Bargain hunters looking for value should look at seats in either the Circle or in seats down the sides of the thrust stage to book cheap tickets to Crazy For You however these do offer very angled views of the stage although productions that generally showcase at the Gillian Lynne Theatre take this into account and play to all sides of the audience, so you should not feel isolated or miss any of the action by sitting in these seats.
