New World Stages: Stage 4 | Best Seats for "The Play That Goes Wrong"
Expert Guide to Stage 4 Seating at New World Stages
As an intimate off-Broadway venue, Stage 4 at New World Stages offers excellent views from nearly every seat. Below is my professional breakdown of the current ticket inventory for "The Play That Goes Wrong" to help you find the perfect balance of price and viewing experience.
Best Value Tickets (Under $110)
- Orchestra Side Row O ($100): Great side-angle view at the lowest price point. Slight side view but excellent for the price.
- Orchestra Side Row J ($105): Closer than Row O with similar side view. Better value than center sections at higher prices.
- Right/Left Orchestra Row J ($107): Slightly better angle than side sections while maintaining good value.
- Orchestra Center Row C ($111): Worth the small premium for dead-center viewing of this physical comedy.
Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)
- ORCHESTRA LEFT Rows K-M ($142-150): Excellent mid-range option. Close enough to see facial expressions but not premium priced.
- Right/Left Orchestra Rows H-J ($107-217): The $107 tickets in these sections offer particularly good value.
- CENTER ORCHESTRA Row B ($187-191): Front-center viewing without the VIP price tag of front row.
Higher Tier Options (Not the Best Deals)
- ORCHESTRA LEFT Rows G-H ($182-202): Very good seats but price jumps significantly from rows K-M.
- Orchestra Center/Right/Left Rows B-F ($191-217): Premium pricing for very good but not exceptional seats.
Premium or Last-Minute Options
- ORCHESTRA Row P ($515): Likely VIP packages at this price point. Only consider if premium experience is a priority.
- ORCHESTRA LEFT Row G ($202): Among the best available seats if budget allows.
Viewing Recommendations
- For this physical comedy, center sections (even slightly farther back) are better than closer side seats.
- Rows C-J offer the ideal balance - close enough for full immersion but far enough to take in all the chaotic stage action.
- Avoid extreme side seats if possible - some sightlines may miss portions of the multi-level set.
- The $100-111 range offers exceptional value for this popular show.
Seating Chart Insights
Stage 4 has just 349 seats arranged in a shallow orchestra with no mezzanine. The entire theater is only 19 rows deep, so even the "back" (Row P) is closer than most Broadway theaters' mid-orchestra.
Final Recommendation
The Orchestra Center Row C at $111 is my top pick - center viewing at reasonable price. For budget-conscious buyers, the Orchestra Side Row O at $100 can't be beat. If available, jump on the Right/Left Orchestra Row J at $107 - these often sell first.
