Form beginning to the final curtain this production was excellent. If you have an unrestricted view of something, you can see it fully and clearly, because there is nothing in the way. You won't see me at those kind of things. ___________________, I am a huge, huge Phantom fan and firmly believe that the show is the best in the West End but after seeing it last night (29th April 2005) I was hideously disappointed. So for a show which is all about the relationships between the characters it failed. He lacks charisma in order to allow us to build up empathy with the Phantom. Monday to Saturday at 7.30pm Enjoy! The heavy romance keeps seats filled and the thudding mock grandeur of the score seems to reassure audiences of the quality. Graham's singing is beautiful throughout the show and she never misses a note, while reviews of KKA have been far less favourable. ___________________________, To all concerned with the production and performance of this show. 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!) We agree with your view that the show is 'lame', although I personally enjoyed it having embraced that fact. One thing we both noticed was that both seats were set quite high off the ground. November 2004 Current prices are advised at time of enquiry. A small queue formed behind us from about 9.30am, and at 10am, the doors opened and we were first to the box office window. !! 2023 whichseats.com, Her Majesty's Theatre (His Majesty's Theatre) Stalls Q16, https://www.whichseats.com/index.php/her-majestys-theatre/stalls/q/16, Seat Q16 in the Stalls at the Her Majesty's Theatre (His Majesty's Theatre), Her Majesty's Theatre (His Majesty's Theatre). It delivered as only Phantom can and I thoroughly enjoyed it. They've got it right in so much as the seats get less expensive as you move toward the wall, but the seats on the aisle and adjacent to that should also be reduced. Couldn't see half of stage from there. Amy However, I did find this seat a little bit tight myself, however not tight enough to decrease my enjoyment of the show. I was travelling from Croatia to London with my 15-year old daughter for a few days stay. _______________________, I have just seen "The Phantom of the Opera" at Her Majesty's theatre in London (November 2006), sitting in row B seats 13 and 14 and would recommend this show to anyone. Really great seats for a total bargain, there were a couple of moments we couldn't see brilliantly due to dry ice and the action being directly above us but nothing to quibble about and they were fleeting. While some seats cost 144.50 each, there will be 15,000 tickets at 15 for key workers, under 30s and those receiving jobseeker's allowance or other benefits, plus 15,000 free tickets for. ?.My Lawyers are watching! ____________________________, I would just like to add my review of a most wonderful and exhilarating performance of 'Phantom' (9th June 2007). I thought these seats were a real treat, especially with with no seats in front so no heads to obscure the view. What Im not fine with is the kind of audience it attracts. Its an iconic role that demands much of its performer, far too much it seems for Mr McCann. Gina Beck is a brilliant actress as is Simon Bailey and of course the much loved Ramin. During the second I saw Katie Hall. Fantastic all the way His Majesty's is a lovely old Theatre. My cousin is only 5'5" and she said there was not much leg room either. His Majesty's Theatre. The only action missed, which amounted to perhaps just 1 minute in total, was missed because I was sitting in the rear stalls, under the overhang of the circle. Restricted View Seats Often, the view isn't as bad as it sounds like on paper, and so buying these seats are very much worth it. I really enjoyed the show and everyone else was really good. Very restricted view View 1/5 Comfort 4/5 Legroom 4/5 I wanted to watch the play so bad, I took a chance on the seat. It was extraordinary. More legroom than I expected (still not much, but couldve been worse). I asked at box office at 14.15hrs. __________________. ____________________________, We were disappointed in this production (August 2007), and aghast that Carlotta had a much nicer voice than Christine! Make the most of the situation and dont sweat the small stuff! I have seen this show about 4-5 times over the years and I for one was moved to tears by his performance. You'll 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. Slight block from the right and left side of the stage depending on which side your seats are on. I sat down and realized that my feet were dangling in mid air as I couldn't reach the floor. J Middleton of Sheffield Still a top show in the West End, and has the audience numbers to prove it!! Gee Colin. Our interval drinks order was takenand a selection of gifts from the kiosk was bought round to our seatsof which nanny bought the lot!! 