Which Seats Offer The Best View?
There’s no denying that the front Orchestra has the best seats in the Hudson Theater. These seats not only offer an uninterrupted view of the stage, but also bring you closer to all the action. Specifically, the center seats of rows A to E are the amongst the best in theatre.
Opinions might different on this one but the second in line after front orchestra is the front section of the dress circle. Providing patrons an elevated view of the stage, the dress circle seats are great on their own right.
Being the first elevated section, seats in the first few rows of the center dress circle are one the best and offer the most stunning views.
Which seats/section offer the best value for money?
While both the premium orchestra and the front rows of dress circle are considered the best in the theatre, most wouldn’t exactly call them value for money. That honor goes to the middle orchestra and middle dress circle seats.
Any seat in the rows F to M of the orchestra section offers a decent view and is easy on the pocket. For dress circle, rows E to H are suitable picks for the budget conscious.
30-Second Takeaway: Hudson Theatre
- The theater is smaller than your average Broadway theater, housing a total of 976 seats spread across three sections.
- The orchestra section has 476 seats, with rows A to K providing a uniformly good view of the stage.
- The second section, dress circle has 254 seats and offers a mixed bag of viewing angles. The centre seats of the first couple of rows (A to E) are just as good as the front orchestra seats.
- The balcony offers an average viewing experience but the ticket prices make up for that. If you’re on a budget, we would recommend, a seat in the middle rows of the dress circle or the front row of the balcony.
- The theater has been renovated recently so you can expect a generally pleasant viewing experience.
- The ticket availability of Plaza Suite is decent, with an average theater occupancy rate between 75% to 85%. Generally, the best seats, i.e. front orchestra and front dress circle sell out fast and if you wait for the last moment to book your tickets, you’ll only get average seats.
