Upper circle - great view of the stage and we didn’t miss out on any of the action.

Quite snug for leg room. But we sat quite comfortably for each half with a leg stretch for ice cream.

Behind a post in the dress circle but it didn’t ruin the view.

View slightly blocked by thin pillar but hardly at all - you could still see the whole stage and didn't impact the viewing experience. Nice comfy seats with plenty of space

Seats D16&17 in the dress circle. Restricted view, but not really an issue. The pillar is very narrow!

We were in c18 & 19 stalls excellent view & comfortable seats but you do get slight neck ache from looking up. A lovely theatre. Comfortable temperature for a hot night.

Good despite cheapest seats . Small theatre so no problem with view

Stuart Boucher Confirmed ticket purchaser

17 May 2023

As mentioned, side view was very tricky, although cheap and close to stage it is hard to stretch forward constantly. You do lose over half stage if you just sit normally without leaning forward constantly. I probably wouldn't sit here again. But it was quite cheap at £24 a sear.

JW Confirmed ticket purchaser

We had AA2 and 3. There was a slight restriction in the view, but it felt like we were in a box.

Helen Brown Confirmed ticket purchaser

I paid for restricted view , I could see the stage and there were empty seats next to me so shuffled up. So my view was fine.

Gemma Confirmed ticket purchaser

The seats were great, brilliant view and able to soak up the atmosphere.

The tickets were expensive in the centre of the stalls, but the show was excellent

This is an older theatre where the seating did not appear to be tiered, and our view was blocked. A lot of steps everywhere, the signs could be improved and was daunted by click & collect. Would not rush back to this venue.

Mark Confirmed ticket purchaser

not enough of a slope on seat rows so very blocked by those in front of me I was in row E in the stalls. If I came back to Criterion I'd try to get something further at the front. Still saw a fair bit I guess but not great. Cheap at £25 though!

Our seats were supposed to have a restricted view, but we did not have any problems

The only drawback was the seating with little legroom and being cramped in with your neighbour.

I was on the end 5 rows from the front in stalls. It’s advertised as restricted due to the side view but in this production I didn’t feel I missed anything of the action. I had two tall people in front of me but due to my seat being half a seat along from the row in front I got a good view.
