What are the best seats in the theater for a Broadway play? Orchestra seats are the closest to the stage and are also the most expensive. It can depend on the specific show, but usually the best seats in the house are located in the orchestra a few rows back – so they’re not too close to the stage – or at the very front of the mezzanine. But Broadway houses are small, so even seats in the rear mezzanine and balcony usually give a decent view. Mezzanine seats are the first level up looking down on to the stage, and the balcony is the highest level of seats and set further back.
How can I get cheap tickets to a Broadway play? Broadway tickets can be expensive, but there are also many ways to score cheap tickets. One of the easiest methods is to head to the TKTS booth in Times Square – it’s impossible to miss, just look for the giant red steps near 47th Street and Broadway. The booth offers tickets to many popular Broadway and off-Broadway shows for up to 50% off. You can also try your luck for a rush or lottery ticket or even head directly to the box office of your favorite show to see if there have been any last minute cancellations.
