The Gielgud Theatre's intimate 986-seat auditorium offers excellent views throughout, but strategic seat selection can dramatically enhance your "Oliver" experience. Below is our expert breakdown of sections, views, and pricing to help you find your perfect seats.
Best Value Tickets (Under $150)

- Stalls Row W ($116): Rear stalls with surprisingly clear views (no overhang issues). Excellent value for experiencing the full stage picture.
- Grand Circle Row E ($141): Mid-Grand Circle offers better angles than rear rows. Minimal neck strain and good visibility of choreography.
Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)
- Stalls Row U ($141): Central rear stalls with perfect depth to take in the full stage. The Gielgud's shallow rake ensures no visibility issues.
- Dress Circle Row H ($165): First Dress Circle row avoids overhang concerns. Provides an ideal "director's view" of the production.
Higher Tier Options (Premium Views)
- Stalls Row N ($224): Mid-stalls gold standard - close enough to see facial expressions while maintaining full-stage perspective.
- Dress Circle Row B ($273): Front Dress Circle delivers both proximity and elevated vantage. Best for appreciating set design details.
