Music Box Theatre | "The Picture of Dorian Gray" Seating Guide & Ticket Recommendations

Best Value Tickets (Under $200)

• MEZZO Section Rows J-L ($166-$171): Excellent mid-mezzanine view with minimal obstruction. Row J offers the best value at $166 - you'll see facial expressions clearly while saving over $100 compared to orchestra seats.
• Mezzanine Right Row J ($181): Slight angle but unobstructed view of the stage. Perfect for budget-conscious buyers who want center-mezz perspective.

Sweet Spot Tickets (Best Balance of Price & View - $190-$250)

• MEZZO Rows E-G ($190-$194): Closer mezzanine seating with steeper elevation for superior sightlines over orchestra heads. Row E at $194 is particularly good for catching subtle stage details.
• BOX50 Box Seats ($210): Intimate side boxes with unique angled perspective - best for couples. LB/RB boxes have slightly better center views than LA/RA.
• ORCHO Rows P/J ($251): Rear orchestra seats with full stage view. Row P has easier legroom while Row J puts you closer to the action.

Higher Tier Options ($275-$360)

• Mezzanine Center Rows G-H ($276-$311): Premium mezzanine positions with dead-center views. Row G at $276 offers the clearest overhead perspective of stage patterns.
• ORCHO Rows F-H ($285-$288): Mid-orchestra seats with ideal elevation. Row F at $288 provides the "director's view" - you'll see all stage levels perfectly.
• Left/Right Orchestra Rows J-K ($306): Close proximity with slight angle. Better for experiencing actor proximity than pure visual perfection.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($370+)

• Center Orchestra AA ($372-$444): Front row experience with actor intimacy. AA seats at $372 are 20ft from the stage - you'll hear every whisper but may miss some overhead lighting effects.
• MEZZANINE CENTER Row H ($374): The "golden seat" of mezzanine - directly centered with perfect vertical sightline to catch all stage details.
• ORCHC Row A ($411-$496): Ultimate premium seats. Row A at $411 puts you in the first center orchestra row - expect to see costume details and make eye contact with performers.

View Comparison & Recommendations

• Mezzanine vs Orchestra: Mezzanine (especially center) offers better overall perspective for this dialogue-heavy play, while orchestra provides immersion.
• Front Mezzanine Warning: Rows A-C in mezzanine may have slight overhang obstruction from the balcony above.
• Best for Groups: MEZZO Row J has 6+ tickets available at $166 - unbeatable value for small groups.
• Date Night Pick: BOX50 seats at $210 offer private, romantic viewing experience.
• Accessibility Note: ORCHO rows P-O provide easiest wheelchair access with no steps.

Pro Tips for This Venue

• The Music Box has a shallow orchestra - even rear orchestra (Row P) is closer than most Broadway theaters
• Mezzanine center seats between Rows E-H offer Broadway's famous "sweet spot" view
• Avoid extreme side sections (Left/Right beyond Box 50) for this visually-rich production
• Check the overhang chart - Rows A-C in mezzanine may lose some ceiling effects
