The orchestra can be divided into three subsections namely, left orchestra, center orchestra, and right orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>The left orchestra subsection has 26 rows in total, labelled A to ZZZ (this section skips row M and N which is where the orchestra overhang begins from). The seats are numbered 1 to 15 (odd only) and move right to left towards the aisle. Next up is the center orchestra of the Minskoff theatre. The biggest of the lot, this subsection has a full set of 28 rows, extending from A to ZZZ (skipping row I due to theatre superstitions). The even numbered right orchestra offers similar viewing angles to the left subsection with 26 rows in total.<\/p>\n<h3>Mezzanine<\/h3>\n<p> The second and only elevated section of the Minskoff, the mezzanine is relatively smaller than the orchestra, with a little over 500 seats spread across 11 rows, numbered 101 to 156 moving left to right.<\/p>\n<p> The front mezzanine seats of any theatre are usually considered the best of the lot and that stands true for the Minskoff as well. Rows A-C, seats 119-129, offer the cleanest view of the stage in all its wondrous glory. The view remains good as you move a couple of rows back but the last few rows, which are the last rows of the theatre as well, can be too far off from all the action and some patron reviews have complained about the muffled sound quality around those seats.<\/p>\n<p> The corner rows of the mezzanine are similar to the corner rows of the orchestra, but given that the mezzanine seats are at a greater distance to the stage, they are cheaper. Our suggestion, if you\u2019re looking for cheap tickets for The Lion King, go for the corner mezzanine seats over corner orchestra seats.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"minskofftheatre4\">Which seats offer the best view?<\/h2>\n<p>The seats with the best views however are in the center orchestra, specifically Rows C-M. You get a direct view of the stage without any obstructions. These seats also are the most expensive ones in the theatre. If you&#8217;d rather not be that close to the stage and wish to spend lesser on the ticket, then the seats with the best view will be the elevated front mezzanine seats. The middle seats of Rows A-D in the mezzanine section offer great views of the stage. While it\u2019s hard to point exactly which seats take the crown, both the middle orchestra and premium mezzanine are similarly priced, leaving the decision on whether you like heights!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"minskofftheatre5\">Which seats offer the best value for money?<\/h2>\n<p> The middle orchestra rows P-U are quite decent and cost a lot less than the premium orchestra seats. Center seats in rows D to G in the front mezzanine section are also value for money considering the clean view on offer and ticket prices.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"minskofftheatre6\">30-second takeaway: Minskoff Theatre<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The Minskoff Theatre has a capacity of 1692 seats. Section capacities are 1099 Orchestra and 593 Mezzanine.<\/li>\n<li>The Minskoff Theatre at One Astor Plaza first opened in 1973 and was named after one of the USA\u2019s largest real estate families, Sam Minskoff and Sons.<\/li>\n<li>The best views of the stage can be found in the front and middle rows of the center orchestra, or from row A of the mezzanine for those preferring an elevated position.<\/li>\n<li>The interior of the theatre was originally designed by architecture firm Kahn and Jacobs in a very modern, simple style characterized by gold and white colors. Prior to The Lion King taking up residence, hundreds of craftspeople and artists refurbished the venue over a six-month period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"minskofftheatre7\">Minskoff Theatre reviews<\/h2>\n<p>This theatre is more modern than many on Broadway, so there are escalators to many levels rather than stairs (some stairs are still necessary). There are also more restrooms and more stalls in each restroom than others. When purchasing tickets for The Lion King, I highly recommend splurging for orchestra tickets (especially on\/near the aisles) for a more immersive experience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Kelli, Tripadvisor, March 2022<\/p>\n<p>Service at Minskoff Theatre proves while it is amongst the worlds greats! Greg, Christine, Nicholas, Lawrence and the staff at the ox office window felt like they gave me personal service&#8230; Obviously the show itself, Lion King did not disappoint. We hung around for a bit following the performance (charging my phone looking out over Times Square) and it&#8217;s amazing how fast and friendly the staff cleaned up! 100% for this experience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Sheenal, Tripadvisor, May 2022<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"minskofftheatre8\">Frequently asked questions about Minskoff Theatre seating chart<\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"t-1654605744453\">More Broadway Guides<\/h2>\n<p>For more Broadway information, here are some helpful quick links!<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/best-way-buy-broadway-tickets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/media\/images\/New+York\/BroadwayTheatre+District+NYC.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=500&amp;h=1000&amp;q=30\" alt=\"Broadway Discount Tickets\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"283594668\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\">How To Buy Broadway Discount Tickets <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/Broadway\/Bands+visit.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=500&amp;h=1000&amp;q=30\" alt=\"Best Broadway Shows\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"861174493\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\">Best Broadway Shows <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/broadway-theater-seating-charts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/blog-content\/image\/2209fdb8275e151bb0b7e192b57d439a-pexels-marcus-herzberg-1058276.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=500&amp;h=1000&amp;q=30\" alt=\"Broadway Seating Chart\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"189535549\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\">A-Z Broadway Theater Seating Charts <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/broadway-new-york-theatre-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/media\/images\/New+York\/BroadwayTheatre+District+2+NYC.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=500&amp;h=1000&amp;q=30\" alt=\"Broadway Guide\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"1066735850\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\">NYC Broadway Theater Guide <\/a> [tcb-script]var poster = [507];[\/tcb-script]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This guide on the Minskoff Theatre seating chart will help you find the best seats in the house.
