Imperial Theatre Seat Guide

The Imperial Theatre New York has a capacity of 1459 seats. Use our interactive seating chart to view 809 seat reviews and 786 view from seat photos.

The Imperial Theatre is a large venue with three seating sections. The ground-level Orchestra is divided into Left, Right and Center sections with views best towards the front and middle, whilst both Mezzanines have four to five sections of similar sizes. On all three levels, seats towards the sides are more restricted. The Front Mezzanine’s central seats are very popular owing to their impressively detailed views, whilst the Rear Mezzanine has decent but more distant sightlines. Boxes are also available for private yet restricted seating.

Good value seats

Rows H to P in the Center Orchestra offer clean views of the stage at a decent and comfortable distance, at a price bracket lower than premium. In the Front Mezzanine, rows C to F (especially across the more central Section 2 and Section 3) are similarly well priced for the view on offer.

Premium seats

Premium seats in the Imperial Theatre start in rows C to G of the Center Orchestra, which are perfect for an immersive experience that isn’t hampered by uncomfortable neck craning. For patrons who prefer an elevated view to see the whole set in one go, rows A and B in the Front Mezzanine are an excellent choice.
