Have been meaning to write a review of my experience at Her Majesty's Theatre when I went to see The Phantom of the Opera at the end of January with a friend.
We chose £20 offer seats in the Grand Circle - Row G - Seats 4 and 5. Whilst high up we still had a good view. When we first arrived and sat down, we could see the staging and everything but when this guy came and sat down he obstructed my view, seeing as there were only 6 seats in our row but no one else we there, we moved up two seats in the middle only to be confronted by a late couple who were dithering to sit down then moving up and down and kissing throughout till my friend told them to "Get a room!" - I get it is a romantic story but there is a time and place for displays of affection. Not in the theatre!
During the interval we moved to the last two seats on the end nearest to the aisle and from then on had an "uninterrupted view" of the stage.
I guess you get what you pay for. They are not bad seats, but just take in mind if you get someone with a big head/is tall then it will obstruct your view. You can practically see everything on stage, just when the actors/actresses are at the very front of the stage then you can't see.
The production is phenomenal. Very well put together. I wouldn't normally choose to see something like this but a friend went and when I saw the trailer I had to go. The theatrics, costumes, acting and staging are very "on point!" - It really is incredible.
My pictures show the view you have before people sit down, obviously can't take pictures once the show is on but it gives you a general idea of the view from the seats should you wish to purchase these kind of seats.

Went to see Phantom of the Opera at Her Majesty's Theatre. It's the first time seeing a London show and I was not disappointed. The theatre is elegant and vintage style. Staff very friendly. They have a range of drinks at the bar. The seats are a little cramped and the toilets were dated and crowded but it didn't spoil the experience. Wouldn't hesitate to book at this theatre again.

Saw “The Phantom of the Opera” with friend in seats, Grand Circle A28 & A29 which are great seat, worth the price. For Grand Circle, it’d be best get on front roll on A to have clear stage view, even if the actions happen on the edge of stage, you can ‘lean in’ a bit to see sometimes. Good legroom and the seat itself is good.
Her Majesty’s Theatre itself is beautiful and charming. Just when you step in the theatre, you’re charmed into the Phantom’s world. The show itself is specular. I have seen the show & the movie before, but it still makes it as if the first time you watch this musical. Great cast & amazing singing, song and music. You can’t help but silently sing a long in your head throughout this musical. Highly recommended!

Phantom of the Opera is a MAGNIFICENT show ! The technique, the music, the role-playing, the decor, the costume, the light, the SINGERS ! Pure perfection, astonishing. It is a masterpiece. I got a 66£ seat in grand circle, I could see very well (not perfectly). It is actually worth to pay more and get better seat. Go for it

What a stunning location. The acoustics are astounding. Visited to watch Phantom of the Opera in November 2022. Would highly recommend watching a show here. Stayed near by within walking distance. Bar drinks quite pricey and limited choice, but as I'm not a big drinker, it did not worry me.

Oh my gosh ... what a beautiful place!! And WHAT A SHOW! We went for my birthday to watch The Phantom of the Opera and it was absolutely amazing!! Bravo!! The theater was a lovely place with lovely staff and from what I could see, it was nice and clean. Drinks were very expensive but it's as expected for London Theater prices ... Would definitely recommend and will be booking again!!!

Went to see Phantom of the Opera. Absolutely amazing experience!!! All staff extremely quick and professional. The whole experience was effortlessly smooth, even drinks at intermission very well planned, and it was a very busy night. The show itself was everything I expected and more, every member of the cast was perfect for their roles. Not just the leads (who were of spectacular). I have never seen special effects of this quality before in any production, fantastic. I can not think of one thing that could be improved from the moment we entered to when we left. Will definitely be returning for another production.
