Get up close to the action on the ground floor. A decent rake usually means you'll see over heads in front, but be warned: the Dress Circle overhang kicks in around Row K/L.

From there, the very top of the stage gets progressively obscured, and by Row M onwards, you might find the proscenium arch or high-set scenery partially cut off. Legroom is generally fine in the central blocks, though it tightens up towards the ends of rows.

Expect a slightly angled view from side seats, especially those further forward.

Widely regarded as offering some of the best overall views in the house, this first elevated tier boasts an excellent rake, ensuring unobstructed sightlines across the entire stage. Front rows give you a commanding, elevated perspective without feeling too distant.

Legroom is generally good throughout. The Upper Circle overhang only typically affects the very last few rows, from Row H onwards, where the very top of the stage might be cut off.

Central blocks provide a direct, head-on view, while side seats offer a slightly angled but still comprehensive look.

This highest seating tier, often called the Upper Circle, offers more affordable tickets. It features a notably steep rake, which helps maintain sightlines over rows in front, though the descent can feel quite pronounced.

Views are generally clear but will certainly feel more distant due to the height. A key warning: the safety rail at the very front (Row A) can cause a significant obstruction for shorter people, often requiring you to lean forward.

Legroom here is generally more restricted than in the lower tiers, particularly in the rear rows. Side seats can have more pronounced angled views, and some seats towards the very back and sides may experience minor restrictions from architectural elements or the proscenium arch.
