzanine for those who prefer elevated view without distance.
• Last-Minute Deals: Watch for price drops on ORCHO Row M ($557) and MEZZO Row C ($562) as show dates approach.

Pro Tips

• The Music Box's shallow mezzanine means even Row L feels close - don't overpay for minor row upgrades.
• Left orchestra sections (ORCHO) often run $20-$50 cheaper than equivalent right side seats with nearly identical views.
• For groups of 4, Mezzanine Left/Right Row L at $179 is our top recommendation for value.
• Avoid extreme side mezzanine beyond Row H - sightlines become obstructed.

Final Recommendation

For most attendees, we suggest the Mezzanine Center Row J ($226) for perfect balance of price and view. Budget-conscious buyers should jump on Mezzanine Row L ($179), while premium seekers will find ORCHC Row AA ($422) delivers Broadway magic at slightly below top-tier prices.
