Very high up, obstructed part of the stage at the back. Not much leg room. Take £1 for the binoculars!

Can see the action but you have to position yourself constantly to look around the safety bar. Seats in the gallery have no armrests (stalls and circle do). Very narrow seats. If fear of heights, avoid steep steps down by using lower gallery entrance.
Great budget seats, can see full stage despite the safety rail, didn't even notice it during the show. Leg room is ok, not loads but not too cramped. No arm rests so depending on size of your neighbours, can be a little bit cosy. Access is by very steep stairs down (but not as bad as The Palace in Manchester). Would I book these seats again? 100% yes!!
Great view, good leg room. Seats aren't the most comfortable but they are fine. Only slight side of the stage may be cut off depending on the set, however is not as bad as they say when marked "restricted viewing"
Good end seat next to the stairs. Good view, although some of the left backstage was restricted view. Nevertheless for cheaper seats it was a good seat. 4 stars because of the slightly restricted view.
Great seat, plenty of leg room for us. We moved seat, along the row, (as the majority of the row was empty) from seat 7 & 8. Much better view of the rear of the stage and more central.
We had 6 seats in this row K6-K11 All really good views. All the stage could be seen with no over hang from above in the gallery. Plenty of leg room for average height adults, anyone taller may feel cramped. We would book these seats again.
The view was brilliant; I could see absolutely everything throughout the show. The theatre itself was lovely and the seats were super comfortable which made for a great experience.

We had the perfect view from this seat. The theatre itself was lovely and comfortable.
This is the view we had for Swan Lake on Jan 21st. Great view missed parts due to the tall person in front of me. Great views and far enough to enjoy chororeography and close enough to see facial expressions.

Not very comfortable and no room, cheap seats for a reason. Still enjoyed the show though
Literally the back row in the middle, actually not a bad view if tbh r people in front are sat still but you can stand

Top of stage slightly obscured by circle above. Seats in the venue are not plus size friendly. I am a size 22 and found it very uncomfortable
Front row. Part of the action. Lots of stares from the cast. Sir Ian McKellon was super.
Amazing show Amazing cast Grandson loved it (9yo)

You can see most of the stage, not worth big bucks but good if you get them at a reasonable rate.
