Booking & Theatre Info For Only Fools And Horses: The Musical

Only Fools and Horses: The Musical is at Theatre Royal Haymarket which is a medium size venue with four levels of seating and a capacity of 893 seats. Views of the stage can be varied within the theatre because of the curve in the seating meaning that some of the seats offer side-angled views. Due to the slight restrictions in some sections it is highly recommended to study the seating plan in detail prior to purchase however all seats with restrictions are clearly marked.

The best seats are situated in the centre of rows E-J in the Stalls and also in the front rows of the Royal Circle which is a very good vantage point to view the action from an elevated position. The theatre also has two boxes in the Stalls which are located adjacent to the stage on each side of the auditorium.  Boxes each contain two seats which must be booked as a pair but offer patrons a totally private experience making them ideal for a 'date night!'

Bargain hunters searching for cheap tickets to Only Fools and Horses can find good 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 as the restrictions are minimal and should not hinder your overall enjoyment!  Seats in the Gallery are located very high up on the fourth level and can feel distant from the action. This is reflected in the ticket price but these seats may not be suitable for patrons suffering from vertigo or uncomfortable with heights.
