Booking & Theatre Info For Oklahoma!
Performances of Oklahoma! will be at the Wyndham’s Theatre which is a medium size West End venue located in Charing Cross Road, next to Leicester Square station and has a capacity of 878 seats on four levels.
The theatre generally has good views available throughout with each level benefitting from well raked seating, however some seats situated at the end of rows can feature minor restrictions to the overall view of the stage.
The best seats are situated in the centre of rows B-F in the front of the Royal Circle which offer completely unobstructed views of the stage. The front of the Stalls section is also a good option, although due to the high stage in the venue, it can pay to sit more than three rows back.
Theatregoers on a budget looking to book cheap tickets to Oklahoma or last-minute tickets can find value in both the Grand Circle or Balcony sections which both offer clear, although often distant, views of the action. There is also value to be found by studying the seating plan in detail to exploit the price band cut off points throughout the theatre and also by sitting slightly towards the end of rows or further back in the auditorium to bring prices slightly down.
