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

Minskoff Theatre can accommodate approximately 1,621 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 H.
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 broad stage perspective.
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.
