Notes

STALLS  Layout: Seats run across the entire width of the theatre until row H. Row HH exists in the centre of the auditorium, with further rows in the central block continuing behind it. Two aisles split the rest of the seats at the back of the theatre into three sections. The Dress Circle overhangs the stalls at row H. The top of the stage is not visible from row L back. The front two rows are designated AY and AZ, before the third is designated A. This means the unwary will be seated three rows further back from the stage than the traditional alphabetical order might suggest. The rake (sloped floor to help see over rows in front) begins at around row B and is noticeable all the way back in the auditorium. Legroom: Legroom throughout the stalls is acceptable for most - only a 6ft tall reader found it a little less, best in A1, C1, 2, 20 and 21 and J1 to 5 and 19 to 23, all of which have nothing in front of them. A16 also has 95% clear legroom, and L 1 and 25 around 80% clear of anything in front. Row AY seats 3 to 11 also have generous legroom too, maximum in seats 7 and 8. Choosing Seats in General: Front Section: Seats in rows AY to H are all fine - shorter folk may wish to avoid the very front row if the stage is high, though. Row AY 3 to 12 also gets more legroom as the row curves - though AY 14 notably gets less. The rake from row B to H ensures particularly good views from these rows -  sitting in the central seats of these rows ensures maximum value for money.  If central seats are at "premium" price, the monkey would skip them - view-identical seats are available nearby at a far lower cost. Rows HH to Z are in the rear half of the stalls. The central block is acceptable if one can live with the very low ceiling and missing top half of the stage - though the monkey doesn't feel anyone will be totally unimpressed sitting here as only any action at the very top of the stage might be missed. A price drop around row Q or R makes these first pick over a more expensive row in front. Rows T to X may be cheaper still. The monkey would take T over dress circle L at the same price for both comfort and view.  Same price Upper Circle seats might edge them for view value though, if legroom isn't an issue, feels the monkey. Side Blocks: The side blocks of rows J to X feel like satellite colonies for some reason, and the odd viewing angle is mildly irritating. For most productions, monkey feeling is that the extreme ends (first and last 3 seats in row J back) are the third choice of ticket, as there are more central seats for the same price, and the overhang is most noticed here. Lighting may also be hanging in view from the circle above. Row Z are "flip down" square perches rather than traditional theatre seats, without backrests, so that audiences lean directly against the theatre back wall. Padding is planned at some time, though it hasn't happened by 2012... and the monkey was first told it might in 2010... Less comfortable - though amazingly priced considering the view and position near an exit door. Z1 in particular is a cheap bargain as it has a view straight down the aisle beside it. General Hazard Notes: The circle overhang is noticeable from row L back. For productions with a lot happening at a high level, the view gets so poor that producers have been known to curtain off the rear rows to prevent embarrassment! Speakers fixed to the walls of boxes either side of the stage may cut views from end seats. When a sound desk is positioned in the centre of the back rows of rear stalls, there are five seats either side (3 on one side of row Y). The monkey is didn't think any of these were particularly awful - purists might want to avoid T 12 to 18 if they don't want anybody shuffling around above and behind them, perhaps. Changes for the current production: AY is the front row. The staging puts some scenes more on the "high numbers" half of the stage. Everyone else sees fine, but if you are deciding which side to sit on, the monkey thought the information might help a bit. The stage is set back from the front row, and the orchestra pit is deep. All but the shortest should get to see performers' dancing feet but not the conductor's head, great! Row E to J "Premium" seats are not worth the extra money particularly - better seats nearby at a lower price, feels the monkey. From 30th September 2013, more sensible pricing Wednesday to Friday reduces the 'premium' seat area substantially, making more nearby seats great value. Rows R and S at second price: the monkey would give R a look in particular, for a similar view to Q, at a lower price.  Those seated against the wall will miss action at the extreme side and rear side corner of the stage, plus (on the "low numbers" side) get an eyeful of a badly located speaker hung on the wall of the box near row F right in their sightlines. "The pair of seats right next to this sound desk at a lower price. The monkey really liked U11 and U19 - cheaper and with a decent view, it felt. Even those in 12 and 18 won't moan that much either for the price. On the other hand, those in X are nearly as lucky, but those in Y9 and 15 will miss a bit more - not so great value. Reader Comments: "A5: "Dirty Dancing." view was really good. The rake was great so I could see the stage clearly and I saw everything." "C 7 and 8: "Dirty Dancing." Although I could see the stage well I would say that it was a little to close to the action and would have preferred to be further back, certainly not any closer as I had to move my head from side to side to see all the action. However, the