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. It was built with Everett Shinn murals and a state-of-the-art lighting board. The 1,034-seat room has an orchestra, a mezzanine and a balcony. Maybe Happy Ending sets its action inside a small Seoul apartment, so the whole show is built for proximity: in our view, centre orchestra is the seat to want, and the first rows of the mezzanine are worth pricing against it for the show's quiet two-person scenes.
Section by section
-
Orchestra
In our view, the intimate two-character staging rewards being close. Shubert's Belasco page says the auditorium's shallow depth keeps the audience close to the actors.
-
Mezzanine
In our view, the front rows are worth pricing against the orchestra for the whole stage picture.
-
Balcony
The third level, up one flight of stairs from the mezzanine, with 200 seats (Shubert's Belasco page).
