Decent view, nobody behind either. J11 next to me was good for tall people as it was an aisle seat

Great view considering we are third row from the back. Not a lot of leg room. I am 5’6” and have about 2 inches between my knees and the seat in front

Last-but-one row, rear stalls. Under the Circle - but top of proscenium still visible. Sound control booth to my left - but not restricted by it. Good leg room - I’m 6ft 2in tall. View slightly restricted by people in row K (no rake)
So close to stage, could see the whole stage and cast close up. Good leg room!

A great view, and close enough to stage to see everything. BUT zero leg room, your toes are jammed against the barrier in front and the back of your legs against the edge of the seat, so it's very uncomfortable. Seats in the next row back are better.
Lots of legroom (pictured!) but as the seat is set further back from row C (see my review for that row with stage view pic) the view is hampered by heads. Row F behind ok, but high. I'd be fuming if sitting in row C or D for the upcoming Jodie Comer show.
Smallest seat I've ever sat in, for width and leg room. I'm 5f 7in and it was terrible, knees touching person in front, cant have been fun for him either, and I was shoulder to shoulder with person either side. Empty seats behind us so switched at interval

Good legroom but very obscured view due to row in front having a different (higher) style of seat
Great legroom, but the seats in the row in front are quite high so view was almost completely blocked by the heads of the people sitting there

Good view. Seats quite snug

Personally worth saving nearly £30 on a ticket, still had full view up to the back of stage
Great view of stage and able to lean forwards and see the actors mingling in the stalls at the start. Not much leg room (I'm 5'9").
The supporting structure for the upper circle blocks views in this seat. Especially near the front of the stage.
