Seating Recommendations and Charts 

The Carson Center is known for its thoughtful seating layout and incredible sightlines from every section. With a total seating capacity of approximately 1,800 guests, the venue features three main sections that accommodate both intimate and large-scale productions. 

Seating Options Include: 

• Orchestra Level: Closest to the stage, ideal for guests who want an immersive front-row experience. 

• Mezzanine: Elevated for panoramic views of the entire stage while still feeling close to the action. 

• Balcony: Provides an excellent overall view at a great value—perfect for budget-conscious guests who don’t want to compromise on experience. 

• Box Seats: Available for select performances, these premium seats offer extra comfort and privacy. 

Using the interactive map at Box Office Ticket Sales, you can easily compare prices and availability in real time. Act fast—premium and front-row seats tend to sell out quickly, especially for high-demand Broadway tours.
