Help with Moulin Rouge tickets

I'm looking at buying a couple of tickets to Moulin Rouge as a present, I'd prefer not to spend an absolute fortune though! Does anyone know which seats would be "good enough"?

Not as such, but I hear you on this. It's ridiculously expensive to go to see musicals. What I do use us SeatPlan, where real people have uploaded a photo of the view from their seat. It's very useful, and you'll get a good idea of what the genuine view is before forking out.

Thanks, I'm on quite a budget but equally want it to be enjoyable!

My friends and I sat in the can can seats when we went which was amazing pretty much on stage. They weren’t cheap but also far from the most expensive (I think we paid £99 each) but that was a couple years ago so may have changed.

Interested in this thread?

Have a look at theatre monkey website has seat plans colour coded for each theatre
moulin rouge is at the Piccadilly

Can't paste here as it copyrighted.

I got an amazing seat in the stalls on the day for £40 about a month ago. Would have been £160ish if I’d booked ahead.

can you take a gamble on rush tickets on TodayTix?

We paid £80 each and the seats were fine, anything less I think would be rubbish.

I used to use theattemonkey but seatplan is definitely superior imo these days

I'd go stalls or front two rows of dress or upper. We were a little further back in upper and had to really lean to see the front of the staging. Some of the staging is in the audience.

It obviously was very close, and a different type of view to sitting further back and getting a view of the whole stage, but you were right in the action, literally skirts sweeping over your head type thing! Could see all the emotion and felt a part of it. We really enjoyed it. Only thing is I don’t think you’re able to go in and out if I remember rightly except for in the interval (or an emergency obviously) as you’re literally closed in around the stage, so need to make sure not to drink too much and need the loo!