theatre is quite small so it did feel quite intimate and allowed the audience to feel like part of the action." "F17 and 18: "Top Hat" (May 2012), (Frank): Paid £35 per ticket under the GILT scheme, which was very good value. Unfortunately, the seating arrangement isn't the best for a theatre, as the rake is too shallow and seats barely offset. Fortunately the people in the rows in front of us weren't very tall, but even so our view was affected at times because of the above. This was more noticeable in some scenes where the characters were seated on either side of the stage; tap-dancing enthusiasts may be slightly disappointed that sometimes the main characters' feet are obscured by audience heads, as at times they tend to dance towards the front of the stage. There is, however, a lot of movement across the stage by the whole cast, and, therefore, this didn't detract too much from our enjoyment. Choose your seats carefully, but go and enjoy!!" "H4: "Top Hat" (May 2012). Was OK, but the seat was rather low (a complaint also made by the woman next to me) and there are nasty metal struts towards the front of the seat which dig into one’s hips, well they dug into mine, anyway!" “H7 and 8: “Cool Hand Luke,” (Chris B). Good seats, nicely placed about halfway back in the stalls, offer a good clear view of the stage and are close enough to feel fully immersed in the show. There is more than ample legroom which is always a bonus. This is a nice place to sit in the stalls.” H11: "Top Hat" (May 2012). Went to the theatre box office about on and a half hours before the evening show! Got offered premium seats in Row H for �£32.50 instead of the �£85 normally! Was very pleased with this! I sat in seat 11! Excellent central seat! Great view you could see everything here! Legroom I've never had so much ever! Very spacious! I see why they cost do much! But you can get a bargain at the box office!"... if you are VERY lucky on a quiet night (this was during the London early August events in 2012, notes the monkey. Worth knowing, though, as it can happen any time...) "J 4 and 5: "Cool Hand Luke" (September 2011). J plenty of legroom, a little tight in the seat, but we're big people. All you stick insects will probably be fine. Very good view of the stage." "J6 and 7: "A Round-Heeled Woman" (November 2011). I'm 6ft tall and would've been uncomfortable in seat J7 due to the limited leg room but luckily J6 is an aisle seat and so I could stretch my right leg out for comfort. The row in front is HH - and is not well staggered in my opinion, with the seats almost lining up with the seats in row J making it difficult to see past the heads in front (it doesn't help that there appears to be very little rake between these two rows either). Having said all that, when the people in HH1 and HH2 slouched a bit or leaned to one side we had a near perfect view of the stage." "K7 and 8: "Cool Hand Luke" (September 2011). We had a great view of the entire stage and didn't feel the ceiling above intrude at any point. I'm 6ft tall and felt legroom was slightly uncomfortable for me and could almost feel a cramp developing by the end of the show (luckily my small friend didn't mind me intruding in on her space a little with my legs. She found her seat (K8) to be a tiny bit uncomfortable to sit in (not soft enough she said) but nothing major." Stalls Boxes Layout: Boxes C and F are really just raised bits of floor in alcoves to the sides of the stage, below stage level and a few inches above stalls floor level.  Legroom: Normal chairs provide excellent legroom. Choosing Seats in General: A very average view of about two thirds of the stage, looking upwards at it. More comfortable than other seats at the same price in the upper circle, and if you feel that lurking in a corner of the front stalls is for you, it's not a bad choice. General Hazard Notes: Two thirds or more of the stage is lost. Changes for the current production: Not in use at "Top Hat" (May 2012). Reader Comments: None. DRESS CIRCLE  Layout: The Upper Circle overhangs the Dress Circle at row B. Single block of seats facing the stage, rising in steps. Slip seats extend from the front of the circle down the sides towards the stage, in front of the boxes. Legroom: Legroom throughout the circle is average, better in rows back to E, slightly more in the last two seats at the ends of row B to M, and maybe a tad less in central L and M. Row A has less legroom due to a wall rather than seats being in front. Slip seats 3, 5, 29 and 31 have least of all with the wall curving inwards, 1 and 33 have more as it curves out there. Choosing Seats in General: The circle seems close to the stage creating an intimate atmosphere. No rail blocks the view (though there are short ones at the end of the aisles) and only rows J back feel a way from the stage. The rake (way seats are arranged on steps to help see over rows in front) is steep, allowing a good view of the stage until row E. After this point the low circle above begins to restrict views of the top of the stage. The monkey is inclined to skip row M in particular at second price as it seems a bit overpriced. At the sides of the Circle, row A slip seats 1 to 6 and 28 to 33 offer a close up view of the stage with only a shallow triangle of the nearest side not visible; unless willing to lean. Only problem is, if others follow suit, you see less - take seats 1 and 33 first. Aside from that, not bad at third price or less, feels the monkey, who only keeps them "red" as leaners could be a real issue. Seats C1 and C25 can be removed