Dreadful 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.
40💷The field of view is very clear; the front row is quite low and doesn't obstruct the view at all, though it's slightly off-center.The only problem is that the sit is really high up and far from the stage, making the actors look tiny.

A good seat for the price but you did miss a fair bit of action on stage left!
Great view, end of aisle seat so there is plenty of legroom. Comfortable, tall backed seat. Just be aware that as the seat is on the end of the aisle you'll have to keep getting up to let people get to their seats as the other exit to the row is right over the other side, I lost count how many times I had to do so.
incredible show with incredible puppetry, small audience interaction when the smaller puppets were at the front of the stage

you dont really miss anything that would be noticeable to the story but you can definelty see how the set/costume works so takes some of the magic away if you're coming to watch and enjoy just the show

Managed to get a good deal on these seats, advertised as limited view, but had a great view throughout!

Fantastic seat; great, central view of the stage. The seats are graduated so no problems with anyone sitting in front blocking the view.
Really good close central seat. High enough to see stage floor.

Fantastic seats, with full view of the stage. Only thing that isn't visible is 1/5 of the orchestra spots, but that's absolutely not a big deal. Though a little pricy, I really recommend these seats to have a perfect view of all the fantastic set pieces.

Good view of entire performance and band
Great seats with plenty of legroom and a fantastic view, you can see the entire stage clearly. Being so centrally located, you won't miss a thing.

Decent view for a good price. Could not see extreme stage left.

Really good view, close to the stage
Great to not have any one behind you. Only 4 stars because of the ceiling slightly obscuring the view. But otherwise good
