The Stalls offer good legroom throughout, and the raking of the seats is very good, noticeably from Row D onwards.

In the Royal Circles, there is no visual obstruction from the Upper Circle.

The seats in the Upper Circle curve towards the stage. The final two rows of the Upper Circle are bench seats.
