Booking & Theatre Info For Only Fools And Horses: The Musical
The Theatre Royal Haymarket is a medium size West End theatre that has four levels of seating and a capacity of 893 seats. The venue boasts one of London's most impressive Victorian auditoriums however, views of the stage can be varied because of the curve in the seating meaning that some seats offer side-angled views. Due to the slight restrictions that exist in some sections, it is recommended to study the seating plan in detail before purchase however all seats with restrictions are clearly labelled.
Premium seats in the theatre are situated in the centre seats of rows E-J and also in the front rows of the Royal Circle which is a good vantage point and has great views of the stage from an elevated position. The front of the Royal Circle has clear-view seating even at the end of rows however central seating offers the best overall experience.
The Theatre Royal Haymarket also has two boxes in the Stalls. Located adjacent to the stage on each side of the auditorium, these boxes contain two seats each and must both be booked as a pair but offer patrons a private experience making them ideal for a 'date night!'
Bargain hunters searching for cheap Only Fools and Horses tickets can find value in the ends of the rows of the Stalls and Royal Circle even with the slight curve in the balcony, and the restricted view seats in the Upper Circle can also provide good value for money as the restrictions are minimal and should not hinder your overall enjoyment! Seats in the Gallery however are very high up on the fourth level and feel distant from the action happening down below. This is reflected in the price but these seats may not be suitable for patrons suffering from vertigo or uncomfortable with heights.
