Hi any advice appreciated I am taking my 7 year old nephew to this in July probably matinee, the most reasonable tickets at the moment are in the upper circle. He's a small seven so was wondering will this be too far from the stage?, the seats are in row H and one is in the aisle.

Or was wondering should I wait til nearer the day and see if there are any returns in the stalls.It's a Wednesday and not in term time.He's over from Ireland so we need to get tickets, maybe too risky to wait!

Has anyone been and where are the best views ? obviously stalls and dress circle I know.

I have looked on theatre monkey but conflicting opinions given.

Thanks

Am sure upper circle would be fine - big shows are designed so that you're not at a huge disadvantage sitting

further back and unlike in a panto there's no chance of him missing out on audience participation.

If anything being higher up could be more exciting as you get a better idea of the grandness of the show/how big the audience is.

I was worried about the same thing with my daughter. I don't think Upper Circle is too far away but I think an aisle seat is a good idea - and suggest not the front row (or you'll be fretting about having to hang over the edge). Rather than book online, I'd also recommend ringing the box office and explaining that you're taking a child so that they can find you good seats. My daughter went to see Sound of Music when she was 6 (present from my mum) and it worked fine to be up high - you might want to take a cushion or make sure you have some coats to sit on just in case.

hi I made some of the costumes for this production of Oliver so I know the show very well! Dont sit it the stalls for this production. It has been designed to be watched from the dress circle so the view point is perfect from here. There is street scenes like consider yourself where the set moves as they are walking along the street ect and from the stalls you are too low down so miss all of this. Also miss some of the action when you are in fagins lair. If you were higher up than the dress circle I think you would only miss the unimportant action where people are walking along the street above fagins lair. Def go higher up than the stalls.

Also when you book tickets if at all possible get them direct from theatre. You will save yourself huge booking fees(which could be spent on icecreams instead!) and they have better seats available. They release the worse seats available(the ones ath the back and sides) to the agencies first and keep the better ones at the box office.

same goes for the half price ticket booth in London By the time you pay a booking fee there you usually would end up with better tickets for about ?5 more if you went direct to the box office as they def get allocated the side seats first.


hope you enjoy the show, If you want interval drinks then order them at the pub across the road from the theatre The Nell Of Old Drury. Fantastic little pub and drinks will be cheaper than in the theatre.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
