Best Seats for Book of Mormon in London
Say “Hello” to The Book of Mormon musical! This rude, crude and unapologetically hilarious show follows a mismatched pair of Mormon missionaries as they attempt to preach their gospel to a group of cynical Ugandan villagers. With a book, music and lyrics by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker and Avenue Q’s Robert Lopez, The Book of Mormon is a boundary-pushing, equal opportunity offender that’s not for the faint of heart. The show has been running in the West End since 2013 and is one of the most successful musicals of all time, winning nine Tony Awards, four Oliviers, and a Grammy. This bucket-list West End musical is strictly for adults, so do bear in mind the 18+ age rating before booking!

About the Venue
The Prince of Wales Theatre has been home to The Book of Mormon for over a decade, making the show the longest-running musical in the theatre’s centuries-long history.
The venue is relatively small for a West End theatre, comprising just two levels – the Stalls and the Circle; the theatre’s intimate size means good seats can be found throughout the auditorium. It’s worth bearing in mind that the far ends of the whole Circle and the Stalls (from Row J backwards) are next to walls – so there are no end-of-row aisles in these areas. The Circle overhangs the Stalls from around Row M, cutting off a small section at the top of the stage; luckily, Book of Mormon doesn’t feature too many scenes that are affected by this. There are four Loges (similar to a Box, with movable seats) to the sides of the Circle level, offering private seating with a slightly restricted view, due to their angle to the stage.
Where to Sit… If It’s Your First Time
If you’re a Book of Mormon virgin, our superfans are here to baptise you with their top tips! Our superfans love the Front Stalls, and particularly rated the front few rows (priced at £115 for the centre), as they enjoyed the immersion this offered.
The theatre rows can feel quite wide at the Prince of Wales, particularly toward the back of the theatre, but our superfans felt that sitting toward the end of these rows in the Front Stalls (priced around £60) offered a good perspective on the staging while still feeling close to the action – though do bear in mind if you are sitting at the very far end of the row this can offer restrictions.
“End of row A in the Stalls because it is a low stage, and you feel very immersed in the show. Sitting on the end makes it easier to see everything at once.” – Superfan Emilydawe
Because of the theatre’s size, you can’t really go wrong when booking for Book of Mormon. As one of our superfans says:
“Anywhere is great. If you want cheap, then back row of the Circle, if you want to be fully immersed, front row of the Stalls.”
– Superfan Andrewh306
It’s also worth bearing in mind that if it’s your first visit, you may want to prioritise a seat that offers a good view of the show’s immaculate choreography…
Where to Sit… To See the Chaos and Choreography
The Book of Mormon musical might be well known for its edgy humour, but the show also features genuinely impressive staging. No spoilers, but highlights include tap dancing Mormons during “Turn It Off” and some chaotic cameos from very unexpected characters in both “Spooky Mormon Hell Dream” and “Making Things Up Again”. We’d recommend prioritising seats where you can drink in all the dancing, particularly if it’s your first visit.
The front and centre of the Circle offer a particularly good overview of the choreography. The front few rows of the Circle (usually priced at £115-150 for the centre), offer seats that still feel relatively close, but look down on the stage to give an excellent view of all the tap choreography. You’ll still get a good view from the seats on the sides too, which cost around £96-£66, but will be viewing the choreo from a slight angle.
Our superfans also rated Front Stalls, around about the centre of Row D (usually priced at £115), stating:
“This is where you get the best views, particularly when there is so much happening on stage as you are far enough back to see the whole spectacular of the staging, scenery and choreography, (particularly in the numbers then there is a lot going on on stage) whilst being close enough to see the facial expressions and costumes in detail” – Superfan Chairmainf
Where to Sit… If You’re Looking for a Bargain
The Prince of Wales is a pretty petite theatre, so great views are available even in areas that in a larger venue could feel far away. A lot of our superfans rated the rear Circle seats as the best value for money.
This area also has the lowest-priced seats in the whole venue (priced around £24 to £42), so we definitely recommend the rear Circle if you’re on a mission to find an excellent deal.
“In all the places I’ve sat I’ve always had a great view. It’s a small theatre, so even at the back of the Circle you can still see enough detail that you might not in corresponding theatres.”
