The Victoria Palace is built on the site of one of London's first music halls and is a vast, classical building. Opposite Victoria Station, the theatre has a large capacity and was plagued with a string of musical flops until the 2005 hit Billy Elliot. After that, the theatre closed for a multi-million pound refurbishment, opening in 2017 with the crowd puller Hamilton which continues to run to a packed out house.
Built in a traditional style across three levels, the auditorium can feel a little overwhelming due to the relatively small size of the stage. Each level is quite well-raked and curves around each balcony, giving different levels of visibility throughout. Prices vary accordingly and it is worth knowing how much you wish to spend against how close you wish to be.
Due to the rake of the stage, some restricted view seats in the Stalls offer great value for money. You may miss out on the actors feet, but you will not get so close for so little anywhere else in the West End!
Premium seats are towards the centre of the Stalls. In our opinion these are better than those in the Dress Circle. Mid Stalls seats offer a generally better view of the stage.
