Your Complete Guide to the Vivian Beaumont Theatre Seating Chart

The Vivian Beaumont Theatre, a crown jewel of Lincoln Center, is renowned for its intimate thrust-stage design and exceptional acoustics. This 1,080-seat venue offers a unique theatrical experience with no seat farther than 65 feet from the stage. Whether you're attending a Broadway play, musical, or special performance, understanding the seating layout ensures the best experience.

Seating Chart Breakdown: Sections & Advantages

• Orchestra (Front & Center): Unmatched proximity to the stage with perfect sightlines. Rows A-F are premium, but may require slight neck-tilting for tall viewers.
• Orchestra (Sides): More affordable with good views, though extreme side seats may miss some staging details.
• Mezzanine (First Tier): Elevated perspective ideal for musicals. Front Mezzanine (Rows A-C) offers the best balance of price and view.
• Rear Mezzanine: Budget-friendly with full stage visibility, though distant for subtle facial expressions.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Plays: Orchestra Rows G-K (center) for perfect actor-viewer connection.
• Musicals: Front Mezzanine for full-stage choreography appreciation.
• Accessibility: Designated wheelchair spaces in Orchestra and Mezzanine with companion seating.

VIP & Luxury Options

The Beaumont offers premium lounge access with select Orchestra seats. While no traditional suites exist, center Orch Rows A-D provide elite experiences with possible meet-and-greet opportunities for special events.

• For intimacy: Choose center Orch within 15 rows
• For value: Opt for side Orch or Front Mezzanine
• Check Lincoln Center's official view photos before booking
