Guide to Booth Theatre Seating Chart
Booth Theatre Orchestra
The orchestra section in Booth Theatre is the biggest seating section in the house with 502 seats in total. The seats are divided into three subsections segregated by aisles that run on each side of the center orchestra section.
The left orchestra seats are odd numbered and fall in the range of 1 to 15 while the right orchestra has even numbered seats that fall in the range of 2-16. The center orchestra, which is wider than the other two subsections and houses the most expensive seats, has subsequently numbered seats falling in the range of 101 to 120. The center orchestra subsection has 18 rows in total extending from AA, which is closest to the stage, to P which makes for the last row. The left and right orchestra subsections, on the other hand, have 17 rows each.
Booth Theatre Mezzanine
The Booth Theatre mezzanine section has 252 seats in total which are divided into three subsections with varying seat counts.
The left subsection has 8 rows (A-H) with odd numbered seats that fall in the range of 1-17. The corner right section also has 8 rows in total (A-H) and even numbered seats falling in the range of 2-18. Then there’s the center left section, which is the biggest subsection and has consecutively numbered seats that fall in the range of 101 to 114, moving right to left.
Which offer the best view?
With only 783 seats, the Booth Theatre is a small venue which serves as a warm, intimate setting for dramas, comedies, and smaller musicals. While the smaller seat count does limit viewing options, the theatre is wider than it’s longer, allowing you to get a good look at the stage even if you pick a seat which is not in the center.
Unlike most other theatres where the middle seats of premium orchestra rows (AA-D) are considered the best in the theatre, the Booth is different owing to its small size. Many people prefer sitting on the back rows of both the orchestra and the mezzanine because that allows them to never miss anything and see the show from the perspective of the director. This is why many people go for the aisle seats even if they need to sit back a row or two.
This isn’t to say that the front row orchestra seats are bad. They offer viewers a direct, unobstructed view of the stage and unless the production involves a lot of moving around and big, splashy dance numbers, you should be fine there. Given their proximity to the main stage, the price tag for these premium orchestra seats is also the heftiest in the theatre.
Which offer the best value for money?
Both the premium orchestra and front mezzanine, are some of the most expensive in the theatre. If you don’t wish to overspend on your Broadway show tickets, we have the perfect solution for you.
In the orchestra section, seats in the middle rows, F to J are relatively cheaper than the premium orchestra seats while offering a good look at the stage. And like we said, some even prefer these seats over the front rows. For the mezzanine section, the middle subsection has good seats in rows D to E. Do note that the further back you move in the mezzanine section, the more steep view you’ll get since it’s the last section in the theater.
