Bang in the middle of the row; theres only one row in front and seats are suitable staggered so youre looking between heads; no neck strain as the stage isnt particularly high; seats and legroom are comfy enough. Was a bit concerned about how restricted the view would be but it was absolutely fine.

Rake is only slight but the seats are staggered - 5 foot nothing me had no problem seeing everything. ________________________, I was on holiday with my family all the way from Brisbane Australia and me and my sister went to see "Phantom of the Opera". I felt sorry for Earl that he had to work with such a bad performer who was overacting all the time. Unfortunately - 50 is rather a stiff price to pay to see such a good performer. 2023 whichseats.com, Her Majesty's Theatre (His Majesty's Theatre) Stalls Q16, https://www.whichseats.com/index.php/her-majestys-theatre/stalls/q/16, Seat Q16 in the Stalls at the Her Majesty's Theatre (His Majesty's Theatre), Her Majesty's Theatre (His Majesty's Theatre). I was a little worried when I read about the huge cast overhaul that had been made a couple of days prior but I needn't have worried - I found the show magical, I sat mesmerised throughout the whole performance and had constant shivers running up and down my spine that started the moment they raised the chandelier at the auction house to the very end, it was wonderful! There are still rumours of dead spots around Hamer Hall, where the music is dulled by acoustic blackspots, but we think this is largely apocryphal. No problems with heads in front and I'm only 5 ft 6. strangely though I do find the seats uncomfortable, the seat pad itself seems large and very square so for my smaller legs my feet barely touched the floor, the seats also seem to lean backwards. Managed to get 3 tickets in the stalls row M, seats 20,21,22 - checked out this guide and thought fair value was acceptable. Tiny leg room, but otherwise an excellent seat! It reaches off the stage, grabs you by the throat and begs you to empathise or at least sympathise with his plight. The sound is perfect, the view is perfect and this time there was lots of legroom. _____________________, After waiting over 20 years to see 'Phantom' I finally made it over to the West End last week (10th September 2008). I adored Carlotta. I have always loved the music and have watched the recent DVD release a few times but NOTHING compares to the live stage version. Best seats are EE 29 and 30. You all make Phantom sound dreadful, so any one just put off by what these other people have written - ignore them ! This is the third time I've seen POTO, and each time the ending keeps the relentless pace, and the huge contrast of feelings - sensational! However, really enjoyed it still produces the old goose bumps it has to be said the music is great. I think all the Manchester Front of House staff should be sent to London to be trained! _______________________________________________. A Front of House man (who had been entertaining us with his witty banter earlier) raced to the row and told them to move back to their own seats but they didn't. CLICK SEATING PLAN TO ENLARGE IF REQUIRED. Swansea Front Row Seats. John Owen-Jones made a decidedly un-menacing Phantom (great Valjean but ropey Phantom - remind you of anyone?) If you really want to see a particular show I would go for slightly better seats. This is not the Andrew Lloyd Webber / Sarah Brightman Story because occasionally the musician also bursts into song. One small word of warning-do not go to the stage door to see the cast! She's Portuguese so I'm guessing that English is not her first language, but you'd never guess from her performance. Also with the notes at the end she was too late opening and closing her lips. Slightly perplexed, I informed her of the conversation had the day previously with a See box office member of staff, she hinted that this keeps happening and See continually give out wrong information, and that I should make a formal complaint to them about what had happened. My wife and I were very much looking forward to seeing John Owen-Jones as Phantom, after recently seeing his superb Valjean. We were allocated seats in the Grand Circle; K22 and 23. Come on, recast already!! Beware of their Best Available Seats offer. I hope to see Brian reprising the role in the future as Phantom himself, and not as his understudy. Good view of the stage though quite high up. Saying that I thought the set and costumes were well produced. _______________________________________________. Looking to bag the best seats in the house? I know which one I'd choose ;) My cousin is only 5'5" and she said there was not much leg room either. The upper circle and balcony areas are tired and need refreshed. __________________, I was visiting London from the US July 25 2005, and luckily procured fantastic tickets for Phantom of the Opera. Five minutes later at 14.22hrs I was given an even better seat in stalls, K11. Nic Greenshields was in the role, however! However stay clear of cheap side seats! The only seats to avoid are the ones on the very ends of the rows in the balcony. The size and space of the seats is uncomfortable enough to start with, but the added discomfort of the heat made for a very unpleasant and painful experience. No seat is far from an actors point of command; and the span of the seats matches their effective span of vision. Excellent seats. MAY, 1810. The box office clerk said they were running in a new cast and this made it even more enjoyable, queuing whilst listening to some good choral singing. l think this is a great