Nederlander Theatre | "Redwood" Seating Guide & Best Ticket Values

Expert Recommendations for the Best Views at Every Price Point

The Nederlander Theatre offers three main seating areas for "Redwood": Orchestra (ground level), Mezzanine (first balcony), and Front Mezzanine (closest mezzanine rows). This historic Broadway theater has excellent sightlines throughout, but some sections offer particularly strong value. Below are my expert picks categorized by budget and viewing priorities.

Best Value Tickets (Under $120)

• Mezzanine Left Row O ($94) - Rare sub-$100 tickets with surprisingly good angled views of the stage (6 available)
• Mezzanine Rows M-O ($108-$115) - Center mezzanine seats at 20% discount vs comparable orchestra seats
• Mezzanine Right/Left Row P ($115-$116) - Back mezzanine but elevated for solid overview (multiple groups available)

Why these? The Nederlander's steep mezzanine design means even "cheap seats" have clear sightlines over heads. Rows M-P are far enough back to take in the full stage picture.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price: $120-$170)

• Mezzanine Center Rows K-N ($139-$173) - Prime dead-center views with minimal distortion (best: Row L at $168)
• Orchestra Right Rows P-Q ($139-$148) - Side orchestra but close enough for actor facial expressions
• Mezzanine Left Row E ($153) - Front mezzanine at mid-price point (only 4 available)

Pro Tip: Mezzanine Center Row K ($172) offers the best balance - close enough to see detail but high enough for full stage perspectives crucial for "Redwood"'s vertical set design.

Higher Tier Options ($170-$250)

• Orchestra Left Rows K-M ($167-$178) - Premium left-side seating with excellent proximity
• Mezzanine Rows B-G ($168-$225) - Front mezzanine seats with railing views (Row D at $220 is standout)
• Orchestra Right Row J ($213) - Rare near-center orchestra at this price (only 2 available)

View Note: The $220 Orchestra Left Row H tickets are particularly valuable - just 6 rows back with a straight-on view of the stage's intricate treehouse set.

Premium & Last-Minute Seats ($250+)

• Orchestra Center Rows G-H ($460-$463) - The absolute best views in the house (very limited)
• Front Mezzanine Row B ($239-$261) - Closest mezzanine seats with perfect vertical sightlines
• Orchestra Row Q ($646) - Last-row center orchestra (surprisingly good for this show's staging)

Key View Differences

• Orchestra vs Mezzanine: Orchestra seats under Row M are best for seeing facial expressions, while mezzanine provides better perspective on the towering set pieces
• Side Sections: Left side (house right) has slightly better views of key set elements in "Redwood"
• Front Mezzanine: Rows A-F eliminate the overhang effect and feel surprisingly close

Best Overall Picks

• Budget Choice: Mezzanine Left Row O ($94) - unbeatable value
• Mid-Range Star: Mezzanine Center Row L ($168) - perfect balance
• Splurge Worthy: Orchestra Left Row H ($220) - immersive experience

Seating Chart Tip

The Nederlander's seating is narrower than modern theaters - consider paying slightly more for aisle seats (marked with odd seat numbers on left, even on right) if you need extra legroom.
