The TempestDisappointing seats. Large part of stage out of view. Main part of set was only visible to those sitting downstairs or further around the gallery. Seats were terribly uncomfortable. No solid backrest. No armrests. Had to control foot movement in case of hitting patrons in front! Being high up, we were near to the candle lit chandeliers. Very, very hot! Absolutely stifling. The seats were not cheap. I expected a better view and a little more comfort/ventilation. The play was absolutely atrocious. We left at the interval. My first and last time at Sam Wannamaker!Upper GallerysectionDDrow3seat

My Neighbour TotoroDreadful seats. Side view. Large portion of stage was obscured by the set. The puppets were only seen from a side angle. Seats were roomy and comfortable. Ample legroom. Padded seating. Armrests and backrest. I decided to move seats in the interval and located a superb front facing seat in the Circle. Able to view the incredible puppetry from the correct angle. A fantastic show. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Many, many flights of stairs to teach the Circle! Very slow exit due to the crowds.CirclesectionCrow82seat

Pagliacci , English Touring OperaDecent seat. Back row, but still a good view. Backrest. Armrests. A little uncomfortable towards the end of the opera. Ample legroom for an average sized individual. Steep viewing angle. Rake was good, but a tall person sitting in front would block your view. Safety light remained on throughout the performance in corridor behind the seat, which did detract some enjoyment from the performance. The show was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful.Upper CirclesectionFrow14seat

The Holy Rosenbergs ✡️Superb seats. Back row. Perfect view. Brilliant rake. Comfortable temperature. Seats are a little hard. No armrests. Minimal backrest. Ample legroom. Small theatre, so a very intimate feel to the performance. A very powerful show. Staff were friendly and courteous. I found the venue very difficult to locate. Toilets are situated outside the theatre.StallssectionFrow17seat

The Holy Rosenbergs ✡️Lovely seats. Amazing, clear view of stage. Good rake. Very intimate feel due to the size of the small theatre. Seats are at the back. A little hard. No armrests. Minimal backrest. Perfect temperature and acoustics. Ample legroom. Staff were friendly and courteous. I found the venue very difficult to locate!

RigolettoReasonable seats. Bench, so no armrests. Limited legroom. Ample space to place coat and bag under seat. Great view of stage if you are prepared to lean forward for the whole performance. No padding. A crucial part of the opera was played out on the far right of the stage. We were just about able to see it, but many others could not. Unsure as to why it wasn't played out in the centre of the stage.To experience the atmosphere & spectacle at a reasonable cost, I would definitely sit here again. The acoustics and temperature were perfect.Upper SlipssectionCCrow6seat

A Mirrored MonetAmazing seats! Perfect view of stage. No obstruction due to the brilliant rake. Close enough to see the facial expressions of the actors. Isle seat with incredible leg room. Ample space to place bag and coat under seat. Padded with back and arm rests. The auditorium was slightly cold. The show was vibrant and colourful! Staff were friendly and helpful.StallssectionDrow12seat

YentlBrilliant seat. Bench seat, so not much padding & no armrests. Wall behind, so there is a backrest. Clear, unobstructed view of stage due to excellent rake. Ample room to place bag and coat under seat. Amazing leg room. The show was astonishing! Really enjoyed not being crushed up against other people! The entrance door proved a little distracting with late patrons coming in after the show had started. They have to walk past the seats, directly in front. Perfect temperature. Seats a little uncomfortable, but great value nonetheless. Would definitely sit there again! Staff were very helpful and friendly. A lovely theatre.StallssectionBenchrow5seat

Broken GlassSuperb seat. Amazing view of stage. So close, it felt very intimate and personal. Comfortable seats. Bench style, so no armrests. Slightly padded. Backrest. Fantastic legroom. Plenty of space to place bag & coat under seat. Perfect temperature. The house lights remained on in our section for most of the performance, which I found uncomfortable. See above photo. Real cigarettes were smoked on stage. The performance was astonishing. A powerhouse of a show! Staff were very friendly and helpful.StallssectionDrow76seat

Giselle ( Ballet)Fabulous seat. Bench style, so very hard, with no armrests. Ample legroom for an average sized individual. Space to place coat & bag under seat. Fantastic view, but you have to lean forward! Clear acoustics. Comfortable temperature. The performance was breathtaking. Slight restriction of view stage left, but it did not detract from the enjoyment of the show. A wonderful experience!Amphitheatre ( Upper Slips)sectionAArow21seat

The Rat TrapBrilliant seats. Back row. Amazing leg room. Room to place bag & coat at right side. No armrests. Hard seats, but still reasonably comfortable. Small backrest. Intimate theatre with all seats in the round. Good views for everyone! No obstruction to the stage view. So close, in fact, that I really was able to feel the emotion from the stage. Pleasant temperature. Very friendly and courteous staff. The play was superb. My first visit- definitely not my last!200sectionCrow45seat

Carmen , English National OperaThe last row in the Balcony. Very high up, but still felt part of the show. Uncomfortable seats. Tilted slightly forward. No real padding. Backrest. Armrests on right side. Isle seat. Ample legroom. Plenty of room to place bag & coat under chair. Once the person in front takes their seat, the view is obscured. Navigation around them is essential!

The Lady from the SeaA very good seat. Fantastic view, but you have to lean forward! Very high seats. Reasonably comfortable. Back rest. Footrest & bar to lean on. Armrests. Ample legroom for a medium sized individual. Once leaning forward, there is no obstruction of stage view. Be prepared for a short period of very strong light, which shines directly into this area! The auditorium did become a little hot as the show continued. Staff were friendly and courteous. Great value seats. Would definitely sit there again! The show was amazing. A must see!Gallery 2sectionBrow59seat

The Sicilian VespersA decent seat. Ample legroom for a smaller individual. Pleasant temperature. Backrest. No armrests. The seats are bench seats, so quite hard with no real padding. The view is restricted by a safety rail. It is, however, possible to view the performance through the rail or lean forward over the rail. Good view of stage. Missed some of the show to the right, but it wasn't a problem as the whole stage was utilised. Very good value even with the restricted view. The acoustics were phenomenal. The performance was absolutely breathtaking. A wonderful evening!Amphitheatre Upper SlipssectionCCrow18seat

The WeirGood seat. Reasonably comfortable. Padded. Armrests. Backrest. Ample space under seat to place a small bag & coat, freeing up additional leg room! Pleasant temperature. There is a safety rail cutting across the view. This can be rectified by either leaning forwards or relaxing down into your seat. It really isn't a problem. The play was fantastic. Gleeson was on top form. Staff were courteous & helpful. Ladies toilet has only 1 cubicle on this floorBalconysectionArow20seat

The Harder They ComeVery good seat. Towards the back of the auditorium, but still felt part of the show. Seats are on the small side. Padded with back and arm rests. Warm auditorium. Acoustics were phenomenal. Missed a little of the performance due to the overhang, but it wasn't a problem. The show was breathtaking. Filling the hall with uplifting energy. Powerful message. Incredible music.StallssectionMrow17seat
