Is it worth going to the theatre to watch the ballet / a musical if you're right at the back?

[Ideasideas]

I don't have much spare money at the moment but would love to take my girls to see Matthew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty at Sadler's Wells Theatre, and The Snowman at Peacock Theatre.

I can only afford for us to sit at the back. Is it worth going?

It's absolutely worth it. We've sat in the back for Nutcracker and Phantom. DH would argue its easier for him to catch 40 winks in the cheap seats, but he does come along under sufferance! I think the cheaper seats in the theater give a better view than the standard seats, or standing space, in a stadium for a pop concert.
