How many seats does the lyceum have

In particular, Row R in the stalls has no seats in front of it, offering the most legroom in the house and your chance to be centimetres from the cast as they parade through the audience.

At that point it feels there is a choice. It could then either pay more for "low numbers" side J, K then L or go cheaper for row E on either side. After that it's personal preference whether to be further away in "low numbers" M and N or closer C to A in that order on both sides. Bear in mind the further forward you go, the less you see. Rows R to ZA are little colonies with access ways in front.

The view is distant from the stage and the seats feel isolated from the action. Take S to W only if nothing better is offered, and note that from X back they are much cheaper, and perhaps worth a thought if you can't get more central tickets for the money take Dress Circle rows M and N before these, though.

Side block row W back is cheaper, as are extreme ends of rows S to V. The monkey would take the nearest central aisle seats in W or X first if possible. The rear stalls ceiling is low and painted dull purple making a gloomy atmosphere in the back stalls. A reader has noted that D37 and 38 have a restricted view during a "Signed" performance, due to the signer standing near there.

Price bands are allocated to seats following two patterns. The monkey will refer to the patterns as "A" and "B" for ease. The pattern used varies daily according to perceived demand. Actual seat prices are then set by price group 1 to 5 - cheapest to most expensive. Pattern "A" gets either prices group 1 or 5.

Pattern "B" gets prices groups 2, 3 or 4. Centre block seats in rows E to N are "Super Premium" price. Rows D, P and Q, plus D 16, 17, 31 and 32, the four seats off the centre aisle in side blocks E to P and row R 5 to 43 are "premium" priced. One way to guarantee an outstanding view, if you are happy to pay it, thinks the monkey. It would, however avoid rows N to R at that price, though - a long way back for the cash, it feels.

Seats in the side block are last pick at premium prices, feels the monkey, particularly the two furthest from the centre aisle. If you really must have extra legroom, side block row R may be attractive - save a few pounds and grab R 2, 3, 4, 4, 45 and 46 at second price, perhaps.

At top non-premium price, monkey advice is that those with smaller monkeys should look at C to A in that order , and in the side blocks rows G to K non-premium off the centre aisle. Second price seats are limited to rows S back. S17 to 30 is good going. At third price there is Y 23 to 33 - 33 being a rather nice seat for an aisle encounter Third price further forward is available in the restricted view corners.

The monkey would look at F 8 and 9, G 7 and 8 first, then H 7 and 8, J 6, 7; K 6, 7 and L 5, 6; M 4, 5, N 4, 5 before going opting for the equivalent end front stalls on the other side of the theatre. Possibly might have got a better overall view from the dress circle but you certainly felt part of the show being so near" Before the conductor's podium was moved, they also felt, "Theatremonkey seating plan says A20 is not good due to the view of the conductor but seated just one seat to the side of this I could not see this as being a major problem.

The head of the conductor is in view for all Row A and B seats in the centre section for some part, but it's not too bad. Literally behind the conductor, who is raised, so was in our sight the whole time.

Experienced the show completely differently as from Row N. We sat in the stalls Row A seats 24, 25 and If I went again, I would sit in the centre stalls about 6 to 10 rows back. Worth the early start as "day seats. I'm also glad I wasn't sat further along the row towards the centre because my view would have been obstructed by the rather large head of the conductor, complete with Tina Turner hair do!!

Sit in the stalls. I cannot stress this enough. Yes, you get a better overall view in the circle and yes, there are parts of the play that take place high up but the stalls cannot be beat for the wonderful experience they offer. I have seen this play four times, twice in London and every time I have been in the stalls. There is nothing like their immersive experience, particularly the front ten rows.

The best seat I had was in the stalls row D seat Seats in the central row of the stalls are a must to get the best view and nearer than row C and you might have a conductors head in front of you. However, I was not made aware that it was a signed performance and that the signer was right in my line of vision blocking off much more of the stage and significantly impacting on my enjoyment of the show.

I feel that when a show is signed anyone buying these tickets should be made aware that the signer is right in your line of vision and this includes blocking out the scenes on top of Pride Rock. Our tickets were just off the aisle in the stalls centre block on row E, well what a fantastic view we had!!

Lots of legroom and a perfect view". You miss a bit of the action that is taking place on the extreme left of the stage but this only happens in two scenes. The opening and closing, because so many people are on stage.