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. But inside those venues, not all seats are created equal. ___________________________, Went to see Phantom on Saturday 23rd September 2006. The legroom wasnt too bad ( I am 5 feet 5) and the seats were a standard size. A definite must if your in London and want to see a show! McCanns masterpiece provides the perfect Phantom Also, being the main theatre in Aberdeen all the shows are usually here so you don't have much choice. The spectacular staging always dazzles, and the score throbs emotion throughout. Beth If anyone in front of you leans forward, they completely obscure your view and you have quite an area of stage left cut off from view. Earl Carpenter in the lead was very good indeed though not in the same league as Crawford who we had seen on two occasions. Vol. Sat in Row C Centre of Dress Circle (perfect) at only 30 (an offer price not always available). Anyway, yes I loved it. 020 3925 2998. Zac21621 Dec 11, 2022. _____________________, I went to see 'The Phantom of the Opera' on the 10th April 2009 with a friend and we were sat in the stalls row F19 and 20. I always avoid the restricted areas just in case. I've come away from some musicals raving about the likes of Kerry Ellis and Laura Michelle Kelly, but I'm none the wiser about the three leads in Phantom, and to be honest have no interest in looking up their bio's. Looking to bag the best seats in the house? Katie B I am now hooked and want to go and see it again. It was quite painful to see it in front of me. Port Talbot I had to read it up on wikipaedia afterwards, oops. ________________________. If you are a 'larger size lady' like me you get wedged into the seat and literally cannot move until the interval (an American lady in front of me had exactly the same problem) and then feel so stiff afterwards. Maximum 2 per person, first come, first served. The upper balcony is above these seats which restricts view and there is a pillar that support the balcony but seats are okay. 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. The whole show is hidden behind a huge chandelier, and some very talented singers. I recently went to see 'The Phantom of the Opera' and thought it was excellent! The score was unimaginative and bland, the sets looked dated and the 'special effects' were clunky and distracting. Amazing view of both the entire stage and the orchestra put. I deliberately didn't buy the cheapest tickets available as I wanted a good quality viewing experience, but I fail to see how we had anything other than the worst seats in the house. As soon as Rachel began to sing her first solo of the evening I got that same feeling I did as the music began, although this time more intense. Rachel Barrell as Christine and Oliver Thornton as The Phantom had amazing voices. We were in E 10, 11 and 12 in the stalls and they were very good. I was seated in stalls row C seat 11, right in the centre.

Saying that I thought the set and costumes were well produced. You're usually laughing so long as you don't have the last side seats in rowM in the dress circle. I am already planning another visit to the show, I know it won't happen, but hope the phantom gets the girl next time! Obviously the restricted ones have their downfalls but at least you know that in advance. His voice cracked twice more during the second half, and I felt a little bit sorry for him because I can imagine that is one of the worst things that could happen to anyone on stage. Besides which, Phantom is a classic "OF IT'S TIME". Traditionally, these were concentrated in the stalls, as close to the stage as possible. I went with a friend to the Saturday (June 8th 2013) matinee performance of this amazing show. Worst of all - missed the final part of the lair when, for all Id have know, Phantom could have just sauntered off stage!! Dont recommend this seat at all. His Majesty's Theatre. To overcome the staging, surmises the monkey. This show knocks spots off the movie and I am currently reading the novel, struggling a little with it as it is quite different. Grand Circle, Seats D14, D15 and D16 were fantastic. Got the full effect of the chandelier falling too without being directly underneath it! ___________________, I went to see this a few weeks ago with a very open mind as I normally prefer something light and breezy and didn't think I was going to enjoy it-but I did!! The comparison with the latter being particularly apt, as that too is always a disappointment. I was hooked from that moment on, from the start to the finish. I went with my friend, who is also 13, and I loved it; sadly, she didn't. Opera is an extremely symbolised art form and Phantom manages to capture it's darkness and romanticism beautifully. I just ignored him, because if I had lent back half the cast would have been beheaded by the bar. Final comment, absolutely brilliant show, would thoroughly recommend it, want to go again, and again, and again. We sat, on the recommendation of this website and one or two others, in seats 20 and 21 of row C of the Royal Circle - the very best seats in the entire theatre. Ms Christina Brooks _____________________. I really dont waste much energy crying over spilt milk. The problem is that I've heard them performed much better elsewhere. _____________________. Superb show straight from London's West End. I hoped, given the intermission, he would have time to recover - but it was as if he had given up. Seats are slightly uncomfortable, but legroom was good. I went to see the show on Sat 8th January 2011 and was overwhelmed by Brian McCanns Phantom performance. I went with my mother and sister, neither of whom were particularly keen to see it, but we had time to kill so went for the matinee and were really glad we did! I am still undecided whether Stalls or Royal Circle is the best position for this show though. I think it is criminal for the seats in the back row of the Royal Circle to be advertised and sold in the same price plan as seats with a far better viewing angle either elsewhere in the RC or in the stalls. I do believe that he single handedly ruined the show. Try another? Every performance he put his heart and soul in, Christine is very good too, but Raoul?? Her Majesty's Theatre. We were 3 rows from the front, and was very close to the stage. I watched 'The Phantom of the Opera' for the first time. This is the version of our website addressed to speakers of English in United Kingdom. more. It was quite incredible, and at the same time pathetic, to see the Phantom assiduously wringing every possible drop of emotion out of, well, pretty much every line he was given. 