About Broadhurst Theatre
- The Broadhurst Theatre has a capacity of 1,156 split across two sections: Orchestra and Mezzanine. It also has boxes along the sides and standing sections.
- The Center Orchestra offers the best views of the stage. The Center Mezzanine also offers great views, particularly for performances that require an elevated view.
- The middle of both sections offers decent views at affordable rates. However, these popular seats sell out soon, so be sure to book well in advance.

- Rows A and N in the Orchestra, A and K in the Mezzanine, and A in the Balcony offer more legroom.
- Step-free, wheelchair-accessible seats are in the Orchestra.
