I would call them up so they can tell you what the viewing problem is. I adored Carlotta. But inside those venues, not all seats are created equal. Wardrobe, lighting, the set and the orchestra were all very appealing but the cast and direction completely floundered. Her Majestys theatre is beautifully acoustic, and most of the stalls and dress circle benefit from almost no amplified sound, which is a rarity. The balcony seats tend to be pretty high up, but they might be the best choice for the budget-conscious. ____________________________, I was disappointed when I found out the main actor would not be playing the phantom. How wrong we were! It needs a reason to be kept going; new energy and fervour. __________________________________, October 3rd 2016. The cast was excellent, and the Phantom's performance was quite impressive and emotional. His portrayal is very simple in such a complex work, and it seemed as if he was just bashing through the songs - like sight-reading. You can even enjoy a show from the front of thegrand circle, but be prepared to abseil down to them from a great height. Stalls, C12: Not a bad seat, actually. So, THANK YOU! None of them deserved to have such wonderful roles in such a wonderful musical. I was surprised at how much I had actually forgotten of the production, for a start this is really more opera than musical very little dialogue and consequently not really my scene at all. Brilliant view, although little leg room - but that is because the theatre is old, so has to be expected. Do not believe the hype, this show may be in its 21st year, but that is surely musical retirement age. I had two problems with the production though. But there are certain seats in the Princess that make you feel like royalty. Sudbury, Suffolk. John Owen Jones stole the show for us, his voice is unbelievable. For the (access rate) of 29.75 I thought it was great value. I had expectations aplenty of the show, giving its 18-year run in the West End. I think the connection between Ramin and Robyn is very electric and sexy. The show starts with an elderly Raoul (in a wheelchair) buying a music box at an auction at the old opera house that had being previously haunted by the phantom. Unfortunately - 50 is rather a stiff price to pay to see such a good performer. So if anything is happening higher up the stage you cannot see it. When the Phantom was on top looking down he seemed to be looking directly at us. We simply want to catch JOJ as Phantom before the imminent arrival of our baby, as we will be unable to do much theatre afterwards.) Enter the email address you signed up with and we'll email you a reset link. the special effects were among the best I have ever seen in a theatre, the music and the acting - I loved every minute of it. Went to see 'The Phantom of the Opera' for a second time on 29th October 2008 in the evening. Very angry and very disappointed. You have been warned!!! Dress Circle A16and 17: In fact we were so impressed we went to the Stage Door (and missed our train, but it was worth it). BEWARE These seats have restricted viewing (although not sold as such ) the floor of the balcony cuts off the top of the stage. That said though, the songs that we all know (and love?) Great views and right in the middle of the seating so good overall view and sound. I do realise that the part of Raoul is not well, good, it seems the writers got board when they got to his part!! We'll earn a small commission. Quite simply it was the cast. I think this understudy made no difference in my enjoyment of the production. UK Que sera sera! I couldn't have been more wrong, from the very beginning I was hooked and when the chandelier swings into the audience with the spine chilling music the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. 57 Haymarket, London SW1Y 4QL, England Open today: 11:00 - 23:30 Save West End and South Bank Theatre Walking Tour in London 16 Book in advance from 23.00 per adult Check availability View full product details Leanne_Dee Coventry, United Kingdom 13 13 Restricted view Review of Her Majesty's Theatre London Reviewed 14 July 2017 via mobile If tickets are marked as an obstructed or limited view, the venue has determined that those seats do not have a full view of the stage, field, court, ice, etc. I was, however, very disappointed in the performance of the gent playing Raoul. They played Christine and The Phantom to perfection. That's it really, one last thing - Scott Davies received a standing ovation when he came on to take his bow - this was the only standing ovation I've ever witnessed for this show, I think it was mainly for his own performance as opposed to the show as a whole. This is a really great and unique show which will probably never be matched. This show is simply amazing; the cast do a great job carrying the heavy story and musical score. This highly-touted and virtually iconic show is, in realitya bit clunky, dated and simply not all that great. The music is very enjoyable and much more familiar than I expected. Being on the front row, we were able to look down in the pit and thank the musicians in person at the end - WOW were they good and deserve appreciation! Couldn't see half of stage from there. His Phantom is both angry and vulnerable, and I have always agreed with the Monkey in thinking that Christine chooses the wrong man, and this time it feels like that even more so than with past Phantoms. 1st floor is mostly seating and is the upper level. It is too messy at times, and the noise created by the set and crew moving it into position is hideous!! CHAPTER V. Conclusion of the Greek Drama. