Sat up in the Gods which was not a good idea, altho the view wasn’t bad wished I’d paid more for better seats.

The view was great but the seats were too high and quite uncomfortable.

We were A11,12 and 13 probably a bit close but didn’t care as could see everything

Middle of row A of the dress circle always my first choice for seats but the banister in front of you is on the high side so does obscure vision a bit

We were in the front row of upper dress circle, and while it gave a great view over the stage the safety rail was a bit more restrictive than I'd anticipated. Next time I'd sit lower down in the theatre, but that's personal choice depending on ticket price.

We were in the front row so our legs were squashed and wouldn’t recommend these seats if you have long legs!

Absolutely brilliant - fairly comfortable, leg room was ok (if you got really long legs you might struggle) & great view - what more could you ask for. (N row (3 seats at the back of the stalls)

Row H in stalls, excellent view.

We were in K row in the dress Circle. Would not be my choice again. I hardly had any leg room and my feet didn’t touch the floor . Other people beside me who were taller had to sit sideways. So very uncomfortable but as I enjoyed the show it was worth it.

Nothing obstructing my view, but as a solo theatre goer I kept my eye on a seat closer to the front of the circle and moved in the interval.

We were in front row A little too close for me and bit cramped legspace

A9 & A10 were front row and aisle seats but were a little cramped with the stage providing minimal leg room. Excellent views for most of the show but occasionally the action was masked by the positioning of a few of the actors, especially the wedding scene. Really felt involved in the action.

During some points, we could not see anything as it was unnecessarily at the front of the stage, which was not visible from the upper circle

Row A stalls - a hands breadth away from the stage

We were lucky to be sitting in Row C where the view was especially good.

Would have been great if I hadn't got a tall lady in front of me who never stopped moving. Thank goodness I was in the aisle.

We needed an end seat for my husband so chose 3 seats Row O in stalls. Thus able to hire booster cushions to improve view as last row not obstructing anyone.

Excellent view, but leg room was a little bit restricted, had to move onto the stairs to let people pass by.

The seat, second row grand circle was awful. It was described when booking as restricted leg room. This was not the case. There was plenty. What was hugely restricted was the view! The ballistrade hid all but one third of the stage and people in front leaning to see pretty much hid the rest of it. Really spoilt the experience and if was marketed as restricted view as it should have been, I would have chosen different seats!

We had seats H32 and 33 and they were brilliant so close you could see the expressions on the faces of the amazing actors
Sue Smith

A very clear view of every part of the show from our seats c3 and c4
Denny

Although comfortable it was a late booking ,& was in row A. Far too close for my preference , but couldn’t detract from my enjoyment

We had a dress circle box on the stage left side, although you missed anything directly beneath you and had a side view of the whole show, these seats allowed us to feel like we were in the story with the actors.

Dreadful. In upper circle. Could only see the back of the stage.
Gillian

Upper circle very limiting especially when people in front row leaning over which blocked views for many people
Carmel

I was in the very front row which although amazingly close to the cast, the legroom was poor and the lights caught your eyes.

We were in row A and virtually on the stage, so certainly close to the action - perhaps a little too close for some.