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. The managers are the best I've seen in my humble opinion. It's closer to the MCU than many people would like to admit. *based on 16 bookings made through various agents' websites. This classical theatre should be running for many years to come. Will Barret as Raoul, well, sorry but he's awful. P.S. Live and let live! What is restricted view at Her Majesty's theatre? He made me cry at the end, he was just so incredible - especially when imitating the music box and when Christine gave the ring back. 2 answers. Which brings me to talk about the Phantom, Scott Davies. These seats are very good. Wardrobe, lighting, the set and the orchestra were all very appealing but the cast and direction completely floundered. 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'!). ________________________, I was on holiday with my family all the way from Brisbane Australia and me and my sister went to see "Phantom of the Opera". After consulting Theatremonkey (thanks again, your website is always a great help), we booked four seats in Upper Circle seats E15 to 18. Also from the grand circle you get a great view of the chandelier rising ad when the Phantom is up above the arch. Lo and behold, shortly after this, the people whose seats they had taken arrived which meant they had to move and the whole debacle started again with the whole row standing up. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePhantomOfTheOpera Port Talbot, South Wales Restricted view Some seats at the theatre will be labelled as 'restricted view'. My wife and I were very much looking forward to seeing John Owen-Jones as Phantom, after recently seeing his superb Valjean. Fantastic all the way MENANDER. Oliver Thornton as Raoul was also weak but I found his character unbelievable anyway and the love affair didn't engage my emotions at all. From centre to stage right wings, you slowly are able to see less and less You will be able to see the top halves of the actors when they dwell in the stage right area unless they are very far upstage right or very downstage right. Check out our guide on where to sit in Melbourne's theatres for the best views. I did enjoy the first half more than the second - I found a couple of the scenes in the second half overly long really. We sat in the Grand Circle D17 and D18 which is right in the middle. anonymous Nov 8, 2022. Christina. His performance moves you. Went to see The Jersey Boys on Wednesday 8th Feb at His Majesty's Aberdeen. I shall focus on my experience with buying the tickets, rather than the show itself (which was obviously outstandingly amazing!!!) First time we were in Premium Stalls 3 rows from the front. I "didn't get" that the old guy bidding for the music box was actually Raoul and I think if ever I watched this again it would have more impact as I did enjoy the unusual opening to the show. He completely lacked stage presence, had no voice to speak of and overdid the histrionics to the point that the Phantom became a caricature rather than a sympathetic figure. Many thanks to the Phantom cast, and Theatremonkey, for making a happy day extra special. the cast were magnificent. ____________________, McCann as Phantom = Phenomenal! You lost the very front left corner if you sat right back, that was all. I booked stalls seats H19 and H20 with a degree of trepidation given Adams seat review and that I'm 6' tall and 15 stone. CLICK SEATING PLAN TO ENLARGE IF REQUIRED. Don't miss it, or the Phantom' will appear inside your mind and haunt you till you get a ticket. Chris Rouse. Hands down, the best seats in this theatre are the front rows of the dress circle. There was a huge pillar in front of me right in the middle of my eye view, but 10 was well worth it. M We don't seem to have any photos from this section. Phantomwell this is one of my favourites. The view of the stage is mainly good, however the corner of the stage (Down-Stage Right in the correct theatre terms) cannot be seen from these seats, and anywhere in this part of the circle, so everyone leans forward and that just makes it harder for you to see. Birmingham UK Her voice was brilliant and she had a hard task hitting all those high notes but she did it every time. Tracy (35), Simon (35) and son Chris (18) For the first performance I sat in a premium-priced seat in the stalls and for the second right on the front row, (I decided on this because I had the misfortune lately to end up behind some pretty tall people when sitting further back, which can somewhat ruin the enjoyment even in top-priced seats!). Brilliant show was well worth going to Aberdeen to see this. The songs are fantastic, the set is amazing and the storyline is exciting, maddening, and devastating all at once. The costumes, especially the lavish "Red Death". This will give you the best chance at unimpeded views. The set and special effects are also amazing. In this instance they use height and there were some exciting moments! I know this is musical theatre and that perhaps it requires more suspension of disbelief than other theatre, but in this case the only thing that could have suspended my disbelief was if you sentenced it to life. Dave Lorenz. Sofia Escobar is a superb Christine, young and naive, and in fine voice. I have to say I was more impressed than I was expecting. We have both seen the show four or five times before, going right back to the Michael Crawford days and the performance last Thursday was up there