There is a bit of an overhang from the level above, but it doesn’t really affect your view of the stage. You are able to see the props/backdrop and have a good view of the performing cast - close enough you can see their expressions quite well. Mamma Mia!, 29 Jul 2025

Slightly high up in the dress circle with the ceiling just being in view but you get an unrestricted view of the main action on stage. Legroom is tight so a tall person would probably feel cramped. However it was overall a positive experience and the ceiling view did not detract from the scenery and stage Mamma Mia!, 25 Oct 2018