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. I hope to see Brian reprising the role in the future as Phantom himself, and not as his understudy. Sound mix was often dreadful however. I was far more impressed when it came to life and was lifted up at the end of the Auction Scene. Overall a superb show-see it at least once and DO NOT believe the review the monkey has given it. But then I found your website, and spent over an hour reading anything and everything Phantom-related, and so it were that yesterday we stood for all of 45 minutes outside Her Majesty's Theatre, and got ourselves two tickets for the matinee, in the 4th row (stalls!) Hull, UK I have played the soundtrack every day since coming back, ha ha. It is never a consistent struggle to see the actors, since they are always moving around. I'm going to see the musical for the first time. It is a central position so good from that point of view and I would say it is probably one of the best places to get a good view of the chandelier going up and going down! Add a reply. Killian impressed me straight away. It's certainly not a musical that I'd rush out and buy the OCR straight after but more perhaps pluck a handful of the best ones from i-tunes (or alternatively just nab my mother's 'Andrew Lloyd Webber Collections'!). The monkey advises checking performance times on your tickets and that performances are happening as scheduled, before travelling. We checked on this site for seat info and had seats K23 and 24 in the stalls and found them very good, saw everything, my cousin is slightly taller than me so she could see the chandelier right to the top. This show is and always will remain the best musical in the world. Youll have either an incomplete view because of the position of the seats, or something may be in your line of sight like a pole, speakers, or the sound board. Originally built as a cinema, or picture palace, the Regent is a love it or loathe it venue that for ages onlyhad a small number of good seats. I first saw John playing the part of one of the students in Les Mis many years ago - he stood out even then! The upper circle and balcony areas are tired and need refreshed. Also for this show we got Harriet Jones as Christine and she had such contrasting frightened and sexy sides! Willenhall. The rest of the cast were generally good, although Oliver Thornton as Raoul unfortunately, was pretty awful. Port Talbot, South Wales A word about the staff - I would have thought that faced with the monotony of dealing with the same tourist crowd with the same familiar music they would lose a bit on the service front, not a bit of it. Carlotta and Piangi I cannot comment on - I find the characters terribly irritating. A great performance at a really amazing price. Do your research on a site that shows the view from each seat! Ramin is worth the ticket price alone. Five minutes later at 14.22hrs I was given an even better seat in stalls, K11. The cream of the crop, however, is anywhere fairly central up to row J in the stalls though the first two rows of the dress circle aren't bad either. By continuing to use our site, you agree to us using cookies in accordance with our. Beats the DVD any day!! My one criticism (perhaps controversially) is that on several occasions, especially apparent in Notes/Twisted In Every Way in Act Two, there are too many people singing different lines over each other to hear what anyone is singing individually. I think Mr Davies must be one of the most experienced Phantoms by now, and his performance really shows that. The only reason I went was to see Alex Rathgeber, because I had read a review about him titled 'London's Best Aussie'. I went to see this on Monday 5th January 2009, my first visit. Hands down, the best seats in this theatre are the front rows of the dress circle. I could see all the stage perfectly clearly without leaning forward at all (and I'm only average height - 5ft8"). 'Christine' played by Leila Benn Harris was amazing and loved her to bits. Typically, stalls seats can be regarded as some of the best seats in the auditorium, due to their close proximity to the stage. Leila did not come out in time for us to see her, but Alex and Ramin did. West Midlands. As this was a birthday treat for my mother I wasn't too concerned about the price and thought the 47.00 tickets a reasonable price to pay for such a great day out and such good seats at a top London show. Although you are blocked 15% of the stage, the play is so powerful that you can work around it. Different shows have different set up on stage so if they say restricted viewing I would would take them at their word. What are the best seats at Her Majestys theatre? They just dragged the whole thing out. I took my mother to see this show as a birthday treat on the 25th June 2005 and it certainly didn't disappoint. On the aisle but only 4 rows back. So if anything is happening higher up the stage you cannot see it. We knew the night before via Twitter that John Owen-Jones would not be the Phantom due to illness but knew that we would be in safe hands with Scott Davies as the understudy. Best seats are stalls row J 26 and 27. I will be going back soon to see this wonderful show! For those who expect a traditional musical, do not go here. Legroom was, of course, excellent in F1 and I thought very good in F2 bearing in mind my average height of 5'8''. I had totally forgotten the background story (of course I knew the Phantom/Christine bit) and so it was like watching it all for the first time. She had fallen asleep after the first act. The legroom wasnt too bad ( I am 5 feet 5) and the seats were a standard size. RECOMMENDED: How to score cheap theatre tickets in Melbourne. The only gripe is I had to move from side to side to see the centre of the stage, due to a tall gentleman sitting directly in front of me, but this must have applied to those sitting behind me due to my height. I wish they would hurry up J Middleton of Sheffield Particularly the graveside scene at the start of Act 2, not to mention the spectacle of the chandelier and the phantom observing the scene on the rooftop. Come on Phantom, people need a reason not to pull the plug. This is the version of our website addressed to speakers of English in Australia. I