with the best. He evoked a lot of sympathy in the role. She's Portuguese so I'm guessing that English is not her first language, but you'd never guess from her performance. This went on with door banging by ushers for about 30 minutes whilst we sat waiting in edgy anticipation that everyone would get seated successfully - Phew is was a relief when they were. Part of me was hoping for amazing music, awe-inspiring sets and an emotional rollercoaster of a story. The struggle that Christine faces in choosing between the Phantom and Raoul represents her two very different sides; the dark, edgy Phantom, verses the safe Raoul. Becky I must comment on the helpfulness of the theatre staff, as my grandmother uses a wheel chair, we were approached on entering the theatre by staff and taken round to a side door, shown the disabled toilets and taken to our seats before the crowds came in. E-Book Overview. You have to accept "Phantom" as a period piece and one of the last glittering relics of the golden age of London Theatre which the 1980's undoubtedly were. It made Fame look infamous and Cats look run over! In reality she is, but a little research told me she played Christine from September 2004 to October 2006 and received very good reviews, so hardly an understudy! I have the soundtrack of the original, but I must say, the present Phantom knocks spots of Michael Crawford. BEWARE These seats have restricted viewing (although not sold as such ) the floor of the balcony cuts off the top of the stage. The lack of dazzling performances also meant that I had more time to consider the technical merit of the show - the lighting looks dated, the flying looks basic and sluggish (two of the guys from the auction house having to shoulder charge the chandelier off stage in the overture? She even lip-synced the duet 'Phantom of the Opera' because suddenly her voice was completely different. On the stage right in front of me was a wooden block which may have contained lighting. He sang brilliantly in the title song, and in 'Music Of The Night' he acted and sung flawlessly. From both seats F1 and F2 you couldn't see the extreme side of the stage but I don't think you missed much action at all. But then they have been practicing twice a day for nearly a couple of decades so you'd expect it to have come together by now! He was physically imposing, powerful, menacing and sensitive. Saw this last night (30th March 2005) and unfortunately we didnt enjoy this show. His stage presence was good and he certainly had a haunting quality, but I felt that his singing was a bit too 'pop star'-esque for the role. It is Lloyd Webber's triumph and looks set to remain that way for a very long time. It was directly in front of the Phantom when he appeared in the suspended decorations and a great position as the chandelier swooped past. As per usual, Row B suffers from your view being spoilt if people in front lean over; I found myself envying the people sat in the central section in Row A as they paid the same price as me but are great seats.

We managed to get seats in the stalls, row M 17 to 19 and were very pleased as the visibility is great. No doubt there is a large amount of prima donna style 'drama', but come on! Get quick answers from Her Majesty's Theatre staff and past visitors. I could see every feature of the phantom's deformity, saw all the fine detail, and felt that the singers were singing just for me, they tended to stand just in front of these seats to sing the big pieces. McCanns Phantom has a depth and dimension beyond Johnsons shallow review. One thing I will point out, we treated ourselves to the 'RoyalBox Sharing Canaps' - what a waste of money! ________________________________________, September 2015. I'd been wanting to see the show for ages, but didn't fancy paying a massive amount for the tickets. The overhang starts at row "J" so we were able to see the chandelier but any further back and some bits of the show would have been missed. The show is still one of the best I've ever seen and it's amazing how long its been running. I was totally "involved" whilst watching this one, feeling exhilarated and frightened, then sentimental and even a little tearful at the end!! UK Very enjoyable, polished 5 star performance. Overall, myself and my fiance both really enjoyed the show. It's no longer a big universe with lots of little characters, it's a small universe with a few big characters. The big disappointment was Katie Knight Adams, I have never seen someone sing and act so badly on stage (and I have seen many shows). I complained to the box office at the interval, the receptionist was apologetic but confirmed that the seats were not 'restricted viewing' - she gave me a comments card to fill in.However on returning home I e-mailed my complaints to the Theatre and received a reply immediately. This show, along with 'Les Misrables', is one of the "crown jewels" of West End theatre. ________________________. __________________. Nic Greenshields was in the role, however! Thanks!! The lady next to me had an exciting moment (she went oohhhh) when a male dancer was leaping around and his thong showed beneath his costume! ), but the true star of the show has to be the one and only John Owen Jones as the Phantom. A "Must-See". I've seen many shows and this is undoubtedly the greatest of them all. My only word of caution would be take a light jacket, the air conditioning is too good!!. While its largely true of all the big venues, its especially true of the Princess: those back rows of the grand circle (the top level) are ludicrously high, and watching a show from them feels like peering at an ant colony from a helicopter.
