Sections available in Nederlander Theatre

Upcoming: Redwood

Orchestra

580 seats
Rows AA-Q

The orchestra section offers the closest perspective of the stage. However, some limitations come into play as you move further back and to the sides. The Mezzanine overhang starts affecting sightlines by row M, significantly impacting the view by row Q.
Additionally, the shallow rake can be a challenge for shorter patrons with potentially obstructed views by those in front. For the best overall experience, prioritize Center Orchestra seats between rows B and C, extending up to K.
These offer a clear, direct view of the stage without feeling uncomfortably close to the action. Aisle seats are also a plus, especially for taller audience members who might appreciate the extra legroom.
The good news is that the Orchestra is accessible for patrons with limited mobility, with six designated wheelchair spaces available for booking.

Mezzanine

590 seats
Rows A-P

The Mezzanine is divided into Left, Right, and Center sections (plus private Boxes for two on each side).
The steep rake generally offers clear sightlines, but venture beyond the entrance between rows E and G, and the experience becomes more distant.
For the best blend of proximity and a central view, target Center Mezzanine seats in rows B and C. However, some areas are less ideal: shorter patrons might be obstructed by the safety bar in row A, while double-digit numbered seats on the Left/Right Mezzanine have a more angled view, potentially cutting off some stage action.
The back rows are a great choice, though consider an aisle seat for extra comfort. Keep in mind there are transfer seats with aisle access, but the Mezzanine lacks elevator access.

Accessible seating in Nederlander Theatre

Orchestra: Finding your seat is a breeze in the Orchestra section, located conveniently on the ground floor for easy access from the street. This section caters to patrons with mobility limitations by offering six designated wheelchair spaces with companion seating in rows K to Q. Additionally, for those who require transfer seating, there are eight scattered aisle transfer seats throughout the Orchestra, ranging from row B to the back row (Q).
Mezzanine: The Mezzanine, unfortunately, presents a different accessibility story. Located one floor above the Orchestra, it's only reachable by stairs. Even within the Mezzanine section itself, there may be one or two steps to navigate between rows, although handrails are available for assistance. While there are four transfer seats with aisle access scattered throughout the Mezzanine (in rows D, E, and N), it's important to be aware of the multiple stairs you'll need to climb to reach this section. If stairs are a significant concern, the Mezzanine might not be the ideal choice.