performance, I would have to disagree with the monkey saying it was ''lame.'' It gave the whole performance a strident edge that I did not enjoy. It's closer to the MCU than many people would like to admit. It must have been eight months or so since I saw it and, as far as I can tell, since then only the Raoul has changed which, frankly, can only be a blessing. Que sera sera! The only reason I went was to see Alex Rathgeber, because I had read a review about him titled 'London's Best Aussie'. I have since listened to the music from the original cast (Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman), but in my opinion, Earl Carpenter (Phantom) and Rachel Barrell (Christine) are far more talented. >My favourites are: "Masquerade", "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" and "Think of Me", although I love all of it. Sarah, It would seem this row has been made smaller due to the premium seats in front of it, but having the asile seat meant I could stretch my legs out fully was the only saving grace. This was a relatively new cast and I think they needed a bit more bedding in as, although they were good, I had seen better Phantom casts (and worse, to be fair). This sweeping, irrepressibly inventive novel, is a romance, but a romance of We have both seen the show four or five times before, going right back to the Michael Crawford days and the performance last Thursday was up there with the best. The latter turned out to be the case. The atmosphere, the stage effects, props and set design were top notch and the costumes gorgeous. We'll probably revisit next year if the kids demand!! Our budget was limited so we got Grand circle, F24 and 25. It was probably the best birthday I could give my little girl. ___________________________. The 3 or 4 good tunes are all played in the first half an hour, which leaves a good two hours of "musical mess". I'm not overly keen on it, but my girlfriend wished to see it, so off we went. Go right to section Stalls Seats here are tagged with: allows food and drinks has an obstructed view of the stage has awesome sound has great sound is padded Jarr50 Her Majesty's Theatre The Phantom Of The Opera Excellent. I really dont waste much energy crying over spilt milk. This show knocks spots off the movie and I am currently reading the novel, struggling a little with it as it is quite different. I wish they would hurry up I would never, never have booked this seat had I known there was a pylon directly in front of it. His Majesty's Theatre. Pretty central and close to the stage so you can really experience the show. The day was made even better when regardless of the fact he would be performing later Scott spent around fifteen minutes at stage door talking and having pictures with us. This row is one back from the handrail which means you're always at the mercy of the people sitting in front who sometimes sit forward and obstruct your view. I deliberately didn't buy the cheapest tickets available as I wanted a good quality viewing experience, but I fail to see how we had anything other than the worst seats in the house. We sat in the Royal Circle rows A and B (couldnt get 6 tickets together) and although one or two parts of the performance are out of view when they go to the far side of the stage generally good seats. The view was very good (except for the lady in front of me who had quite big hair) but apart from that, no complaints, plus you get a fantastic view of the Phantom up to no good in the rafters. We sat in the Grand Circle D17 and D18 which is right in the middle. If you dismiss her in the first scene. (11th January 2011 matinee, Stalls G12 and 13). I phoned the See Tickets box office number the day before I went (as the theatre does not have its own telephone line) to check that you could purchase day seats like other theatres in London. His stage presence was good and he certainly had a haunting quality, but I felt that his singing was a bit too 'pop star'-esque for the role. Some problem was occurring and the management were called and then more waiting followed and hovering in the eyeline edge continued. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Karen. The show is almost impossible to describe, as it is so good. (Central Stalls an' all!) Erl Carpenter was good, but not in the league of John Owen Jones, who is fab. . To be fair, it was very well done: the sets were impressive, and the execution was pretty flawless. Messrs Colin and Asa Mccarthy-Burton Sofia Escobar and John Owen-Jones were incredible as the two leads, both with a combination of astonishingly good voices and great acting. This show, along with 'Les Misrables', is one of the "crown jewels" of West End theatre. A feature of the performance I'd never really been forced to consider before in the theatre was the amplification of the singers. Gee Colin. The beautiful sounds of Lloyd Webber's music, combined with the wonderful lyrics of Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe, stay in your mind for weeks on end and, to be honest, it's not really such a bad thing! Christine was one of the only redeeming qualities. So if it's slightly less Operatic than the rest- this is forgivable. This meant that most of the auction scene at the beginning was ruined and that is quite important in setting the scene and building atmosphere. At this point, I didn't know what was happening to me, the music caused the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up and I felt a shiver down my spine. I was very pleasantly surprised. We sat in the stalls row G seats 15 to 18 (GREEN on the Monkey's plan).

