Value for money seats
- Balcony (A-J): Seats toward the end of each row in the Balcony are more affordable while still giving you decent views of the performance. Since this section is quite elevated, the rear seats might make it harder to see the stage. The seats in the front rows (A-C) offer better views at slightly higher rates. The Boxes along the sides have comfortable seating but you might find some parts of the performances suffer from partially restricted sightlines.
- Dress Circle (E-H): This section has some of the best views of the stage thanks to both its elevation and a comfortable rake. The middle rows are your best bet for affordably priced seats with quality views.
- Orchestra (K-P): You’ll get the most immersive experience from the Orchestra section. But since it isn’t raked, your immersion might suspend now and then if you happen to be in the rear seats. For good value with decent views, try seats closer to the middle of the section, in the Second Orchestra, between seats 2-20 in the Right section and 1-19 in the Left section.
Best views of the stage
- Orchestra (AA-J, Center): Nothing beats a stage-front view for shows at the Lyric Theatre. It's an immersive experience no doubt and you’ll get to see mastery in action with shows like Harry Potter and the Cursed Child that use high-level puppetry and stage design to bring the magic to life. Try seats closer to the center to really feel like you’re part of the show.
- Dress Circle (A-D): Seats in the Dress Circle might not get you up-close and personal with every performance but they’re a great way to enjoy the stage design and shows with larger, ensemble casts. For the best views from this section, try seats numbered 107-116, closer to the middle.
- Balcony (A-C): The Center Balcony gives you a clearer view of the stage than the rear or side seats. Rows A and B offer the best views, while C offers decent views with legroom.
