Victoria Palace Theatre

Accessed via just four shallow steps from the foyer, the ground-level Stalls hold nearly half of the venue's total capacity across an expansive seating footprint. Because the stage platform is built notably high, sitting in the front Rows B through D offers incredible closeness to the cast but requires a distinct upward head tilt and can cut off the sightline to the performers' feet. Past Row E, the floor rises on a steady, beautifully calibrated modern incline that ensures completely clear sightlines over the audience in front. The Royal Circle balcony overhangs the rear seats starting around Row Q, but thanks to massive structural height upgrades in 2017, the ceiling does not clip the top of large, multi-level sets until the final Rows U through Y. Centre seats in Rows F through K (seats 15 to 28) represent the premium standard, offering a perfect, undistorted view of choreography without any neck strain. Taller theatregoers will appreciate the 2017 overhaul which expanded row pitch for generous knee clearance, and choosing a seat along the longitudinal aisles offers ample extra space. Furthermore, the rear left of the Stalls provides direct, step-free access from the street, with dedicated wheelchair spaces in Boxes A and F featuring wide doors and companion seating.
