The short version
The Broadway Theatre is one of the largest houses on the Rialto — 1,761 seats — with a deep orchestra and a tall mezzanine. The visual sweep of the production reads cleanly from front mezzanine; centre orchestra has the warmest acoustic. Rear orchestra and the back rows of the mezzanine are the budget tier but the Broadway's size means even those seats are within reasonable reach.
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 rows D–N are the premium tier. Side rows are cheaper but the Broadway Theatre's wide orchestra means side angles can be steep.
-
Front Mezzanine
The single best value at the Broadway Theatre — full picture of the period staging, no neck angle, cheaper than premium orchestra.
-
Rear Mezzanine
Furthest seats. Real distance from the stage at this size of house; some sight lines through the supports. Cheapest legitimate option.
