First time at Sadlers Wells, is it better to be the front of the first circle or towards the back of the stalls please?

I've always preferred it to. the front, but that is just my preference.
What are you going to see ?

Have a look on A view from my seat

This is a good idea.

The middle of the middle rows in the circle are great. Reasonable price and good view.

Thanks for the quick replies. Sadler’s Wells isn’t on that site for some reason. I found a few others on a different site, but hoping for personal opinions.

@KezzaMucklowe I don’t understand your post - sorry 😔.
It’s Swan Lake.
Just wondered if it was best to be higher in the first circle, or further back and lower in the stalls.
I’m short if that makes a difference, stuck behind a tall person?

We always go in the second circle towards the back. Can see fine.

Sadlers Wells is a modern theatre, you can't really go wrong. I'd go towards the front of the circle in your position. I prefer to watch ballet from above tbh.

The front of the Circle is the best seats for dance.

Thank you everyone. Front of the circle it is then.

@BnmLK I need to go to specsavers!
