Seating - Avenue Q

jackieblack

Looking at tickets for Avenue Q.

Would you need to sit in the stalls to get a good view of the puppets?
How good is the view from back half of the Royal Circle?
And higher?

(I've never been to the Wyndham Theatre before so seating plan doesn't really mean alot!)

Hi Jackieblack,

I would say that if you can sit in the stalls for Avenue Q, it is quiet a small theatre, but you want to see the expressions of the actors and the puppets so I would suggest to sit as close to the front as you can, although the stage is quiet high there. Also being at the back of the Royal Circle, you will miss some bits of the top of the stage, due to the overhang of the circle above. What day did you want to go? Avenue Q closes (sadly) on the 30th October, so you need to be quick. The theatre is quiet small though, with only about 700 seats on 4 levels.

The front row of the stalls is a bargain at £19.50 if you can get it, and the Friday at 5pm shows are cheaper than the other midweek shows. Dont bother about paying for the premium seats unless its a special occassion.

Hope this helps, and you enjoy the show.

Hi Rob
Thanks for your reply, yes we heard it's closing, that's why we're trying to get tickets now - before it closes - but, understandably they appear to be in short supply with little choice of seats.
Also we're limited to when, before the 30th, we could go - we don't live in London and the combination of work commitments + School + travel + available tickets don't seem to be working out at the moment. I haven't (quite) given up yet though.
