Venue Tips

✨ Best For

Light-hearted shows, plays, comedies and modern musicals. Perfect for fans of SIX, date nights, groups and theatre-goers exploring the Strand and Covent Garden.

💺 Best Seats

Stalls centre for full sound and energy. Dress Circle front rows offer an excellent elevated view. Upper Circle front-centre provides strong value and clear sightlines in a compact auditorium.

⚠️ Seats to Avoid

Avoid far-side Upper Circle if you prefer a head-on view, and back rows for taller visitors due to the shallow rake. Overall, sightlines are good because of the theatre's size.
