Richard Rodgers Theatre Seating Guide for Hamilton

Best Value Tickets (Under $200)

• Mezzanine Left/Right (Rows L): $183-195 - Excellent side views with minimal obstruction. Row L is high enough for great sightlines over orchestra.
• RMEZZ (Rows M): $186 - Rear mezzanine center offers balanced pricing and good overall stage views despite being further back.
• RMEZZ SIDES (Rows N): $193-194 - Slightly angled but unobstructed views at nearly $100 less than comparable orchestra seats.

Sweet Spot Seats (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Mezzanine Center (Rows J-L): $194-231 - The "goldilocks zone" - close enough for facial expressions but elevated for full stage perspectives.
• RMEZZ CENTER (Rows H-K): $238-240 - Dead-center alignment perfect for catching all of Hamilton's intricate choreography.
• ORCH SIDES (Rows R-T): $238-244 - Orchestra side sections at 60% of center orchestra prices with only slight viewing angles.

Premium View Considerations

• FMEZZ CENTER (Rows B-F): $317-322 - Front mezzanine provides arguably the best overall views in the house - you'll see all the footwork and staging details.
• ORCH CENTER (Rows M-Q): $341-349 - Mid-orchestra center delivers the classic Broadway experience, though overhang from mezzanine begins affecting sound at Row P.
• ORCHESTRA CENTER (Rows J-K): $520 - Only recommended for die-hard fans - while close, you'll miss some overhead lighting effects at this proximity.

Viewing Tips by Section

• Mezzanine Sides: Rows A-F may have slight obstructions from railings. Opt for Rows G+.
• Orchestra Sides: Seats numbered 1-5 (left) or 14+ (right) may have partially obscured upstage views during certain scenes.
• Front Mezzanine: The 5-10° downward sightline is ideal for catching the revolutionary war choreography formations.

Our Top 3 Recommendations

1. RMEZZ CENTER Row H ($238): Best value for perfect center views - you'll catch every bullet Hamilton writes.
2. Mezzanine Center Row J ($231): Slightly closer while maintaining the crucial elevated perspective.
3. ORCH SIDES Row R ($240): If you prefer orchestra, these side seats avoid the overhang issues of rear center orchestra.

Seating Chart Insights

Note: The Richard Rodgers Theatre has a relatively shallow orchestra, meaning even rear mezzanine seats are closer than in most Broadway houses. The mezzanine overhang begins at Row P in orchestra - avoid seats behind this point if concerned about slight sound muffling.

Last-Minute Options

• ORCH SIDES Row C ($299): Occasionally released by the box office day-of-show.
• FMEZZ SIDES Row B ($238): Front side mezzanine often has last-minute VIP returns.