– Superfan Andrewh306
Just be aware that some users found the stairs in this area to be a bit steep – worth bearing in mind if you have a fear of heights, but overall most users spoke positively about these seats.
“The back row of the Circle is incredible for the price in this theatre. Because of the layout, it’s still a brilliant view and experience compared to other shows.” – Superfan Emilydawe
There are also some low-priced tickets available in the front row of the Circle, due to a restriction from the handrail on the aisles (priced at £24), which are a real bargain when compared to the prices just a few seats further along the same row – see our section ‘Where to Sit…For Hidden Gem Seats’ for more info!
Our superfans also rated the very front row of the Stalls (priced around £60-£115) as offering a good view. As the stage is quite low, you don’t need to look up too much compared to other theatres – although some of the footwork during elaborate choreography might still be missed in these seats.
Where to Sit… For the Best Seats Money Can Buy
The top price tickets for this venue are in the central Stalls and central Circle. Our superfans rate the Stalls, a few rows back from the front as where they’d sit if money were no object.
Top price seats are generally priced around £179 to £155, and offer a very clear view of staging and choreography.
“If cost were no issue, then I would suggest middle of row L or M in the Stalls.” – Superfan Charmainf
The seating area with the highest rating from other users was the Front Circle, Row A. These are also top price seats, usually costing around £179, but our users feel they are worth it, as these received numerous five-star ratings for view, comfort and leg room. Users who sat in Rows A20-25 gave these seat numbers particularly glowing reviews.
Seats to Avoid, According to Our Superfans
We also grilled our superfans to ask whether there were any particular seats they’d avoid at the Prince of Wales Theatre. Just remember, seating is subjective – a seat that is one person’s “Spooky Mormon Hell Dream” could be another’s idea of heaven.
One of our superfans also said they’d avoid the seats in the Loges (priced around £42 or £24) if it’s your first visit to the show. These might give you a bit more privacy, as they are separate from the other banks of seats, but their location on the side of the theatre does mean they offer a slightly restricted view, with the second row of Loges offering more restrictions.
Generally, our superfans felt there were good views throughout the venue, but another user did state:
“Personally, I don’t like seats in the Stalls where the overhang from the [Circle] impacts on the view of the stage and feels claustrophobic. I want to be able to see the whole stage”
– Superfan Charmainf
The overhang doesn’t cut off too much for this particular show, but it’s worth bearing this in mind if you’re opting for these slightly cheaper seats (priced around £66-£42) towards the back of the theatre.
Where to Sit… For Hidden Gem Seats
You won’t have to go digging in your garden like Joseph Smith for these golden seats! Here are our superfans’ recommendations for their favourite underrated seats.
They rated the ends on the front row of the Stalls (priced around £60), due to the low stage, but the real hidden gems for this theatre are four very particular seats in the front two rows of the Circle.
Front Circle Row A15 and A32, and Row B14 and B32 are classed as restricted due to a safety rail at the bottom of the stairs, but users found this restriction very minimal.
“There are seats on the front row of the Circle which are cheaper than the rest, as the view is supposedly restricted by the safety bar. I have sat there twice, and although there is a slight restriction, it would only interfere with about 2% of the show, so it’s quite the gem”. – Superfan Andrewh306
These tickets are a real bargain if you don’t mind the slight restriction – they’re usually priced around £24 each, while seats further along the same row can cost up to £179.
Other superfans agreed with this assessment, stating:
“The restricted seats on the front row of the Circle are surprisingly good. The rail in the eye line is not too bad if you sit accordingly.” – Superfan Charmainf
Other top tips included going for Row J (generally priced around £96) in the Stalls if you’re particularly tall – these seats have extra leg room as there’s an aisle directly in front of the row.
Superusers also enjoyed the Loges (usually priced around £66 to £115), but would only recommend these for return visitors due to restrictions.
“Loge 1 & 3 have good views too and have chairs that can be moved independently. There is more room to put bags and coats in the loge. All these seats do cut off some of the edge of the stage, so I’d only recommend them if someone has already seen the show.”
– Superfan Charmainf
