Death Becomes Her is currently running at Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, and Playbill has got you covered with tips to get the best seats in the house. We've scoured online forums for the inside scoop from past attendees, so you're prepared to pick the perfect seat to watch the magic happen.
The Lunt-Fontanne has a seating capacity of 1,505 with an orchestra, front mezzanine, and rear mezzanine. For the purposes of clarity, we've divided the seating charts between Orchestra Left (Orchestra L), Orchestra Center (Orchestra C), Orchestra Right (Orchestra R), Mezzanine Left (Mezzanine L), Mezzanine Center (Mezzanine C), and Mezzanine Right (Mezzanine R).
Attendees throughout the orchestra said they had a clear view. The Death Becomes Her set is large scale with moving set pieces, but the biggest set pieces are upstage. Sight lines are clear with no large set pieces downstage. Even an attendee in Row A said they only missed one moment, when an actor was laying on the floor, due to the height of the stage.
Those on the far left or right of the orchestra said they might have missed a couple moments, but "had full view of 99 percent" of the show. One attendee in Orchestra L/Row Q said they noticed the mezzanine overhang, but that it did not block any part of the stage. Another in Orchestra L/Row H said they felt their view was nearly perfect: close, but not too close.
For those looking for a more affordable ticket, a "partial view" buyer seated Orchestra C/Row A/Seat 109 said they could see everything. And don't be afraid of the rear mezzanine to save some money—one attendee said they were afraid they would feel too far from the action, but they were still able to make out actor's faces, and didn't feel too distant at all. For the vertically challenged, a 5'2" theatregoer in Rear Mezzanine L/Row A said a railing blocked part of the stage, but their 5'7" friend had an unobstructed view.
