Frequently Asked Questions

The Orchestra section is the first floor of the theater, with rows of seats extending from very near the stage all the way to the back of the theater. The Mezzanine section is directly above the Orchestra section, jutting out from the back of the theater toward the stage, with its first rows being situated roughly at the midpoint of the Orchestra section. Check out How to Choose a Seat in a Broadway Theater for a visual aid and further details about theater sections.

The Balcony section is the uppermost level in the theater, extending from the back of the theater over the Mezzanine. Because they are typically only accessible by multiple flights of stairs and are the farthest seats from the stage, Balcony seats tend to be among the lowest-priced in the theater but they can offer sweeping, panoramic views of the stage. Not all theaters have Balconies.
