Palace Theatre Seating Tips

Share

Set in the middle of Cambridge Circus, acting as a welcome to Theatreland, the Palace Theatre is one of the West End’s most prolific buildings. Originally built to be a Grand Opera House, the theatre is now known for hosting the world’s longest running musical Les Miserables before it transferred to the Queen’s after 7,602 performances.

The auditorium features beautiful Victorian architecture including a majestic ceiling and proscenium artwork that frame the stage. Divided into four levels, the theatre can prove difficult for sightlines as it features one of the steepest balconies in the whole of the West End. The theatre is tall and narrow and features restricted view seats due to pillars and safety rails that should be avoided for maximum enjoyment.

Big Budget Tip

Front of the Dress Circle is definitely the best place to sit, owing to its compact size and distance to the stage. Not only will you be on a level with the performers, you will also be best placed to admire the beautiful detail in the auditorium itself.

Best Value Tip

There are a lot of restricted view seats in the Upper Circle that are heavily discounted. Some of these provide an almost faultless view of the stage, so it can be worth risking it for those seats closer to the middle and furthest from the railings.

Singin' In The Rain
(Showing from 4 Feb 2012 until 8 Jun 2013)

The classic MGM musical comes splashing into the West End in this insider's look at the film industry on the eve of talking pictures. The first four rows are designated as "splash zone" seats, so be prepared as you may get wet! Whilst the front of the Dress Circle does provide good views, it is better to sit a couple of rows back to see over the balcony. The seats in the front row are quite low down, meaning some leaning is necessary to see the front of the stage and the steps. There are lighting bars rigged around the front of the balcony which can cause obstructions for children and younger people. The curve is quite dramatic, so those towards the ends of each rows may miss some of the action. 


Derren Brown: Infamous
