Shubert Theatre Seating Chart – Best Seats, Views & Tips

Your Guide to the Perfect Seat at Boston’s Historic Venue

The Shubert Theatre at the Boch Center, a historic gem in Boston, hosts Broadway shows, concerts, and performances with intimate charm. Known for its ornate architecture and superb acoustics, choosing the right seat enhances your experience. Here’s a breakdown of the seating chart and views to help you decide.

Seating Chart Overview

• Orchestra (Floor): Closest to the stage, offering unobstructed views. Front rows (A–F) are ideal for immersive performances, while rear rows (G–N) may have slight elevation challenges.
• Mezzanine (First Balcony): Elevated for a broader perspective. Front Mezzanine (Rows A–D) provides the best balance of proximity and overview, while Rear Mezzanine (Rows E–F) is budget-friendly but farther.
• Balcony (Second Tier): Most affordable but steeply angled. Avoid extreme sides for skewed sightlines.

Best Seats by Event Type

• Broadway Shows: Center Orchestra (Rows C–H) or Front Mezzanine for full-stage views.
• Concerts: Side Orchestra (near aisles) for closer artist proximity.
• Dance Performances: Front Mezzanine to appreciate choreography patterns.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Orchestra seats offer clear sightlines, but avoid extreme sides (Sections 1/8) for potential stage cutoffs. Mezzanine seats provide a panoramic view, though railings may slightly obstruct the front rows. Balcony seats are steep—leaners ahead can block sightlines.

VIP & Accessibility

• Premium Seating: Rows A–C in Orchestra include VIP perks like lounge access.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible spots in Orchestra and Mezzanine, with companion seating.

Pro Tips

• For intimacy: Choose Orchestra Rows D–G.
• Budget hack: Rear Mezzanine center seats offer great value.
• Check venue photos online to preview your view before booking.