to provide a large wheelchair space, and transfer to C1, 2, 24 and 25 is possible. The customer gets a fairly good view, though a rail is slightly in view if the chair is beside C1 or 25. When wheelchairs are not present in front of them, those in D1 and 26 have nothing in front but a low loop of safety rail, allowing extra legroom and unobstructed views. General Hazard Notes: Clamps holding the lighting rail in place are in front of some row A seats, with masses of lighting dangling from the circle front too. These do not affect the view significantly. Aisle end rails - pedants might want to sit one seat off the aisle in row A to avoid them. Changes for the current production: Most central seats in rows A to C at "premium" price. The monkey would skip them - view-identical seats are available nearby at a far lower cost. Also, row A isn't that comfortable for legroom for the taller. From 30th September 2013, more sensible pricing Wednesday to Friday reduces the 'premium' seat area substantially, making more nearby seats great value. Slip seats 1 and 33 in row A have been removed as speakers intrude too far into the view. Numbers 2 and 32 are now only sold if every other seat in the venue has been taken, and then only from the theatre counter itself as they can explain the exact problem. Either way, worth missing, feels the monkey, as there are plenty of great seats elsewhere for the same bananas. Rows L and M are cheaper. Same price stalls for comfort and closeness to the action are probably a better bet, feels the monkey. Reader Comments: "A17 and 18: "Top Hat" (May 2012), (Chris B). Centre seats, perfect view, only a smallish theatre so you feel close to the stage and part of the atmosphere. However the seats have quite restricted legroom, could just fit my legs and I'm 5'8". Seats are one of the more comfortable in the West End though." "B16: The perfect play to see the show I think. And what a lovely theatre! Seats were very comfortable and view great." "F26 and 27: "Dirty Dancing." We purchased the ‘top’ tickets, figuring as it was a bit of a treat for us, we might as well get good seats! However the seats when we got there –  in the dress circle had a restricted view – very disappointing! We were unable to see the left side of the stage, and the steps there – where at least a couple of the scenes take place. Needless to say we wrote to the company who supplied the tickets, but apparently they are ‘fair value for money’!! Not in my opinion. So, if you are considering buying tickets for this show be aware if you are in the dress circle check the seating on ‘theatre monkey’, and if you are on the ‘end’ of a row, there is a good chance you will have a restricted view." "G 11 and 12:  "Dirty Dancing." (Beth). Very good seats view-wise, but not the most comfortable of theatre seats." "J19 and J20: "Top Hat" (May 2012). Excellent view and much more leg room than the Palace Theatre - my 6'4" companion had no complaints at all."     Dress Circle Boxes Layout: Boxes B and E are on ledges to the corners of the Dress Circle. Boxes A and D are between the circle and the stage. Movable chairs are used in all boxes. Legroom: Excellent as seating is on chairs. Choosing Seats in General: If you can jockey your seat into a position as close to the "circle" end of the box as possible, you'll gain comfort and privacy (if you buy all the seats in the box). What you won't have is a wide view of the stage. A and D see more than B and E. Box D can house a wheelchair and companion. Users should take the space at Dress Circle C1 instead.  General Hazard Notes: Boxes B and E offer a very average view of about two thirds of the stage. A bar runs across the front of the box, adding to the problem. From boxes A and D about half the stage is not visible. Speakers set here will restrict the view further - and be noisy too of course. Changes for the current production: None. UPPER CIRCLE Known as the GRAND CIRCLE in this theatre. Layout: The main block of seats is split by a cross aisle into front and rear sections at row D. Two slip areas at the sides of the circle between stage and circle. Legroom: This varies widely by row. There's none at all in rows E or G. Row A for those over around 5ft 6 may be uncomfortable. Row D offers most due to a gangway running in front of it. Rows F, H, J, K and L offer at least reasonable legroom to all but the very tallest. For some architectural reason, the first six seats on the "low numbers" side seem to have the most in these rows. Slip seats in row AA are movable chairs, with decent legroom for seats 1, 2, 11 and 12. The rest have less due to the curve of the circle wall. Choosing Seats in General: Front Block: Aside from legroom issues in row A, the view from the front three rows is decent enough. The monkey would choose row D at full price, though, for comfort alone. At the sides of the Circle, six slips seats are tacked to the ends of row A. These are movable chairs, and you'll have fun shuffling them around for maximum viewing - you'll see little if politely leaving them against the wall. Views depend on arrangement and how far you are prepared to lean out. A total budget choice, and pick carefully. 