Built in a traditional Victorian style, the theatre has one of the most impressive auditoriums. Views can be varied due to the curve of the seating, which means some seats offer side-angled views. Restricted view seats are clearly labelled.
Give your next visit to the Theatre Royal Haymarket the regal treatment by booking a seat in one of the two Stalls boxes. Box A was formerly called the Royal Box and has received several generations of noble guests dating back to a young Queen Victoria. Located adjacent to the stage on each side of the auditorium, these boxes contain two seats each and must both be booked as a pair. This means you will have a totally private experience with the whole box reserved for your party only, making it the perfect date night option.
The seats within the box are freestanding, allowing you to move them to maximise your view, legroom and overall comfort. Due to their proximity to the stage and location at the side of the auditorium, the view will be slightly restricted over similarly priced seats in the central stalls, however the added privacy makes them a great choice for a special occasion with a best friend or loved one.
