Seat wasn't super narrow, but it's wasn't wide either. Leg room is sufficient. View was fine. There are three very steep steps up to this row. You will want sensible shoes to make the ascent. Toilets are conveniently located immediately behind the row
Excellent view of entire stage. Equipment mounted on front of balcony did not obscure view of stage.

This is the view if you want to sit comfortably. To see the stage you have to lean forward, almost sideways on with your legs against the balcony edge. Even though the ticket is cheap, it's almost not worth it.

Only 2 scenes where you can't see from this Balcony seat, when actors are on the 'first floor' and front right corner as you face the stage. Had to lean in a bit but surprising good leg room. Would sit there again given the ticket price.

Good view of the stage. Some of our group had to lean forwards to see better but I could see fine.
Good view, you are very high up but can see everything on the stage. Great legroom and seat is comfortable. Minus point is that you have to enter from the other end of the row, there are stairs to your right but they are blocked off for some reason. Steps are steep but there are handrails. Also be aware that there are a lot of steps from the entrance up to the balcony,it's good exercise!
It is quite a steep incline but the photo was taken sitting back in the seat and provided a good view. Therecwas no need to continually lean forward to see everything. Forcthe price it was very good value.

Good view for price. Gallery overhang but not a problem during ithis show as no high scenes
First seat in first row, very close to the stage, slightly obstructed view, when - as in Fawlty Towers - actors are standing or sitting right in front of you! Good choice anyway. Good legroom.
A very large theatre, you are very far back. We fortunately managed to move closer in the 2nd half, mostly because the audience around us were incredibly loud.
Aisle seat. Close to exit and toilets. Good view and sound

Box B in Grand Circle is described as restricted side view but this is misleading - when seated on the chairs provided there is no view of the stage whatsoever. If you stand up then only half the stage is visible, I strongly recommend you avoid this Box.

A tall person sat in front of me which obstructed my view!
I'm 6ft 2 and 20 stone. Good leg room and reasonable knee room for dress circle. Definitely OK and half price of stalls

Reasonable leg room with a good view but feels low may be better in row E

great view, quite central to stage

Brilliant. Absolutely hilarious.
