Palace Theatre
Seating Plan

Views are extremely mixed throughout the Palace Theatre, which features one of the steepest balconies in the entire West End. A tall and narrow theatre, there are restricted views due to support pillars and safety rails. When choosing seats, keep in mind:

• The stage is quite high, so in Rows AA-BB you'll be looking up throughout the performance.
• The Balcony is very steep, making it unsuitable if you're scared of heights!
• Rows in the Dress Circle and Balconies curve round at the ends, creating restricted views.

To compare different sections and seats, check SeatPlan's audience-submitted seat view photos and reviews before you book.

Good value seats

Seats towards the rear of each section are heavily discounted, due to circle overhangs, support pillars and distance from the stage. These can prove good value for money, particularly for a large-scale musical. The Balcony is extremely cheap, due to severe restrictions. It is worth sitting in the front of the Balcony, as although it may feel distant, you may still get a good view. Alternatively, sit in the middle of the Grand Circle for a safety rail-free view of the stage.

Premium seats

Seating in the front of the Dress Circle or in the centre of the Stalls is the optimum place to have the most immersive experience without any restrictions. Rows G-K in the Stalls are best as the stage is quite high and a decent rake allows for action to be at eye level. Due to the mixed views throughout the Palace Theatre, it's wise to spend a little bit extra to guarantee there will be no restrictions to impair your enjoyment.
