The short version
The Walter Kerr is one of the smaller Broadway houses, with 975 seats. Ambassador Theatre Group's access page puts them on three levels: an orchestra, a mezzanine on the second level (37 steps up) and a balcony on the third (52 steps up); the theatre has no elevator. In our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want for being close to the music, the front of the mezzanine is worth pricing against it, and the balcony is the place to look when price matters more than closeness.
