Expert Tips for Choosing the Best Seats at Alexandra Theatre

Experience Riverdance with perfect views at Birmingham's historic Alexandra Theatre. Our seating guide highlights the best value tickets, premium options, and hidden gems in this iconic venue—complete with price comparisons and view recommendations.

Seating Chart Highlights

Best Value Tickets (Price + View Balance)

• Grand Upper Circle Row F ($80): Elevated but unobstructed view of the full stage—ideal for appreciating Riverdance's formations. Best for budget-conscious fans who want the complete visual experience.
• Stalls Row T ($80): Rear stalls still offer excellent sightlines to the footwork. Slightly angled view enhances depth perception for dance performances.

Sweet Spot Recommendations (Good Availability & Premium Views)

• Dress Circle Row A ($113): Our top pick—elevated just enough to see intricate footwork while maintaining intimacy. Perfect center-balcony position.
• Stalls Row N ($113): Mid-stalls "goldilocks zone"—close enough to see facial expressions but far enough to take in the full choreography.

Higher Tier Options (When Budget Allows)

• Grand Upper Circle Row D ($113): Upgraded upper tier seats with less neck strain than rear rows. Good vertical sightlines for aerial dance elements.
• Stalls Row B ($134): Front-center immersion—feel the percussion vibrations but may require slight head movement to follow lateral dance movements.

Premium/Last-Minute Splurges

• Grand Tier Row C ($156): Exclusive side boxes with private ambiance. Slightly angled view actually benefits Riverdance's linear formations.

View Comparison Guide

• Stalls (Rows B-T): Best for feeling the energy—see sweat and expressions. Front rows may miss some footwork due to stage height.
• Dress Circle: Perfect middle-ground—see both footwork and formations. Row A has no obstructing railings.
• Grand Upper Circle: Panoramic views of lighting/choreography patterns. Rows D-F avoid extreme vertical angles.
• Grand Tier: Luxury experience with service but slightly off-center. Ideal for couples/small groups.

Pro Tips for Riverdance

• Choose Dress Circle for the classic Riverdance experience—you'll see both the footwork and the iconic line formations.
• Upper Circle seats often have better sightlines than rear Stalls for this type of performance.
• Consider side seats (Grand Tier) if available—Riverdance's linear choreography works well with angled views.
• Check for restricted view warnings—some upper circle seats may have slight overhang obstructions.
