Boxes at the Apollo Theatre

Eight Boxes in total, spread across three levels, holding 28 seats between them. They are not all the same proposition and the difference between them is worth understanding before you book one.

Stalls Boxes A and B

Three seats each, one either side of the stage. These are the ones worth considering.

They use ordinary chairs rather than fixed seating, which sounds like a small thing and is not: it means you can shift your chair to face the stage properly rather than sitting where the architecture puts you.

Take all three seats if you can. You get the Box to yourselves, and you can arrange the chairs rather than working around a stranger.

They are sold as restricted view, and that is accurate. You cannot see the nearest side of the stage from them. They may also be shared with the sound speakers.

When they are worth it: if they come up at second or third price, they are a better buy than a seat in the Circles at the same money.

Dress Circle Boxes A to D

Four Boxes at Dress Circle level, holding four, three, three and four seats.

Grand Circle Boxes A to D

Four Boxes, two seats each, and the ones to be careful with. You have to lean forward to see the stage from these. For a two-hour show that is a long time to be sitting forward, and we would take a seat in the body of the level over one of these.
