The Criterion Theatre has a capacity of 581 seats, including 365 seats in the Stalls, 151 seats in the Dress Circle and 65 seats in the Upper Circle. Use our interactive seating plan to view 1388 seat reviews and 856 photos of views from seat.
Because of the number of pillars in the venue, some seats are severely discounted, which can occasionally provide decent value for money. Alternatively, sitting in the front row of the Upper Circle is an excellent choice. Sit in seats towards the ends of the rows for a superb view of the stage on a hugely discounted price.
Premium seats are located in the front row of the Dress Circle in seats 12-21, with central Stalls seating also being excellent. These seats provide the best overall views of the stage and feel incredibly close to the action.
I find the criterion a bit cramped- would always recommend and aisle seat here. Had a tall person infront which I meant I missed some of the stage. Great seat for a lower price if you get lucky and don’t have a tall person infront! More

Great value for money - good view. However, the seat is not really comfortable and there is place for more legroom. There is no obstruction from the rail in front, even if it appears in the picture. More