1, 2, 11 and 12 have more space than the others. Rear Block: Aside from the discounted "restricted view" seats at the end of row D - always a bargain - the rest of row D is preferable to the rear stalls row Q back since more of the stage is visible from here, even at the same price. Legroom is excellent, but you could be disturbed by latecomers shuffling along the aisle in front of you. Note that the first and last four seats have the circle aisle end rail in view, and if you are shorter the rail in front of this row may also make it worth a miss, a reader in C1 noted. Behind, E has less legroom, though putting a leg through the bars will give a little more... but annoy those in front... skip these if possible. Row K offers a cheap way to see the show. Sure, its at the back and you'll look through heads, but legroom is good. Behind, a reader moans that seats in row L were pretty bad, with a view of the row in front rather than the stage as they are raised only on a very low plinth. They are much cheaper now because of this, still maybe something worth knowing, when on sale. On checking, the monkey felt the plinth had been raised a little and that anyone seated here actually gets a reasonable view - and can sit on the "end" of a tipped up seat to get even more of one if required. You will probably miss the very front of the stage if there are heads in front blocking it, though. General Hazard Notes: Notorious for being high and steep, the view none the less is generally good from most seats. Only rows G back feel, naturally, a little remote from the action. A metal bar runs across the front of the circle cutting into the view from row A. Further bars at the aisle ends affect views from outermost seats in rows A to D. Further bars run across the front of rows D, E and H, but don't cut into views except for the shortest. There are no arm-rests in seats from row D back, and from row E seats are far narrower, with straight upright backs. Most are also not conventional "tip up" theatre seats, but fixed down. Changes for the current production: Rows A and E, plus the ends of rows D are at third price. If you can bear the limited legroom and the bar in front... row A is a bargain for the short, the monkey feels. Row E less so (due to legroom). Much better for legroom and bar avoiding is row D. They have discounted the first and last five seats in row D to account for rails in view, making 4 and 26 worth a look for sure for price and comfort, and the remaining three also well worth thinking about for legroom at the same price as the cramped row behind. Reader Comments: "Row AA: "Dirty Dancing." Strange seats at the side of the upper circle. at an angle... not a good view in my opinion but not uncomfortable." "Row AA 1 and 2. "Dirty Dancing." Both of us agree that these seats are under priced. At first when you walk up to them, they look like normal seats. You sit down and can't see anything! But the seats can be moved forward right to the edge of the bar in front and with a slight lean you can see everything but anything at the very edge of stage left (which is nothing really). The lean did not hurt our backs once, and I have had a bad back since a very young age. For £15 I would get these seats every time. No one is behind you so you can get up and dance, stretch your feet and there's plenty of room to put your feet up as well. These seats are so comfortable I took my shoes off like I was at home. Excellent, if you don't want them, I'll have them!" "F 12 and 13: "Dirty Dancing." Excellent views for £33. I'm short so leg room was fine for me. But it was VERY hot up that high - one woman passed out!" "F20: "Dirty Dancing." (James). View was fantastic and really didn't feel a long way from the stage at all, could almost see all the action, rake very good. I found leg room fine, more of a problem was width - I'm not a large person at all, and neither were any of the people around me, but I was very cosy to the people on either side!" "G15 and 16. "Dirty Dancing." (Karen). I have to say the view was great and it was raked so that not even the person in front could have blocked your view. HOWEVER, leg room is REALLY tight. I am 5"4 and I have never been so uncomfortable. We were packed in like sardines. I know they were the cheaper seats but for £35 we got fold down seats with not even an arm rest separating you from the person next to you."   Notes Total 1176 seats. Air-conditioned auditorium.

On leaving the station, turn right and walk into the large pedestrian plaza that is Covent Garden. If you see a long road with cars in front of you, wrong way. On entering the plaza space, turn to your left and walk along the collonaded area. If you see Tesco Metro Supermarket or a bank, Wrong way. Keep walking ahead as far as the collonaded area will allow (it forms the outer part of the market Square). Follow it to the right. At the end of the building is Russell Street. Walk along Russell Street, crossing one road, until you reach a street corner with the Fortune Theatre to the left and the Drury Lane theatre ahead of you on the opposite side of the road. Take the road to your right, Catherine Street and walk on past the entrance of the Drury Lane theatre. If you do not pass the entrance doors, or pass the Fortune theatre, wrong way. Pass the Duchess Theatre. Cross to the other side of the street and come to the Strand Theatre.  Turn to your left and walk across the front of the Novello Theatre along the curved road. Pass the Waldorf Hotel doorway and the Aldwych Theatre is ahead of you on your left at the next corner. If you come to a bridge or the Lyceum theatre, wrong way. ______________________ An alternative worth considering is that also close to the theatre is Temple Station - Circle Line (yellow) and District Line (green). This is closed on Sundays and some other times, so check before using. If it is open, then leave the station turning left. If you see the river, wrong way!