Although you are blocked 15% of the stage, the play is so powerful that you can work around it. The best thing about Hamer Hall is simply being in it, now its had its multi-million dollar makeover; its the only venue in the world that makes bright orange feel classy. >My mum and I sat in seats 18 and 19 of row A in the Upper Circle. Dave Lorenz. The rest of the show he seemed very tired and bland. In reality she is, but a little research told me she played Christine from September 2004 to October 2006 and received very good reviews, so hardly an understudy! Dont recommend this seat at all. The roles of Christine and the Phantom really are quite demanding and emotional and at the end I actually felt sympathy for the poor old Phantom and was left wondering what would happen to him. While its largely true of all the big venues, its especially true of the Princess: those back rows of the grand circle (the top level) are ludicrously high, and watching a show from them feels like peering at an ant colony from a helicopter. But that is only a little moan, we were so caught up in the show it didn't detract from it, we just had a good stretch in the interval and settled down again for the second half. Phantom is also a quiet musical, and does not rely on deafening the audience to be effective, apart from the natural crescendos within the score, and obviously the Phantoms theme tune The lighting is absurdly clever, as are most of the special effects. I truly wanted him to kick the Phantom's butt and get the girl, ha ha. The Phantom fellow no-doubt has a very good voice, but the absurdity of the scriptwriting/directing is such that he only unleashes his lovely voice in force on exactly TWO notes. Ramin is different every time. The seats looked quite new and were very comfy. The legroom wasnt too bad ( I am 5 feet 5) and the seats were a standard size. She loved the whole thing, but was a little bit worried that the chandelier might fall on our heads! It was a brilliant show and I want to see it again. Delivering a range of family entertainment, pantomimes and musicals, it is one of the most prolific venues in the city. Neither did they do anything to silence the couple behind us who were just carrying on a conversation during the show. Key moments were missed - if I didnt already know what happens in key places Id be confused as to what was going on! ______________________________, Stalls F10:There's a good view of the whole of the stage even though the seat is nearer the end of the row. They were very good seats as the bar was only slightly blocking our view. I had two problems with the production though. The cast was excellent, and the Phantom's performance was quite impressive and emotional. Needless to say when we see this production again Mr. Owen-Jones has a lot of convincing to do. If you're in the stalls you won't see the chandelier fall or like below the knee on everyone. However I decided I would give him the benefit of the doubt. Purchased tickets for here for a show in July. I think this understudy made no difference in my enjoyment of the production. Cashier said sometimes very good seats can be available at the last minute for 25. He's cool enough, not stupid Roaul with his high pants and stupid hair! The Musical which brought the dress circle forward, making it a pretty good location if you want to take in the production's set. ), but the true star of the show has to be the one and only John Owen Jones as the Phantom. ___________________. She should have got the Phantom!!! Slight block from the right and left side of the stage depending on which side your seats are on. Konrad from Berkshire. We had hoped to see the incumbent Phantom, John Owen-Jones after being mightily impressed by his latest performances in the 'Les Mis' tour and the 'Three Phantoms' concert but unfortunately illness had struck and so with much trepidation we took our seats to watch his alternate Scott Davies. Earl Carpenter as the Phantom was so fitting. He completely lacked stage presence, had no voice to speak of and overdid the histrionics to the point that the Phantom became a caricature rather than a sympathetic figure. We also booked drinks for the interval and reserved a table, or so we thought, but when we got there our drinks and canaps had just been put on a table and two other people had nicked the seats around it, so we had to stand to eat and drink. Michael Xavier is a great improvement on David Shannon in the role of Raoul, Vicomte de Changy and Christine Daae's lover. They join Matt Blaker as Raoul and Kelly Glyptis as Carlotta, Matt Harrop as Monsieur Firmin, Adam Linstead as Monsieur Andr, Greg Castiglioni as Ubaldo Piangi, Francesca Ellis as Madame Giry and Ellie Young as Meg Giry. ( We wish we had seen our fellow Welshman John Owen-Jones to compare). Carlotta and Piangi I cannot comment on - I find the characters terribly irritating. These are probably the most uncomfortable stalls we have ever been in but the view is excellent and the small theatre itself (looking from the stalls) is lovely, very sweet and intimate but desperately need new updated seats!! Its an iconic role that demands much