Amadeus
Peter Shaffer’s iconic play returns, starring Michael Sheen as Salieri and Callum Scott Howells as Mozart. Set in 1820 Vienna, it tells the electrifying story of composer Antonio Salieri's dangerous obsession and calculated campaign to destroy the brilliant Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose talent he both worships and despises.
Buying advice
How to book
Amadeus sells steadily, so you can usually pick a date and a seat without racing. The peak surcharge is steep, though: mid-range seats run £60–£95 off-peak but £80–£135 at peak, roughly 42% more, so an off-peak date is the easy saving.
Ways to pay less
There's no need to book far ahead, so pick an off-peak date if you can, as mid-range seats are about 42% more on peak dates. The best value is in the Grand Circle, where the steep rake helps, or the Balcony if you don't mind very tight legroom. The biggest saving is for groups of ten or more, who pay £65 a head for Stalls and Royal Circle seats on Monday to Wednesday performances.

Where to sit
At the Noel Coward, the Royal Circle is the premium level, with superb elevated views and only a minor overhang. In the Stalls, the overhang clips the top of the stage from Rows N and P back. The Grand Circle is the value pick, with a steep rake but tight legroom, and the Balcony is the budget choice: highest, furthest and very tight. Seats run from £20 to £205.
