What are the best seats to enjoy the show to the full?
In this theatre, the seats are relatively close together, so they’re quite cramped.
Areas to avoid in the theatre
The high boxes to the left and right of the stage generally do not offer good visibility. You may need to bend over to see certain parts of the stage, which can detract from your experience of the show.
We strongly recommend the mezzanine area. It offers full visibility of the entire stage.
