GENERAL "BUY OR AVOID" SEAT GUIDE
Almost all seats are a single price. The gap in price between premium and package seats and the next price is large.
In the stalls, rows AA to C are prime at top non-premium price, and there are odd seats next to the premium ones on E and G worth having as well.
"Premium" and "premium package" seats are interestingly priced. If you are going "premium," you may as well take the package seats if you plan to have a drink and snack - you could come out almost ahead on the deal.
Try not to take the ends of rows D to N, or from O back. You will be paying the same as others who have a central / closer view.
The dress circle has the front two rows at premium price. On A you will be paying a lot for no legroom. If you must take B, fine, but again there are better seats around it, a lot cheaper.
Skip E and F, a long way back for the bananas, though in fairness F1 and 19 do have legroom worth grabbing.
Ends of B and C, and all boxes on this level are not on sale yet. The monkey will update as available.
The upper circle is the same price as the stalls for the most part. Take all seats up here last, people will be paying the same as you downstairs to be closer and more comfortable.
If going second prices, edges from B back are acceptable (A has little legroom). Take benches last, though H 1 and 8 do have legroom at the price.
Boxes in the upper circle are not yet on sale, the monkey will update as available.
The monkey advises checking performance times on your tickets and that performances are happening as scheduled, before travelling.
Monday to Saturday at 7.30pm
Runs 2 hours 30 minutes approximately, with one interval.
