TicketHold | His Majesty's Theatre – Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Discover the Best Seats at London’s Iconic His Majesty's Theatre

His Majesty's Theatre, a historic West End gem, hosts world-class productions like The Phantom of the Opera. Its ornate architecture and intimate layout ensure an unforgettable experience, but choosing the right seat is key. Here’s your definitive guide to navigating the theatre’s seating chart.

Seating Chart Overview

• Stalls (Orchestra): Closest to the stage with unbeatable immersion, though front rows may require slight neck tilting for full-stage views.
• Dress Circle (Mezzanine): Elevated for a panoramic view—ideal for appreciating set designs. Central seats offer the best sightlines.
• Grand Circle (Balcony): Budget-friendly with solid views, but rear rows feel distant. Avoid extreme sides for skewed angles.
• Upper Circle: Least expensive but steeply raked; opt for front rows to minimize obstructions from railings.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Musicals: Stalls Rows F–L (balanced sound and sightlines).
• Plays: Dress Circle Centre (captures facial expressions and staging).
• Ballet/Opera: Grand Circle Front (wide-angle view of choreography).

Seat Views & Obstructions

Columns in the Dress Circle may block sightlines in side seats. Stalls under overhangs (e.g., Rear Stalls) can muffle sound. Check the theatre’s 3D viewer for precise visibility.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Boxes: Private, luxurious, but some have partial obstructions. Best for small groups.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair spaces in Stalls and Dress Circle with companion seats. Audio-described and captioned performances available.

Pro Tips

• Prioritize central seats over proximity for the best overall experience.
• Use price filters—sometimes mid-range seats (e.g., Dress Circle sides) offer surprising value.
• Arrive early to explore the theatre’s stunning interiors.
