Stalls seats are on the ground level of the theatre. Typically, stalls seats can be regarded as some of the best seats in the auditorium, due to their close proximity to the stage. If you're sitting in the first few rows of the stalls seats, you may even be able to touch the stage and see performers blink. As is the case with the majority of West E...
Alluded to in their name, premium seats are usually regarded as the best seats in the theatre. Often, they're not the closest seats to the stage. Typically, premium seats are a few rows back from the stage in the middle of the row, allowing audience members to see the entire stage without missing any action. As they're the best seats available, pre...
Either called the dress circle or the royal circle (depending on the theatre), this refers to the second level or seating. If it's in a theatre with two levels, the dress circle will be the top level. Dress circle seating is a great option if you want to see every moment of a show from a higher level, rather than being on the same eyeline as the st...
Either called the upper circle or the grand circle, this type of seating refers to the third seating level in an auditorium. Upper circle seats tend to be quite high, so you may not be able to work out the facial expressions of actors on stage. But, any performer will be able to carry their performance to the highest levels of the theatre. Upper ci...
Either called a gallery or balcony seating, these are the highest seats around. There's only a couple of theatres with enough auditorium space to accommodate for gallery seating, with the Harold Pinter Theatre and Theatre Royal Haymarketallowing for four seating levels. To reach gallery seating at a theatre, you may have to climb additional sets of...
All seating levels in a theatre may have "restricted view" marked on specific seats. Each West End theatre will have varying numbers of restricted seats, labelled as such as there are obstructions that could impact the experience of viewing a particular show, including overhangs, safety rails and pillars. If there's different scenic design in two p...
Want to see a show without sitting next to anyone else? Wishing you could have your own space in an auditorium? You can if you book box seats. Also known as a loge or loggia, box seating is great for small groups who are looking to stick together at the theatre without sitting in a line. Box seating is likely to be a more expensive seating option, ...
The vast majority of London theatre tickets allow each attendee to have their own seat. But some theatres will let patrons in to stand. For example, audiences at Shakespeare's Globecan stand and watch a Shakespeare play, just like groundlings would have done centuries ago. Standing tickets may not be sheltered, so you'll have to pray that it's a su...
- Sitting in the stalls. The stalls are ‘ground level’ seating – the bottom tier of an auditorium. While you might find yourself looking up at the stage (sit further back in the stalls if you want to avoid this) they’re also considered some of the best seats in the theatre.
- Sitting in the dress/royal circle. Leap up one level (or take the more conventional approach and walk up the stairs) and you’ll find yourself in what’s known at the dress circle or royal circle.
- Sitting in the grand/upper circle. Above the dress/royal circle you’ll find the grand circle or upper circle. Obviously the higher you go, the further you’re moving from the action.
- Sitting in the gallery/balcony. If you’re in a theatre large enough to have a fourth tier of seating, this will usually be the gallery or balcony. Like with the upper circle, you’re further away from the action, so while the performances will reach you, you might miss the odd nuance or flicker of expression in the actors’ eyes.