of its performer, far too much it seems for Mr McCann. Will Barret as Raoul, well, sorry but he's awful. Anna Forbes as Meg seemed to change the way she played Meg the last time I saw her with Sofia. Book London Theatre Week The Phantom of the Opera tickets in London on TodayTix. Phantomwell this is one of my favourites. She was also excited by the falling chandelier and ducked as it passed over, but I would prefer to be further away. we laughed out loud because that summed up perfectly our experience at Her Majestys Theatre. I thought I must have been tainted having seen the movie far too much, and that it was just me who was mildly disappointed by the acting efforts of Earl Carpenter and Oliver Thornton. Having now also sat in the Stalls, the depth of the stage is more visible from the upper levels, for example from the Dress Circle I could see the entire blanket of smoke covering the stage floor, whereas from the Stalls (F16, F17) the floor of the stage is at eye level so from that angle the blanket of smoke appeared as a thin layer overflowing the stage. I think all the seats in the stalls at both sides at the back will be the same. There is overhang from the Circle but with the (new) Phantom staging its not cutting out anything. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePhantomOfTheOpera I cannot honestly fault anything at all and we are going again for certain - it's the best show we have ever seen. And as my friend said to him 'he has nice hair'. Unfortunately, my camera had no battery and was charging at home so I'm definitely going back to get photos, which they very kindly pose for. Still the best theatre show of all the theatre shows Ive seen. One word of advise to first timers though, make sure you're sat in the first seven rows of the stalls or the first three of the dress circle. We were on the balcony in row B. Being only 10 more than where we sat in the Grand Circle Row J before, these seats are much much better. Loved every minute of it. Unfortunately, the audience seemed as badly behaved as ever at this show - one woman sat behind me was munching crisps during the first act, whilst a man sat behind me was translating the show for his friend. The costumes, especially the lavish "Red Death". I have seen this show many times now, including the original cast of Crawford and Brightman, and I have always sat in the Stalls or Dress. She played Christine with great intricacy and sensitivity. My biggest gripe is that the great singing that one would have every right to expect from an "opera-based" show is virtually nonexistent. John Owen-Jones and Celia Graham played the lead roles and were fantastic. South Wales We had 2 seats in row B of stalls (front row), what a nightmare, No leg room at all!!!!!! Placed at the end of the aisle in the centre I could see everything and even the slight overhang above did not obscure too much of THE chandelier. We'll earn a small commission. You lost the very front left corner if you sat right back, that was all. Rachel is by far the best singer I have ever seen in the part, not sounding in pain or like she was struggling. The only action missed, which amounted to perhaps just 1 minute in total, was missed because I was sitting in the rear stalls, under the overhang of the circle. 3.5 stars for the seat, just 1 star for the musical!" In fact, I would say about a maximum of 10 minutes through the whole show is spent watching people lean. So go see the show. How to get here Her Majesty's Theatre is located at 58 Grote Street, Adelaide, which is on the north side of the street. I really cannot praise the show enough. How have you got on at the show?Tracey shares some of the best of #Cuba Salsa, and #Cuban Music in this playlist, with #Merengue, Bachata, #Samba, Mambo, Baila Loca Music to dance to. Another flexible space, this one is rarely set up the same way twice, so choosing the best seats can be a bit of a crapshoot. However, very disappointed with Theatre Tickets Direct. To return to the See Tickets 'incorrect information issue', I emailed them the next day outlining the problem I had encountered. This utterly detracted from the action unfolding in front of us as we were unable to focus or immerse ourselves in the performance due to the distraction of our pain. were used to very dramatic effect and quite simply worked. 18th November 2011, 7:30pm I prefer the old staging, and the older orchestration. I somehow managed to miss seeing Phantom of the Opera until the end of May 2005. We simply want to catch JOJ as Phantom before the imminent arrival of our baby, as we will be unable to do much theatre afterwards.) As the climax approached I felt my eyes moisten and I was totally engrossed in the fine performances. Phantom of the Opera, 22Oct2017, I knew I would have a restriced view but it wasn't too bad. The staff member who checked our tickets told her co worker that she was, and I quote, "f@#king wasted last weekend" not the sort of language you expect! The only tiny problem with view the seats is that you cant see the head when the Phantom enters (2 second obstruction), at the start of Act 2 and the chandelier blocks the phantom for