Gershwin Theatre Seat Guide

The Gershwin Theatre New York has a capacity of 1927 seats. Section capacities are 1291 Orchestra and 636 Mezzanine. Use our interactive seating chart to view 567 seat reviews and 532 view from seat photos.

The Gershwin Theatre's expansive auditorium comprises two levels: an Orchestra on the ground and Mezzanine above. Each can be roughly split into three sections: Left, Center and Right. Rear Mezzanine seats are a considerable distance from the stage, so it may not be possible to make out facial expressions from here. Conversely, the Center Orchestra’s front seats are close to the action but may require upward neck craning. An excellent sightline is offered from the middle of Center Orchestra and the front rows of Center Mezzanine.

Best Seats for Wicked Broadway

  • For a birds eye view, choose the front Mezzanine section to get clear sightlines of the entire stage.
  • For seeing the "Time Dragon" (the mechanical dragon that hangs above the proscenium) are front mezzanine or middle orchestra. But in the orchestra avoid being too far back where the mezzanine overhang gets in the way, or too close where the steep rake cuts it off.
  • For kids are the Rear Orchestra, where sightlines are elevated thanks to stadium style seating. The Gershwin Theatre also offers booster seats for smaller kids, which can be used in any section of the theater.
  • On a budget are the side of the Orchestra section or in the very back of the Mezzanine. These seats can be significantly cheaper so be sure to chek reviews and photos in these areas. Some of Wicked's obstructed view seats can be hidden gems.

Good Value Seats

The rear and the sides of the Orchestra are reasonably priced while still offering a decent view of the stage, but the view becomes more restricted towards the very front extreme sides. The rear and side Mezzanine seats are among the cheapest in the house. Although further away from the action, they benefit from raked positioning, giving a full-stage view with no obstructions. For large-scale musicals like Wicked, the distance means ensemble dance numbers can be fully appreciated, making up for the fact that you may not be able to make out facial expressions.

Premium Seats

The middle-front seats of Center Orchestra are the most expensive and most desirable due to their unparalleled view. The front row of Center Mezzanine also offers excellent views, albeit from a little further back, and represents the premium seating area in this upper level. Expect to pay a higher price per seat than any other Mezzanine spot for the privilege.