I had a singer come right next to my seat and tap it with his stick! But my seats were actually good :. Close enough to see the masks, the make-up and the actors' expressions and far enough to see the whole action. The seats are not very comfortable but the legroom is acceptable.

We were in Row H of the stalls which was perfect. I had a perfect view of the stage for the first half of the show. In the second half, someone the same height as me sat in front and I found it difficult to see the back of the stage at times but otherwise fine it did however make me feel even more sorry for the shorter gentleman sat behind me.

Wouldn't normally pay this much but I was treating my mum for her birthday. Great legroom, superb view and you are next to the aisle in the centre block which means the animals parade past you at various points in the performance. Once again Theatremonkey's green seat recommendation is spot on. There really is only one place to see this show and that is from the stalls. The view was reasonable, but if I went a second time I would sit in the middle block and a little further forward as, at times, the actors appeared somewhat distant.

I must also say that my seat was one of the most uncomfortable I have sat in, in any theatre. Not too far back and not too close to the stage. The legroom wasn't too bad either considering I'm 5 foot Absolutely fine seats and would have no hesitation booking them again.

My youngest sat on the aisle and had a clear view and the added bonus of the animals walking by. One of the hyenas tried to take off her shoe but she put up a good fight! I did notice that, if we had been any further back, we wouldn't have been able to see the top of the stage so I think row S is about as far back as I would want to be. The rake is not pronounced, so tall people in front would be a problem, especially for children.

One either side of the stage. These have a side view, which one reader is keen on, preferring them to Dress Circle boxes. They are actually above the stalls, not at the same level. Unlimited, as the seating is on chairs, which can be moved around. A reader notes that it is actually more cramped now an extra 2 chairs 4 in total have been squeezed in, and you may have to move them near to the front wall to see properly.

You miss the side of the stage nearest to you. I had 2 tickets for box C and it was one of the best seats ever. I had booked a box for a surprise for a friend and didn't want him to know until we got to the box, the staff were brilliant and didn't let on until we got to the box. The box is above the stalls and is really close to the front, it is slightly restricted view but you only miss about a minute of the action the whole show so it is worth the discounted price.

As you are able to move the chairs and lean on the side you can move about and see everything else. SPOILER: We were particularly excited when one of the cast members joined us for the beginning of act 2 and she was very nice - saying 'hi' before the song started. I would recommend anyone to go for these seats if you are looking for cheaper seats but want a brilliant view.

There are only 2 seats per box though. You could see a little of what was going on offstage right but as myself and my friend work in theatre this added to the excitement. I would definitely recommend Box D over this one for this reason.

I would not recommend them for older people as the viewing angle and space make it a bit uncomfortable. One nice touch is that you get to use the Ambassador Lounge which is lovely with free nibbles and a glass of prosecco on arrival. I must say that I consider these ideal if you have a small child with you. The left hand side of the stage is cut off a little true - but my grandson was able to stand, and his view was very good and the box is very near the stage for a little one - and no 'tutting' off people sitting by you as there are only the two of you in the box.

The chairs were a little old-but that was bearable! The left hand side is a bit obscured, but you are pretty close to the front. You can move the chairs around and lean on the edge of the box so you don't really miss anything. Great seats if, like me, you tend to fidget having to sit still for so long, and of course no problems with legroom! You feel a bit like royalty in there, and can talk quietly between yourselves during the production without disturbing anyone. If you don't like crowds or chattering kids its ideal.

I'd really recommend a box for romantic couples or for parents with kids. It felt more like a private performance just for us. Good value!

We saw this show last night 20 June The Lyceum Theatre has a capacity of seats, including seats in the Stalls, seats in the Royal Circle and seats in the Grand Circle. Use our interactive seating plan to view seat reviews and photos of views from seat. Boxes in the Stalls are tremendous fun to sit in and are usually cheaper than seats throughout the Stalls, due to the height and the side-angle.

Otherwise, sitting in the rear of the Royal Circle or in the front of the Grand Circle offers some good views for a discounted price. Some of the best seats are in the front section of the Stalls and the Royal Circle. Sitting in the aisle in the Stalls allows for a tremendously immersive experience, as you will be able to see actors and puppets close-up.
