There was not leg space but it didn’t affect the reception of the performance.

We were in the middle of row 3 of the Dress Circle. Not only perfect view of the whole stage, but my grand-daughters were offered cushions if needed. We didn't need them so were able to give to other shorter children.

row F in Grand Circle - you couldnt see 20% of the show as the actor/singers would be to the front of the stage. given that the stage is very large, it seems reasonable to ask for the scene to be carried out more in the centre of the stage if possible.

Restricted viewing and not enough leg room compensated by a brilliant show. Expensive for a restricted view upper grand circle 2 row so reality should be cheaper.

We were super excited to see the show. When we found out we were coming to London, the first thing we did was buy tickets to watch Mama Mia. However, despite the musical being spectacular, we were super frustrated. The place does not have a "partial view" as advertised on the theater map, but rather NO VISIBILITY AT ALL. The seat was in the balcony, in a super high place, higher than the stage, that is, we saw the theater from a very high angle. We had already bought cheaper tickets with a partial view at other theaters, but we had never had an experience like this of practically just listening to the show and having to lean forward a lot to see an actor. We really regret not having had the opportunity to see Mamma Mia in its entirety.

We were in the balcony which is very high up, would avoid the first row of the balcony if you don't like heights. We were 3rd row back and it was fine, could see the stage clearly.

Wish to be in front seat Distance between seat rows are very narrow forcing all of us to move or stand up to allow others to come in

I had aa6 which was restricted view which we was happy with but the keg room was so tight that I was in a lot of pain. Although I read the reviews people may have been a lot smaller than me

Don’t buy seats where a barrier is in front of you. Whilst we were aware that this might be an issue we hadn’t appreciated that the people in front of us had to lean forward in order to overcome the limited view which obscured our vision still further. We tried to move a bit further along to a spare seat but an overly officious usher was very quick to forbid us and we had to move back to our original seats. The spare seat was never used.

Rosalind Dolan Confirmed ticket purchaser

Good seats and could see the stage easily as long as the person in front didn’t move their head too often! Was spoiled a bit by a very drunk audience member who talked loudly throughout the second half. Staff did their best to quieten him down. Not sure how you cope with this without making even more disruption.

excellent. Even better as we had small children in front of us.

We were in the balcony seats did find a little cramped for leg room if you are tall and a good idea to stretch your legs during the interval though your feet are constantly tapping with the music.

We were in the Grand Circle B23-25. Although we could see the balcony rail in seats 24 & 25, it didn't distract seeing all the action on the stage as the majority is central stage. The seats were really comfortable with plenty width space & the aisle seat was perfect to stick out my crutches & booted leg.

Our seats (stall row N) number 3-4. Depends where you get seated but in our case, my seat was okay as I could see in between the two people in front of me. However my partner said wasn’t too comfortable as not much leg room and the person in front of him wouldn’t stop moving so his view wasn’t the best.
