  • The arrangement is divided into three sections - 561 Stalls, 337 Dress Circle and 283 Grand Circle.
  • The theatre offers good views from pretty much all levels since it is tall and narrow in design.
  • However, if you want the best views of the stage, then book a seat in the Stalls. 
  • A few rows in the rear stalls might be slightly obstructed due to the overhang from the Dress Circle but your viewing experience on the whole is unlikely to be affected.
