The Samuel J. Friedman Theatre is one of Broadway's more intimate spaces, with seating spread across the ground-level Orchestra and the Mezzanine above. The Orchestra is slightly larger than the Mezzanine, and is split into Left and Right sections. In the Mezzanine, seats are divided into a large Center section flanked by the Left and Right. Views of the stage are very good throughout the whole auditorium, with plenty of legroom and a decent rake to ensure sightlines at the back remain clear. Those sitting in the far corners will have slightly less desirable views, but there is no truly bad seat in the house.

Good value seats

Depending on your budget, there are various good value seating options at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. Rows E to J in the Orchestra are cheaper than premium without feeling distant, whilst the Mezzanine’s excellent rake means even the very back rows have plenty to offer with their panoramic views of the stage.

Premium seats

The best seats in the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre are across the front rows of the Center Orchestra and Center Mezzanine. Rows A to D of the Orchestra are excellent for a close-up yet comfortable look at the stage, whilst the Premier Circle in the Center Mezzanine is unrivalled for its wide overhead sightlines.
