You have to lean to get a view of the full stage like in my photo. The good thing is all your seatmates will so it's not gonna be an awkward thing to do and there's no more row in front or at the back of yous. You can see the orchestra from here just fine.
the view was sensational, and only minor moments where the characters went into the stalls were missed. the main issue with this seat is the complete absence of leg room and how uncomfortable the seat is, but this is an issue across the theatre, rather than with this seat in particular
Very good seat, you could see most of the show with ease. Most of the show is aimed this way. If there's someone tall in the next row down, you may have to lean a little bit but the rake is steep enough that you'll be fine for most of the show.
This seat was absolutely perfect; I could not have picked any better. D is a great row because you can clearly see the whole stage with no obstructions at all. Would highly recommend this seat.
No cameras allowed in this immersive production of Cabaret, so you will have to go. The upper circle is arranged in boxes, which are comfortable and roomy. Fantastic view of the whole show. Reeve and Eva were amaxing BTW. Lots of stairs up.
(photo from the website but I wanted to review this seat) REALLY good view there was a tiny bit you couldn't see, the image is a little decieving it's extremely good in person, you may have to lean over a bit and it can be a bit tight but that's all seats!

For the cheapest tickets in the theatre we were not too disappointed. You can see almost the whole show and there’s a soft barrier in front for you to lean over and not get achy. Paid £33 for this seat and went with 5 others who were in the same row

Absolutely stunning seat, no photos are allowed and they put a sticker over your camera lens. The rack is good which meant I could see everything (very rare as I'm 5ft 3). The show is amazing, get there when the doors open as there is pre-show entertainmen

Excellent view for the price of the ticket. Clear eyeline to the stage and close enough to see faces. Very little leg room though. Shame about the very tall man sitting two rows in front of me but that has nothing to do with the seat itself!
Fantastic seat. Expensive, but so well worth the money to be this near the stage on a table for two. Really felt part of the production and got to appreciate the attention to detail and the nuances of the performances.
amazing view and amazing show, however there was a lot of leg room and the balcony wall in front of me was quite high , as i am a short person i had to lean forward the whole time to see the entire stage, but it wasn’t a big deal
Great view. Pitch is good so no obstruction. The large chandeliers ascend to the ceiling when the show starts. Event is in the round and the actors work hard to ensure everyone gets a great view. I feel they may have been bias to the side I was on.

Great view, great legroom.

Great view. they do not allow any photos so took this very quickly! The seat not so comfortable as it is a long evening!
No photos allowed inside theatre. Seat was perfect, you are allowed to lean on the barrier but no need to as the view was perfect.

AMAZING SEAT, missed absolutely nothing, may need to lean forward a bit but really comfortable, just not much leg room
View OK. Lack of leg room. Miss a little part of right hand of stage.
