Located in the heart of the city, Milton Keynes Theatre is a contemporary venue that first opened on October 4th 1999, following a 25 year campaign to be built. Managed by ATG, the expansive theatre and entertainment centre has a fully retracting ceiling, customer lifts, bars and facilities, with a seating capacity of over 1,400. As well as hosting top touring productions from across the UK, Milton Keynes Theatre is home to a successful Youth Theatre that regularly performs on the vast stage.
With large West End musicals such as Sister Act, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Dirty Dancing coming to the stage, the venue boasts a modern auditorium that comfortably seats an equally large audience. Built across three levels, seating is split between the Stalls, Circle and Upper Circle, with Slips located just behind the Upper Circle. The Stalls and Circle are the largest sections of the theatre, with over 500 seats in both sections. The Upper Circle is more intimate, with just under 300 seats and further seats in the Slips. Due to the modernity of the venue, seats are comfortable and padded, with exceptional views and roomy legroom guaranteed throughout.
Seats throughout Milton Keynes Theatre offer good views, but bargains can be found towards the ends of rows and towards the rear of each seating section. These seats are usually cheaper but still offer a good view. Sitting in the rear of the Circle offers excellent views for a discounted price.
Seats in the mid-front sections of the Stalls and Circle offer the best overall views in the theatre. Seats in the Stalls have better legroom, therefore rows in the middle of this section can be excellent value for money. Sitting in the front of the higher tiers is best for large-scale productions.

Thanks, our editors will take a look.
Whilst this seat is front row for this production, you do have to look up. My view was slightly obscured by a light on the stage almost in front of me (a couple of seats either side of me may not have had the same problem) I also could not see some performers... More

A squeezed in extra row of seats. Close to stage but seats not staggered or tiered so need to move head a lot. This seat was reduced price due to restricted view so I was happy with the view for the price paid. I would sit here again but not for something... More
