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

Expert Tips for the Best Seats at the Best Prices

The intimate Music Box Theatre offers excellent views from nearly every seat, but some sections provide better value than others for this production. Below you'll find our expert breakdown of the best ticket options for "The Picture of Dorian Gray," with recommendations based on price, view quality, and availability.

Best Value Tickets (Under $200)

• MEZZO Rows J-L ($169-$170): Excellent mid-mezzanine value. Row J has just 2 tickets left at $169 - snap these up quickly as they're disappearing fast.
• MEZZC Rows J-L ($190-$193): Center mezzanine seats with perfect head-on views. Only slightly more than side mezzanine but significantly better angles.
• MEZZO Row E ($190): 8 tickets available in this premium mezzanine row at a bargain price - unusually good availability for this sought-after row.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

• MEZZO Rows B-C ($218-$223): Front mezzanine at reasonable prices. Row B has 7 tickets at $218 - our top recommendation for budget-conscious buyers wanting premium views.
• MEZZC Rows G-H ($218-$223): Center mezzanine in rows close enough to see facial expressions clearly. Particularly good for those who want the classic Broadway view.
• BOX50 ($210): Unique box seats with private, angled views. Only 1 ticket remains in each box (LA, RA, LB, RB) - perfect for solo attendees wanting a distinctive experience.

Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)

• ORCHO Rows J-M ($245-$253): Side orchestra with excellent proximity to stage. Rows K-N offer particularly good value in this section.
• Mezzanine Center Rows H-K ($276-$298): The very best mezzanine seats. Row H at $276 is worth the upgrade for perfect sightlines.
• ORCHC Rows O-P ($292-$311): Rear center orchestra - the most desirable orchestra seats still available at reasonable prices.

Premium & Last-Minute Options

• ORCHO Rows A-C ($357-$369): Front side orchestra - you'll feel part of the action. Row C at $369 is actually better value than Rows A-B as it's slightly elevated.
• ORCHC Rows AA-A ($372-$441): The legendary front center orchestra seats. Row AA at $372 is surprisingly available - these usually sell first.
• MEZZC Rows A-B ($548-$557): Front center mezzanine - the absolute best views in the house. Only 2-4 tickets remain in these premium rows.

View Comparison & Recommendations

Mezzanine vs Orchestra:

• The Music Box's mezzanine provides better overall views than many Broadway theaters. Front mezzanine (Rows A-C) often surpasses rear orchestra for visibility.
• Orchestra seats beyond Row P may feel too far back, while mezzanine rows A-C maintain excellent sightlines.

Center vs Side Sections:

• MEZZC (center) commands a 10-15% premium over MEZZO (side) but provides perfectly straight views.
• Side orchestra (ORCHO) rows E-K offer exceptional value with only slight angling.

Our Top 3 Picks

1. MEZZO Row B ($218): Best combination of price and view quality with 7 tickets available.
2. MEZZC Row H ($223): Center mezzanine at just $5 more than side sections - the smart upgrade.
3. ORCHO Row K ($251): For those who prefer orchestra, these side seats provide excellent proximity at reasonable cost.

Special Notes

• The $169 MEZZO tickets are disappearing quickly - act fast if you want these best-value seats.
• Box seats provide a unique experience but have partially obstructed views - best for ambiance seekers.
• Front mezzanine (Rows A-C) typically sells out first - good availability currently makes these premium rows unusually accessible.
