The Stephen Sondheim Theater orchestra section is almost double the size of the mezzanine, with a total seat count of 669. These seats are spread across three section, left orchestra, center orchestra, and right orchestra with 21 rows in total from A to U.
The three subsections, left, right, and center, each have varying numbers of rows and seats, with center orchestra being the biggest. The left and right orchestra seats are odd (1 to 21) and even (2-22) numbered respectively while the center subsection seats are consecutively (101 to 119) numbered.
Stephen Sondheim Theatre Mezzanine
The mezzanine section is the only elevated seating area in the theatre (apart from the 4 box seats in either corners). With a total seat count of 349, the mezzanine is relatively smaller, especially when compared to the massive orchestra. This section has 9 rows in total, from AA to JJ.
The center mezzanine is the biggest subsection with consecutively numbered seats falling in the range of 101 to 121. The left subsection is odd numbered, with seats numbered in the range of 1-19 while the right subsection has even numbered seats in the range of 2 to 20.
Which Seats Offer the Best View?
Since there are only two major sections in the theatre and considering the fact that it’s smaller than your regular Broadway theatre, finding the best seats in the Stephen Sondheim Theater is not a challenge. Also, since the theatre is small, most seats offer a pretty good look at the stage, making your choice even easier.
In the orchestra section, the front four rows, C to G, are considered the best. Within these rows, the center seats (107 to 114) are directly in front of the stage and are also close enough to provide clear sound and an unobstructed view. The next section, mezzanine also has some great seats because of its elevated nature. The front rows AA to CC are amongst the best in the theatre and some people even prefer them over the front orchestra seats. In the front three rows, the middle seats numbered 107 to 114 are the best.
The seat options we have mentioned above are also the most expensive. If you’re looking for something a bit more budget-friendly, our next section is for you.
Which Seats/Section Offer the Best Value for Money?
While the premium orchestra and front mezzanine seats offer the best view, they’re the most expensive too. Unfortunately, buying tickets upwards of $200 is not an option for everyone. That’s where the middle rows of these sections come into play. Both the orchestra and the mezzanine have decent middle row seats that offer a clean look at the stage and aren’t too heavy on the pockets!
Specifically, Rows H to L in the orchestra and Rows CC and FF in the mezzanine, fall firmly in the value for money category with average ticket prices falling in the range of $115 to $120.