a few seconds when he is at the top of the stage at the end of Act 1. You may also get moved to a better seat if the auditorium isn't full! To add insult to injury, the couple sitting in front of me decided to lean forward and put their heads close together so by that point I'd had enough and I asked them to sit back as otherwise I would have missed the chandelier rising up. here) that the Grand Circle isn't particularly high. I had booked row E seat 1 of the royal circle for that night's performance as I had been wanting to see Katie Hall as Christine for AGES - and I was also pleased at the thought of seeing John Owen Jones as the Phantom, as I had previously seen the two actors in the 'Les Mis' tour last year. Not being a fan of Lloyd Webber works, I must confess a soft spot for Phantom. Terrific view of the stage and actors, it was great to be close enough to see the expressions on their faces. When the Phantom was on top looking down he seemed to be looking directly at us. ___________________. I loved it. We were front row of the Dress circle and the view could simply not have been better. Can't wait to go back and see it again. if you are in Royal Circle (where I was) you have to choose a seat to stage right because we were unable to see many scenes that occurred in stage left without leaning well forward. (is that a word?!) I will say it is hard to decide where the good seats are. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and the music was played beautifully. Amy Seat prices change according to demand for a particular performance. He brought back a vulnerability to the role that hasn't been seen in a Phantom since Michael Crawford in my opinion. The major problem is the sound. Also its right by the door so you can make a quick exit." I was worried that the stage would be high and we'd get a crook neck from looking up, but the stage is low and the view was amazing, we couldn't see the chandelier going up once it had passed the Grand Circle, due to the overhang, but that's a small price to pay for such a clear and close view of the cast. Get over it!! Myself and three of my friends booked tickets to see Phantom for the 5th of January 2010, and should have taken the adverse weather as the first sign that we should have stayed at home. When the chandelier lifted up to the ceiling over our heads and the music started I unashamedly cried. Rachel Barrell played Christine and Andrew Thwaite was Raoul, and there was a stand in conductor as well. The actor who played the Phantom could not be faulted. These seats are very good. Go see this man in this role before he leaves. After showing initial promise with some very impressive effects, it soon became apparent that the cast was not able to keep up with the set. It was an okay experience, but I wouldn't go back, or recommend it. The material has been carefully compared Maximum 2 per person, first come, first served. We sat in stalls row "J" seats 3 and 4 and had a really good view of the stage. _____________________________________________. I had an absolutely brilliant view here. I didn't find the seat very comfortable. The only gripe is I had to move from side to side to see the centre of the stage, due to a tall gentleman sitting directly in front of me, but this must have applied to those sitting behind me due to my height. Right on, monkey - what a lacklustre event Phantom at Her Majesty's has become. He seemed so active and young around Katie, he was bouncing around the stage. The sets quite good..and some of the songs quite memorable. 16th November 2007 The cast is completed by Hollie Aires, Connor Carson, Corina Clark, Michelle Cornelius, Edward Court, Lily De-La-Haye, Hywel Dowsell, Serina Faull, James Gant, Eilish Harmon-Beglan, Emma Harris, Yukina Hasebe, Thomas Holdsworth, Olivia Holland-Rose, Jacob Hughes, Grace Hume, James Hume, Tim Morgan, Michael Robert-Lowe, Eve Shanu-Wilson, Tim Southgate, Anouk Van Laake, Jasmine Wallis, Ralph Watts, Skye Weiss, Simon Whitaker, Lizzie Wofford and Andrew York. The view from here was brilliant, and absolutely fantastic for the chandelier moments, as well as enabling you to see the Phantom at the top of the rig (which you would miss out on if further forward or under the overhang if further back). There are some poles in the way and as has been said below the view can be blocked by the balcony above. I was in the Grand Circle in seat F21. Kirsty This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. ___________________, I am a huge, huge Phantom fan and firmly believe that the show is the best in the West End but after seeing it last night (29th April 2005) I was hideously disappointed. Ok, enough of the money talk. With Sofia she seemed a bit more mature to compliment; but with Katie she acted so much younger, they did seem like childish yet lovable girlfriends. How anyone can say 'he had no voice to speak of' is beyond me. Both the current London Christine's are also amazing; the passion with which they sing is brilliant. We saw Ashleigh Fleming as Christine, who isn't one of the usual alternate 'Christine's.' Oscar and Lucinda . I would most definitely book these seats again.
