How to choose the best seats in the Broadway Theatre seating chart?

Broadway Theatre can accommodate approximately 1,761 people.
The seating is divided into 2 sections – Orchestra and Mezzanine.
Rows A to C in the Mezzanine section provide fantastic views.
The best seats are in the middle of the Orchestra section in rows D to J.
Rows A to E of the Mezzanine section offer great views for a lower cost.
The seats towards the far sides of the Mezzanine or Orchestra may have limited views of the stage.
Orchestra typically offers immersive sound due to proximity. Mezzanine’s elevation gives clear acoustics and a wide-angle view of the stage.
For a musical, sitting away from the stage is not much of a concern given there's a lot of singing and dancing with performers utilizing the entire stage. For a play or any show which relies heavily on dialogue and the actors' expressions, consider sitting closer to the stage.

Sections available in Broadway Theatre

Orchestra

887 seats
Rows A-Y
The Orchestra is the section closest to the stage. It is split across Left, Right, and Center subsections.
The section is sometimes modified into a section called the "Floor," which accommodates people in 300 standing spots, 110 floor-side seats, and 20 VIP lounge seats.
The Orchestra has premium seating in the middle rows of the Center, but it also offers great views at affordable rates along the sides and in the rear.
Wheelchair-accessible, companion, and transfer seating is available in this step-free section.

Front Mezzanine

252 seats
Rows A-F

The Front Mezzanine is a raked, elevated section behind the Orchestra, which it overhangs.
The section is split across four subsections: two in the Center and one each on the Left and Right.
The section offers clear views of the stage, particularly from the front few rows in the Center sections.
The front row tends to have some of the best views, despite a minor obstruction from the security railing in front.
There are no accessible seats or accessible ways to reach this section.

Rear Mezzanine

322 seats
Rows A-J

The Rear Mezzanine is the furthest from the stage, sitting high up in the auditorium.
It is split across four subsections, just like the Front Mezzanine.
The distance and height, paired with a steep rake, make sitting in this section less preferable for smaller, intimate shows. But the vantage point is perfect for large ensembles, musicals, and productions with stage-wide scenes and props.
Seats in this section are often much cheaper than in other sections. Go for seats in the front and Center for better views.
There is no accessible seating in this section.

Value for money seats

Rear Mezzanine (A): This section is high up and far back. That means its seats are usually the cheapest in the house. Opt for seats in the front rows so you have a clearer view of the stage.
Front Mezzanine (A-F): Seats on the sides of the front rows and in the Center for the middle to rear rows offer decent views at affordable rates in this section.
Orchestra (C-U): Seats on the ends of the rows leading to Row O and any seats in Rows P to T offer decent views at less-than-premium price ranges.

Best views of the stage

Front Mezzanine (A-B): Seats in the front rows of this section give you some great views of the stage at rates cheaper than the Orchestra seats.
