The Experience
Acoustics, seating, and what to expect
Acoustics
The theatre underwent extensive 2016-2017 refurbishment including acoustic reinforcement with concrete infill in the stage house and Sennheiser Infrared sound amplification systems, suggesting an optimized acoustic environment for large-scale musicals.
Best Seats
Stalls rows D-G offer excellent immersion with good legroom, particularly seats E24 and F30. Royal Circle central seats rows C-H provide panoramic views without obstruction. Avoid Stalls rows B-C due to high stage angle and rows beyond P where stage top visibility diminishes.
