Les Mis Upper Circle, Good purchase?

[Bob30]

I have just purchased seats towards the middle of this row for £25 (£25 tickets for under 25's) instead of paying £45, has anyone experienced the seats in the upper circle and have i made a wise choice? :)

The upper circle is very steep and very rounded and rarely offers brilliant views, but there are exceptions and £25 is good value :)

Which seats are you sat in specifically?

I usually don't mind sitting too far back, but do not sit in the last section of the Upper Circle. The sound gets trapped in the main dome of the theatre, and all you get in the back of the Upper Circle is awful stereo sound... it really disengages you. I went on a Wednesday night in December last year, and sat back there. My two friends were sitting in the front of the Upper Circle's restricted seats, and had an extra one beside them. I moved to it during the interval, and, despite the view, had a much better and engaged time. Sound makes a huge difference.

Clap- I am on Row A not quite sure of the seat numbers as I wasn't the one who booked tickets :) this will be the first time seeing the show so hopefully my seats will offer a good view! :)

Thankstophantom- luckily I am I'm row A so shouldn't suffer from this problem!

I have sat up there for Alfie Boa and enjoyed the show immensely.

There's a bar which restricts the view in Row A but as long as you're of average height you should be ok. If it's towards the end of the row, however, you will maybe miss about half the stage.

I know they are towards the middle of the row and i am about 5"5' so judging by your comments i should be fine - thankyou for you're comments!

[ClapYo'Hands]

I gather this is your first time seeing the show? Enjoy it, it's a masterpiece.

[Bob30]

Yes! I am stupidly excited and ashamed to admit that i only bought tickets this soon to see Sierra as Fantine as it has been on my "to see" list but i took the attitude that it will run for years and as i rarely go to London and other shows have always taken priority!

But i have fallen victim to stunt casting and cannot wait!
