About Ambassadors Theatre
- The theatre has a seating capacity of 444 seats, spread over 2 sections — Stalls and Circles.
- Visitors can find the best seats in the Stalls and the front two rows of the Circle.
- The theatre is an intimate and small one, which means that even the back rows of the Circle offer amazing views of the stage and performance.
- The Circle overhang encroaches into the Stalls restricting the view of those seated in a few of the back rows of the section.
- If you’re looking for discounted seats with a decent view and enough legroom, book seats in the last four rows of the Circle.
