We sat in Box B. This is further from the stage than Box A. To begin with FOH got confused and put us in Box C - directly opposite (same size and view). I can't see how one would get 4 seats in these 2 boxes - maybe it was the others that sat 4. Anyway, for 2 there is loads of room. The side of the set wall on the same side of the box is not really visible. Little happens there, but on a couple of occasions one character or another is on it. It is not much. To compensate, the box is at a great level for the stage - it is at a better height than the front stalls, but closer than the royal circle itself. You get nice close-ups of the actors (occasionally catching their eye). Also once the house is open and it is a bit crowded in the bars and other parts of front of house, the box is a nice private space. Further, Boxes A and B are great for escaping to the loo in the interval! I see Box A is slightly cheaper than Box B (and similar for C and D) for some dates in July - would you recommend B over A for the better view? Also, and I appreciate this might not be something you can answer, would the A and B side be preferable to the C and D side? From what you say, it does sound like B is a safe bet, but just wanted to know if you have any further thoughts. Many thanks..... Right side (A and B) would miss less, I think. I sat in Royal circle C and thought it was a great seat.

Yes, I sat in Royal Circle Box B and the view was fine. You miss the right hand side of the set and anything that happens on the right hand balcony (not much happens here, you miss maybe 60 second max) and would recommend for the price. The boxes on the right offer a better view as more happens on the left hand side of the stage than the right so you would miss more by choosing the boxes on the left. Thanks for this - can you tell me which box is which?! Theatremonkey's seating plan labels them boxes 1, 2, 4 and 5 - and the Ticketmaster one has A, B, D and E - I'm presuming the letters follow the numbers but, with a lack of finalised seating plan on any site, it's gotten a little confusing! Which are the boxes closest to the stage - Ticketmaster's plan appears to indicate that box B is closer than A, but I'm wondering if that's correct? Royal Box C is on the left, further from the stage of the two boxes. I would think it has a better view than the one closer to the stage. You miss everything that happens on the stairs on the left, which isn't a huge amount I am guessing. I would recommend the boxes on the right, since very little happens there.
