Hi

Went last week and had Y3/4 in the Stalls. View was OK until the scenes on the bridge and upper reaches of Fagins den then all I could see was feet as the view was obscured by the circle ceiling that stretches out above the stalls.

As it was my first ever trip to the West End could not mention about the balcony seats but the view should be better than the stalls.

Show was bl**dy good though

This might help http://www.theatremonkey.com/DRURYLANEbooking.htm#Th

thanks for replying
its just the balcony seats are the cheapest so I'm a bit worried that the view might not be that good

Went in January in the balcony seats. They are very high up and quite a long way back. Not the worse view i've had (Avoid balcony seats at the palace theatre like the plague!) for the money they are ok seats. Have a look at theatremonkey.co.uk for seats plans and seat reviews. Also have a look at their special offer page as I know offers have started to creep up

I've sat at the front of the balcony and its a pretty wonderful view, apart from missing the very front of the stage.
Oh and you do see a couple of things that you shouldnt.

Agree with yellowmonkey about the back of the stalls, anything from 2/3 back was really awful when Lord of the rings was on.

Discount theatre and others are doing deals at around £34 for top price tickets too.
