Hello Jacqui Where you sit depends on your preference of view. If you like an overall view of the whole stage, the Dress Circle is best, especially for musicals, opera or dance. If you like to up be close and and personal, as we are a very intimate Victorian theatre, it may be better to sit in the Stalls. The Stalls are raked (on a slope) and it is better to sit someonere from Row G backwards. Row A can be at head-height when you are sitting down, so for the rake to be effective for you to have a good view of the stage it may be best to be a bit further back. Rows A & B are absolutely fine if it is is stand-up comedy or a music show, but if you want to enjoy the whole performance it may be better to sit a little further back. I hope that helps.
