Value for money seats

  • Loge (B-E): This smaller, elevated section at the rear offers a good balance between affordability and views. Seats in Rows D and E are usually much cheaper, as these are quite a distance away from the stage. For better views at slightly higher rates, go for seats in B and C. Center seats are always a better option for great views, but seats to the sides often go for less.
  • Orchestra (H-P): The Orchestra offers a more immersive experience, particularly in the center. For affordable seats, try seats in the Left or Right subsections. Some seats in these sections are angled and experience some sightline restrictions. For premium views at lower rates, try rear rows in the Center Orchestra. Since the section is raked and does not experience an overhang from the Loge, there are no major sightline restrictions from these seats.

Best views of the stage

  • Orchestra (A-F, Center): The front-row Orchestra seats offer an immersive experience unlike any other and generally go for premium rates. Seats in the Center give you the clearest views of the stage with no sightline restrictions.
  • Loge (A, Center): This section offers a clear and comprehensive view of the whole stage, perfect for large productions and musicals. Seats toward the Center and in front are the best for views and generally cost a bit more than rear or side seats.

Sections available in Vivian Beaumont Theater

Orchestra

  • 712 seats
  • Rows A-P

  • The largest section in the house, the Orchestra is raked from the stage level up and split across five subsections laid out in a horseshoe shape.
  • Since the section wraps around the stage, the Center gets the clearest views while the sides are angled and experience some sightline restrictions.
  • Seats toward the front offer a more immersive experience while rear and side seats often go for cheaper.
  • The seats are slightly cramped and not the best for taller patrons. Go for seats in Row P or along the aisles for a more comfortable experience.
  • The section has accessible seating and unisex and wheelchair-accessible restrooms on the same floor.
  • The bar and water fountains are in the Lobby.

Loge

  • 361 seats
  • Rows A-E

  • This is a much smaller section of the theater and is quite a distance away from the stage, which makes it less suitable for smaller, more intimate plays like dramas.
  • The elevation and spread of the section allow you a clear view of the whole stage, making it a great choice for large productions like musicals.
  • The section's seating is a bit cramped, so opt for aisle or front-row seats if you'd like more legroom.
  • Seats in the rear and on the sides are usually cheaper and experience some sightline restrictions, while seats in the Center and closer to the front cost more while offering better views.
