Our original seats were in the stalls but we were sat behind a man in a motorised wheelchair which badly blocked our view. The box office were really helpful and found us seats in the royal circle.

Row H of the stalls. Excellent view of the whole stage, not enough leg room but that's the Theatre.

Sat in the grand circle and the view was great

The front row of the grand circle is not good as the safety rail cuts your vision however you sit when you are 5ft 1. It was also incredibly hot in the grand circle and people looked visibly flushed at the interval

Slightly restricted view due to high stage and seated in front row, but still really enjoyed the show.

The seats were quite tight and small. Not much legroom and my wife had to sit on a bolster to see above the head of the guy in front. Not ideal given we were in the stalls near the front.

I was aware that there was a limited view on the front row as the stage was high. Still It was not too bad. Though I'd like to have just a tiny bit more leg space. That's the only critiscm. The seat I found was very comfy.

I originally purchased tickets for 2 aisle seats near the front and was informed by the booking agent that the seats I had booked would obstruct my view due to the level of the stage. The replacement seats were great! Located on the aisle of the middle section, 5 rows from the front.

We sat in the stalls seats really where uncomfortable I’ve been to many shows but felt very cramped in and no leg room …

Sasmonst Confirmed ticket purchaser

Front row but couldn’t see the lower half of the cast’s bodies at time so definitely sitting a few rows back would give a better view

Anonymous Confirmed ticket purchaser

Could not see all the lower acts but other than that seats good

Jane Confirmed ticket purchaser

We had row y in the stalls which for the viewing of the stage were brilliant, they just seemed to be very cramped, I'm not tall but even my knees were pressed up against the seat in front.

Second row - so very limited visibility of the cast - we could only see from the knee upwards! Also very hard seat - the front row looked to have been renewed, but ours were not. People around us did move as they could not see very well. The fact that the stage level was raised so much meant the front few rows had very limited visibility.
