For the ‘sweet spot’ of good views without paying top price, I’d often lean towards the front of the Royal Circle. You get a fantastic panoramic view of the stage, which is brilliant for seeing all the incredible choreography and the animals entering through the aisles. It feels grand, but often comes at a slightly more palatable price than the very front of the Stalls.
Speaking of the Stalls, they are absolutely worth the extra if you want to be truly immersed. The animal procession at the beginning of the show, and at various points throughout, comes right through the aisles, and being up close for that is an unforgettable experience. If you can snag seats in the central Stalls, especially rows A-D, you’ll be right in the heart of the action. However, do be aware that some of the side Stalls seats can have slight restrictions due to the stage design, so always check SeatPlan.com if you’re unsure.
Now, for my taller friends asking about legroom at the Lyceum, I feel your pain! Older theatres, bless their hearts, weren’t always built with modern leg-stretching in mind. For extra legroom, I’ve found that the Box seats (if available and within budget) are often a good shout, as they usually have movable chairs. In the Stalls, Row R, particularly the outer seats, is often cited as having better legroom. It’s not a guarantee for every seat, but it’s a good starting point. The Lyceum is known for being a bit snug, so if legroom is a top priority, those are the areas to target. You might also find a bit more space on aisle seats, but that’s always a bit of a gamble!
