Choosing the Best Seats

Seats in a West End Theatre venue are generally spread across these sections: Stalls, Dress/Royal Circle, Grand/Upper Circle, Balcony. Let’s take a brief look into these sections and help you select the best seats for your West End experience.

Stalls

Seats in the Stalls are closest to the stage and as a result, also the most expensive in the house. The views from the front rows in the Stall are arguably the best and they also place you closer to the action. As is the case with every theatre, seats in the center of the Stalls are the most expensive while seats along the aisle and towards the sides are relatively cheaper. If you’re looking to have a special time at your show, then you can’t go wrong with seats in this section.

Dress/Royal Circle

The Dress Circle is the first elevated section in a West End theater. Seats in this section will have you looking down at the stage rather than looking up, as is the case with seats in the Stalls. The Dress Circle is quite a popular seating option amongst theatergoers as it combines good views with affordable pricing. In fact, front central seats in the Dress Circle are considered to be among the best seats in the house with their panoramic views of the stage.

Grand/Upper Circle

The Grand Circle is the second elevated section in a West End theater and is located above and behind the Dress Circle. Seats here are located quite a distance away from the action. This makes seats in the Grand Circle fall under the “budget” category. If you are looking for a budget West End experience and choosing between front seats in the Grand Circle and the back rows of the Dress Circle, then go for the front few rows of the Grand Circle.

Balcony

Theaters with a large seating capacity have an additional Balcony section. It is the highest seating level in the theater and also the furthest away from the stage. This makes the Balcony the cheapest section in the house.
