The Fortune is one of the smallest West End theatres. Compact and simple in design, it is well-suited to plays or musicals that don’t rely on large set pieces. It has a traditional proscenium arch layout with three main sections facing the stage head-on: the Stalls, Dress Circle and Upper Circle. There are also Boxes on the two Circle levels and a row of standing spaces behind the Upper Circle.
All sections feel relatively close to the stage compared to many other West End houses, although some features can affect the view and comfort. Most notably, legroom in the Dress and Upper Circles is very limited and theatregoers over 5’5” may find it uncomfortable, especially in the front row. If you’re tall, aisle seats and freestanding chairs in the Boxes offer the most legroom in the auditorium - a side view can be a worthwhile tradeoff for comfort here. Safety bars at the front of the two Circles can also cut into the view for shorter people sitting in Rows A and B.
Down in the Stalls, the Dress Circle overhang begins at Row H and cuts off the very top of the stage, but even from the rear of this section the performances still feel close - just keep in mind that the rake is a bit shallow, meaning more chance of heads in the way. The stage is quite high, so you will be looking up from Rows A–C.

Excellent prices can be found throughout the Fortune Theatre, with cheaper seats available in the Upper Circle and rear of the Stalls. Restricted view seats are sometimes worth a risk, but crucial action could be missed. Row L is an excellent bet for those on a strict budget.
Premium seats are around the centre in Row D, from seats 11-14. These do not suffer from the rake and provide clear views of the whole stage and action.
