Decent seat width and leg room. The front of the stage is obscured by the balcony unless you lean forward. The rake on the seats is very steep, so it wouldn't be good for those afraid of heights.
Great view of the stage, unobstructed by other people's heads as the steep tiering of seats meant the back rests of the row infront were shin height. Comfortable seat, but minimal leg room and floor space for belongings. I'm 5'5" and this was no issue.

Seats are a bit narrow, but the rake is very good, so good view. It's a bit vertiginous, so probably not good if you're scared of heights.
No seat in this theatre is particularly comfortable. Leg room is a bit limited unless you are in Row J of the stalls in rhe left or right blocks. With a few exceptions, the view is very good anywhere in this venue. Row G is fine for comedy or a play, but would suggest further back for music.

Excellent view, plenty of legroom but is walk way to the toilet
Great view of the stage and no problem seeing over people in front- I'm 5ft and usually struggle! Would book again.

It was a lovely show I had a good seat but it was a bit dated .

Restricted view, extra leg room but I have never had a restricted view in any theatre that is literally a wall! The extra leg room is a waste of time too as next to toilet so people walking through. Light on for toilet throughout show. Terrible seat.
Good view with railings and walkway in front . Not too bad legroom but can poke legs through railings if cramped

The view from this seat is fantastic, you can see the whole stage, and unless you arevery short the safety rail isn't in the way. The leg room is okay, although it might be a problem for tall people.

Perfect view directly in front of stage.

Show not started but great view from here. Cramped but that's theatres of a certain age for you.

Perfect view!
Decent leg room, and unless you are very short, the balcony rail isn't in the way. Good view of whole stage.
Incredible view!