have always loved the music and have watched the recent DVD release a few times but NOTHING compares to the live stage version. Christian Toime The poor Phantom should get Christine! Some scenes-mainly the hanging of sceneshifter Joseph Buquet - are not suitable for young children. However, what I did NOT enjoy was the behaviour of some of the theatregoers on the row in front (we were Upper Circle E12 and E13). Although sold as restricted view because of a pillar, it is to the left and isn't really an issue . It was fine, so, unless particularly tall, I wouldn't be put off by Adam's comments about the spaciousness of the seating. Sat in seats K9 and 10 (Stalls), which provided a very good view, as did all seats in that row, but I think the seats should be down priced from Row N back, as they really are not worth full price. Fiona in Florence. We were right underneath the chandelier. The costumes and sets were magnificent. Special mention to Sofia Escobar who plays Christine Daae. Didn't know the storyline beforehand and found the second half a little confusing. There is an aisle that runs mid-way through the auditorium, and the best seats are on either side of this aisle as these are the centre seats. An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works But if your looking for a show to see in London go and see this, or end up kicking yourself as you leave some other poor show and see the audience leaving "Phantom" totally amazed. It was as fabulous as ever!!! Front row, very close to the orchestra pit so not much legroom at all. Usually highly talented and skilled as they need to learn many roles in the show very precisely and may take over at a moment's notice. Even though I have not seen Mr. Crawford's original display, I knew Earl's haunting voice was key to play the Phantom. Although, perhaps not the strongest Phantom vocally, Scott provided his audience with a performance that was powerful and innovative. Katie B I am still undecided whether Stalls or Royal Circle is the best position for this show though. I shall focus on my experience with buying the tickets, rather than the show itself (which was obviously outstandingly amazing!!!) ____________________. We really felt the circle was best for a good view of the various elements of this show. I've seen him with Celia Graham and they were superb together. Albeit unrequited. They are more central and much closer to the action. I was only disappointed by "Masquerade". I have to say that Raoul was no match for the Phantom but he did his best and, along with the rest of the cast, produced a great show. To add more atmosphere, they should make all of the sound louder. His Majesty's Theatre. Unfortunately, my camera had no battery and was charging at home so I'm definitely going back to get photos, which they very kindly pose for. I had possibly the worst seats in the house, due to late booking. The Musical which brought the dress circle forward, making it a pretty good location if you want to take in the production's set. We sat in the Royal Circle and found the seating cramped and the view inferior to a good Stalls seat. Even if there was someone sitting in E1, I think the rake would have been sufficient to see over their head. Phantom of the Opera, 22Oct2017, I knew I would have a restriced view but it wasn't too bad. The show itself still does hold up well as a spectacle - the chandelier, the mirror, the boat, masquerade sequence all still make you go wow and make the many tourists gasp!

It started as soon as I entered the theatre; it was a lovely, grand and majestic theatre - it made you feel like you were in the Paris Opera House. __________________________________________. It's nice to hear the different levels he's brought to the role. There are still rumours of dead spots around Hamer Hall, where the music is dulled by acoustic blackspots, but we think this is largely apocryphal. Almost central, four rows from the front, right under the chandelier and with plenty of legroom for my 6ft 2ins frame. I actually started off really liking his performance. His performance was a disgrace and how he got such a coveted part I will never know. You are close to the stage without being too close, you can see the actors faces clearly; and the famous chandelier is just to the right of you a little bit when it goes up and down so it's not very scary being under it. Sofia Escobar and John Owen-Jones were incredible as the two leads, both with a combination of astonishingly good voices and great acting. ____________________________, We were disappointed in this production (August 2007), and aghast that Carlotta had a much nicer voice than Christine! ___________________. Sloppy movement, limp voices, technical hitches - we had them all. Far better than the film version. ( We wish we had seen our fellow Welshman John Owen-Jones to compare). The above two comments drew this reply from previous reviewer Will Cooper: I'd just like to counter some of your most recent and scathing phantom reviews. Overall I loved it and found it very enjoyable, and I would recommend it. The major problem is the sound. Is the view actually restricted from the Restricted View sitting area or is it ok? All in all an enjoyable afternoons entertainment but not a show we will be rushing back to soon. "Phantom" is a model of stagecraft which has sadly been lost to technology. For a slightly loftier night, those first rows of the circle are grand too. The score was unimaginative and bland, the sets looked dated and the 'special effects' were clunky and distracting. They should not sell any tickets for this seats. Would not get seats in upper circle again though as I suffer vertigo and it was a bit steep for me. Even though I think you can tell that the show is now 20+ years old from a number of the effects, it still worked; but after hearing so many chandelier stories I must admit to feeling a little disappointed when the thing "crashed" down - Hmmmmm. I didn't find the seat very comfortable. I absolutely loved it. The thundering Overture sets the show off into a great whirlwind of excitement, and the show lives up to all of the hype associated with it. ?.My Lawyers are watching! However, the theatre got a refurb forMoulin Rouge! Loved it. 16th November 2007 We were on the balcony in row B. I took front row. ___________________, My first West End show. Rachel Barrell as Christine and Oliver Thornton as The Phantom had amazing voices. ___________________. 