The short version
The Belasco opened in 1907 as the Stuyvesant Theatre — designed by George Keister in a neo-Georgian style for showman David Belasco, who renamed it for himself in 1910 and packed it with Tiffany ceiling panels, Everett Shinn murals, and the most advanced stage lighting rigs of the era. The 1,018-seat room runs a deep orchestra and a single intimate balcony, and the building remains a New York City landmark. Maybe Happy Ending sets its action inside a small Seoul apartment, so the whole show is built for proximity: centre orchestra is the premium tier, and the front three rows of the mezzanine often offer the cleanest sight lines on the show's quiet two-person scenes.
Section by section
Sections are ordered roughly cheapest-to-most-expensive within the house's seating tiers — but the best value isn't always the cheapest. Watch for the sweet spot.
-
Orchestra
Centre orchestra is premium. The intimate two-character staging rewards proximity. Side rows can have angle but the deep, narrow Belasco keeps all seats within reach.
-
Mezzanine
Front rows are the consensus best-value pick — full picture without orchestra premium pricing. Single-level balcony at the Belasco; rear-mezz is the cheap legitimate option.
