St. James Theatre | "Sunset Blvd." Seating Guide – Best Views & Value Tickets

Expert Recommendations for the Best Seats at St. James Theatre

Discover the perfect seats for "Sunset Blvd." at Broadway's historic St. James Theatre. This guide highlights the best value tickets, premium sections, and hidden gems to enhance your viewing experience while staying within budget.

Best Value Tickets ($108-$153)

• Balcony Rows G-H: Center sections offer surprisingly good sightlines despite being high up. Row H at $108 is the theater's best bargain.
• Balcony Rows C-D: Closer balcony seats ($115-$153) provide better angles to see the full stage. Center sections are worth the small premium.
• Ambassador Lounge ($127): Unique side lounge seating with comfortable chairs and cocktail service.

Sweet Spot (Good Availability & Price)

• Mezzanine Rear Center Rows P-Q ($152-$188): Elevated view avoids overhang issues with perfect center alignment.
• Orchestra Rear Left/Right Rows P ($119-$240): Side sections offer excellent value in the orchestra level.
• Mezzanine Front Side Rows B-C ($309): Closer mezzanine seats with diagonal views that capture the full stage.

Higher Tier Options (Not the best deals)

• Mezzanine Front Center Rows B-G ($343-$364): Prime viewing elevation but prices jump significantly.
• Orchestra Rear Center Rows J-K ($554): Solid center views but overpriced compared to better mezzanine options.
• Mezzanine Center Rows G-O ($221-$441): Good seats but inconsistent value depending on exact row.

Premium or Last-Minute Options

• Orchestra Front Center Rows B-D ($554-$813): Ultimate premium experience with perfect sightlines.
• Orchestra Center Rows J-K ($646): Mid-center orchestra for those wanting to be closer.
• Front Mezzanine A Row ($364): First row mezzanine provides an unobstructed panoramic view.

View Comparison

• Balcony: Steep angle but full stage visibility - best for budget-conscious viewers.
• Mezzanine: Goldilocks zone - elevated enough for full stage views but closer than balcony.
• Orchestra Rear: Flat viewing angle - rows N-R may have slight obstructions from heads.
• Orchestra Front: Immersive experience but most expensive - worth it for special occasions.

Pro Tips

• Balcony center seats in Row C ($131) offer 90% of the view at 30% of orchestra prices.
• Mezzanine front side seats (Left/Right Rows B-F) provide excellent value at $309-$343.
• Avoid extreme side sections in orchestra rear - sightlines become compromised.
• For groups of 5+, balcony rows G-H at $108 are unbeatable for budget seating.

Final Recommendation

For best overall value, we recommend Mezzanine Rear Center Q ($152) or Balcony Center C ($131). Premium seekers should consider Orchestra Front Center (Rows B-D) or Mezzanine Front Center (Rows B-G). Budget buyers will find excellent options in the balcony with multiple tickets available under $120.
