I didn't know where to post this so no idea if there'll be any responses!
I'm looking to book and would like advice on whether the stalls or circle are best. Thanks

I saw it many many years ago. It was great. Doesn't bother me where I sit in the theatre, so long as it's not in the gods. Hope y enjoy it. Lots of tap dancing!!

Hope you enjoy it.

Which theatre? That might make a difference. But I think it is personal preference - I always pick the centre of the dress circle, if I can. I don't understand why the stalls are popular because you have to look up to the stage, which is uncomfortable and you don't see as much.

I saw it on Broadway, I had no intention of seeing a musical while in NY as it's really not my thing, I was like a little kid on the edge of my seat, it was fabulous.

I prefer the circle, just checking that the stalls wouldn't be much better.

If you have the option, for a show like 42nd Street, then front middle of circle, first few rows of raised stalls is good also.

If its a show like Miss Saigon or something where its really vital to hear every word I find that the sound is so much better middle stalls (where the raised bit starts and near the sound engineers usually) .

I love 42nd Street, the music is fantastic, I never get bored of watching it.

My all time favourite musical. Not that I've seen it for years mind!

I haven't seen it at the theatre for a while but watched a version of the stage show on TV not that long ago.

Mid circle it is then. Thanks everyone.
