Best Seats for Hamilton in London

If there’s one West End hit that “isn’t just a moment, it’s a movement”… it’s the record-breaking Hamilton musical. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s show about Founding Father Alexander Hamilton broke box office records, won almost every award going, and still has audiences on their feet every night. 

Do you want to be in the room where it happens, but aren’t sure where to start? SeatPlan has over 5,000 real audience reviews and photos from seats across the Victoria Palace Theatre, including ratings for view, legroom and comfort. Combined with some handy tips from superfan imobsessedwithyoushakespeare – who’s seen the show more than 30 times – keep reading for our guide to choosing the best seats at Hamilton.

Best Seats Money Can Buy

Are you as uptown as the Schuyler Sisters and looking for some unforgettable seats? The very best areas to sit for Hamilton are Central Stalls, Rows F-J and Central Royal Circle, Rows C-D.

• Central Stalls, Rows F-J (approx. £191-£268). The sweet spot between proximity to the stage and being back enough to see the set all at once – this area is pricey, but comes highly rated by our users.

• Central Royal Circle, Rows C-D (approx. £191-£268). Superfan imobsessedwithyoushakespeare says, “for a first watch I’d recommend the Royal Circle.” From up here, you have a fantastic view of the entire stage and its dynamic, multi-level design, without feeling far away.

Also Consider: The options above are the most premium, but sitting just a few seats further along the row, or a row in front or behind, also offer brilliant views for up to 27% less. 

Best Cheap Seats

Great cheap seats for Hamilton are at the back and sides of the Grand Circle (approx. £24-£72). The view from up here is very clear, though more distant and quite steep. Don’t discount the cheapest seats at the far ends of the rows, either: our superfan says that her favourite seat to book is Grand Circle A2, because “it’s a well-priced ticket with a great view and the legroom’s not as limited as they say!”.

Top Tip: SeatPlan finds the best prices and ticket deals from top London theatre suppliers, including discounts not available at the box office. Select a date to see all prices and seat view photos for Hamilton. 

Best Seats for High-Energy Choreography

One of Hamilton’s most exciting elements is its incredible choreography, which unfolds on ground level and on a raised walkway. For the best views of the impressive dance sequences, choose seats in the centre of the Stalls, Royal Circle or Grand Circle.

• Central Stalls, Rows D-P (approx. £161-£192). Any central seats after Row D are far enough that the high stage isn’t an issue, so you can comfortably take in every move! The Stalls overhang starts at Row P, but a lot of our reviewers report that the top of the stage is only really cut off in the very back rows.

• Central Royal Circle, Rows C-G (from £120). AaronF320, who sat in Royal Circle C26, raved that “You get to see all of the action on stage including the upper levels and really appreciate the stunning choreography.” If you want to pay a bit less, seats at the end of these rows like Royal Circle H40 also have clear views of the whole set.

• Central Grand Circle, Rows A-F (from £84). A little further away, so details aren’t as clear, but a full, clean view of the multi-level set. Not suitable for people with vertigo!

Superfan Tip: Imobsessedwithyoushakespeare says that, “sitting more central is more important for Hamilton than many other shows, as the walkway on stage is used throughout, and side seats can miss sections of this quite easily.”

Seats to Avoid, According to Superfans

You might be worried about throwing away your shot with less-than-perfect seats, so here are some areas to be aware of. Spots highlighted by our superfan include the Boxes at the back of the Royal Circle. We’d also suggest thinking twice about the front of the Stalls and Restricted View side seats (including Slips) on all levels.

• Albert, Matcham and Victoria Boxes (from £72). Our superfan says that, “they’re not raised much higher than the back row, so taller people will really get in your way. I also found sitting there quite distracting, as ushers and people needing the loo mid-show are constantly walking around in front of you.” However, perks include adjustable chairs, a butler to deliver drinks, and a private toilet!

• Stalls Rows A-C (from £96). caitlinw4, sitting in Stalls A34, thought that, “The view wasn’t amazing due to a high stage.” However, many theatregoers love being so close to the action, to catch all the small details.

• Restricted View Side Seats (approx. £24-£51). With a lot of action happening on scaffolding-style set pieces at the sides, you’ll miss some action on the same side as you – however, some restricted view seats are actually hidden gems…

Good to Know: The Grand Circle has lots of good views, but is very steep. Keep this in mind if you don’t like heights.

Hidden Gems

Finally, some hidden gems – and our superfan has one particular recommendation: Grand Circle outer aisle seats (approx. £24-£51). Despite being sold as restricted view, superfan imobsessedwithyoushakespeare says that seats like Grand Circle A1-2 and A37-8 are, “my personal favourites as they’re actually pretty close. You really don’t miss that much, maybe just a few seconds of action on the walkway. They’re a great value for money!”