020 3925 2998. You all make Phantom sound dreadful, so any one just put off by what these other people have written - ignore them ! I have to admit to not being a huge fan of the show, as, although there are many aspects of the production that I like, the show as a whole does not gel for me. They are mainly surly or uninterested and as for policing the use of phones or disruptive patrons - well, they may as well not be there (can you tell I am not tolerant of people with no theatre etiquette!!). In fact, I think it's far preferable to have a ledge/bar below the view of the stage, than be behind a row of people who could be more of an obstruction. Map updates are paused. I think all the Manchester Front of House staff should be sent to London to be trained! The only seats to avoid are the ones on the very ends of the rows in the balcony. Revel in the haunting beauty of Paris Opera House in Andrew Lloyd Webber's world-famous musical at Her Majesty's Theatre. A wonderfully memorable evening and well worth the 20 year wait to see the show - may it continue another 20 years! Traditionally, these were concentrated in the stalls, as close to the stage as possible. I also thought Madame Giry wasn't nearly severe enough and Carlotta just didn't convince me at all. _____________________, I went to see The Phantom of The Opera on the 1st December 2009 with a group of friends. I rarely feel compelled to correct a review, but such vitriolic bile is unjustified. I have since listened to the music from the original cast (Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman), but in my opinion, Earl Carpenter (Phantom) and Rachel Barrell (Christine) are far more talented. Our interval drinks order was takenand a selection of gifts from the kiosk was bought round to our seatsof which nanny bought the lot!! From here the music and sound was also excellent. The scene with the gondola, the dry ice and the candles was breathtaking and seamlessly done. I always avoid the restricted areas just in case. (11th January 2011 matinee, Stalls G12 and 13). She lifted the slightly flat acting of the Phantom wonderfully and kept Raoul's head above water. Kleenex was my friend that day. She has the kind of voice that you would never get tired of listening to. Talk about rejecting people because they dont appear normal! I can't wait to see Love Never Dies! I was worried about the legroom but needn't have been. M I'd been wanting to see the show for ages, but didn't fancy paying a massive amount for the tickets. The best seats are in the centre of row D and G as they offer a good central view. I was a little worried when I read about the huge cast overhaul that had been made a couple of days prior but I needn't have worried - I found the show magical, I sat mesmerised throughout the whole performance and had constant shivers running up and down my spine that started the moment they raised the chandelier at the auction house to the very end, it was wonderful! 13 February - 2 March 2023. Not a FOH person to be seen when this was going on. This was the first show I ever saw in the West End and that is always an exciting time for anyone. Monkey, Grrrrr. P.S. But I had no need to worry at all! Very central and great view. Offer is only valid for weekdays after 4pm and all day weekends. I was sat in seat 21 of row A of the grand (upper) circle, and have to disagree with Theatre Monkey's comments about there being a bar intruding on the view here. Two friends and I went to the matinee performance of 'Phantom' on the 18th January 2011. I had to head-bob most of the night. When I went to pick up the tickets, there was a rehearsal going on which you could hear from the foyer. That first row or two in the centre of the dress circle are hard to beat, although the middle of the stalls is pretty fine too. Sat in STALLS Row N seats 17 and 18. 'Phantom's tragically dark tale is a mix of romance, gothic horror and mystery and Lloyd Webber chooses to focus on the romantic side of the story. It only emphasis's the passion! The spectacular staging always dazzles, and the score throbs emotion throughout. The seats looked quite new and were very comfy. Paid 25 for top price tickets from See Tickets so a good deal. Having seen the show a few times before we had our own personal taste on how we like our Phantoms to be portrayed and were not sure how Scott would fare - we neednt have worried. She should have got the Phantom!!! I truly wanted him to kick the Phantom's butt and get the girl, ha ha. Saying that I thought the set and costumes were well produced. I went to see the show on Sat 8th January 2011 and was overwhelmed by Brian McCanns Phantom performance. > . Why? Phantom Phans I would love to hear from you! and Christine wasn't a shade of the beautiful, haunted talent she once was. Whichseats.com can't be held responsible for complaints arising from the use of this website. Initiative. Oliver Thornton (Raoul) isn't the best in the cast but then again isn't the worst, his voice is pretty good and his acting is acceptable, but Earl outshines them all. Loved every minute of it. read more, His Majesty's is a lovely old Theatre. However, you might be better off with front balcony seats than with rear mezzanine, especially at older theaters such as the Lyceum, the Belasco, and the Shubert. I'm glad these relics haven't been updated, they certainly gave me a good laugh! ______________________________.
