High seat (bar stool type, not a regular chair), good view, you might miss things happening off stage under your seats

The view from this seat is good as you're not far away from the stage but there is a pole in the way which means at some points you need to just move left or right when it obstructs an actor but it's really not an issue and the seat is great value

Great seat and view. The small venue makes it really intimate and you don't miss anything.
14/02/26. Small theatre, good leg room. Perfect view. Row C includes columns, so row D and behind could have view issues, but C is fine. They call the stalls "Basement".
Great, unobstructed view. Some action on the left was missed but didn't detract from the show. Legroom is very good but seats are quite narrow for people with bigger bums. Overall, great value seat!
Good view but you will miss what is happening right next to the stage on the left. They are high seats without elbow rests, so you might be quite close to strangers next to you
This is the view from just over the barrier, not too bad at all but I suppose it depends on the production you're seeing

Great view, could see Karnak and the projections very well. Some cast members disappeared when they moved further downstage because of the balcony but mostly a fabulous view!

Good seats, some leg room and complete view of the stage !
Karmak is slightly cut off. Cannot entirely see of the projections but great seat for the stage and lots of interaction w/ cast.

Terrible seat with large pole in the way and it's not even discounted

Good view but you will miss what is happening right of the stage. This is a high seat but you can lean on the safety railing and it is not so bad
Amazing view, fantastic sound!

Speaker blocked our view of Karnack
Fantastic seat where you can see the whole stage and lots of legroom. Only negative thing is you are looking down onto the stage though.
