Booking & Theatre Info For &Juliet
Performances of & Juliet will continue at the Shaftesbury Theatre until at least September 2023. The Shaftesbury Theatre is a medium size venue with a capacity of 1408 seats on three levels. The front of the Stalls features a corridor through the middle splitting it into two sections, with further two aisles which split the back of the Stalls into a further three. Both the Royal and Grand Circles feature some seats with minor restrictions to the view causing the back of the stage to be slightly obscured, so studying the seating plan prior to booking tickets is recommended.
The best seats are located in the centre of rows D-H in the Stalls and offer the best overall experience giving you a clear view of the entire stage. The centre of rows A-D of the Royal Circle also offer great views for patrons who prefer to view the stage from an elevated position
There is value for money to be found in some sections of the rear of the Royal Circle, which despite being some distance from the stage still offer a clear view and bargain hunters looking for last-minute or cheap &Juliet tickets can also find value in the clear view seats 14-24 in the Grand Circle on the third level which are often sold at a discount but may not suit people suffering from vertigo.
