Seating Options at the Barrymore Theatre for Joe Turner’s Come and Gone

When buying tickets for Ethel Barrymore Theatre, you’ll be faced with 9 ticket options: Orchestra Left, Orchestra Center, Orchestra Right, Left Front Mezzanine, Center Front Mezzanine, Right Front Mezzanine, Left Rear Mezzanine, Center Rear Mezzanine, and Right Rear Mezzanine.

Best Seats at Barrymore Theatre

As with most Broadway theatres, Orchestra Center has the best seats. If money is no issue, of course. However, there is such a thing as sitting too close to the stage. Therefore, aim for any seats in Rows E to J because Rows A, B, and C are too close to the stage and might block your view. Also, there’s no doubt that some of the best views of the stage are in Row D to K in the Orchestra Center.

But Orchestra Center isn’t the only spot to get a good view of the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. There are great views of the stage in Rows A to D in Center Mezzanine levels. However, if comfort is your style, you’ll be happy to know that Row A and Row N in Orchestra and Row A in Front Mezzanine and Rear Mezzanine have the most legroom.

Accessible Seating at Barrymore Theatre

The Barrymore Theatre is step-free for anyone in the entrance and lobby. There is also accessible seating located in the lower sections, with around five wheelchair spaces and up to three companion seats each. The theatre’s website goes into detail about which areas are accessible and how each level is set up.

Obstructed Seats at Barrymore Theatre

Most reviewers say there isn’t a bad seat at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. However, there might be obstructions in any box seats, far right or far left seats, and any seats too close up to the stage. We recommend avoiding Rows A, B, and C in the Orchestra Center because they tend to have an obstructed view of the stage since you’re so up close.
