Sections at Lena Horne Theatre

Here are the 4 main sections on the Lena Horne Theatre chart. Ticket price, distance, and sightline all follow from which one you're in, so find yours on this list before you commit — and remember configurations move: a concert, a game, and a private buyout each use the room differently.

  • Mezzanine — single overhanging balcony
  • Rear Mezzanine — back rows of the balcony
  • Box seats — side boxes flanking the proscenium

Best seats at Lena Horne Theatre

Center orchestra rows E through L keep you close with the full stage picture intact. The front mezzanine center is excellent here — the modest house size means even the balcony's first rows feel near the action.

Tips before you go

Rear orchestra rows tuck under a fairly deep mezzanine overhang, so center mezzanine is the safer pick for shows with tall scenery. The theater is a half block off Times Square, walkable from nearly every Midtown subway line.

How to read the Lena Horne Theatre seating chart

The Lena Horne Theatre chart divides 1,069 seats on stacked levels facing the stage across 4 named sections — Orchestra, Mezzanine, Rear Mezzanine, and Box seats. Which of those names is printed on your ticket decides more than location: two sections apart can mean a different level, a different price bracket, and a different side of the room entirely.

Three things decide a Lena Horne Theatre seat: how far from the stage you are, whether you sit center or off toward a side aisle, and which level you're on. Two sections apart — say Box seats and Orchestra — can put you a level higher, a price tier over, or on the far side of the New York venue, so which one is the value sweet spot comes down to the event and your budget; the best-seats notes above call it for Lena Horne Theatre. Match your ticket to the official Lena Horne Theatre map — section, row, and seat — before you buy.

For scale: at 1,069 seats, Lena Horne Theatre ranks 36th of the 42 New York venues in this guide by capacity — Alice Tully Hall (1,086) is the next size up, Music Box Theatre (1,025) the next size down.
