It provides you a superb view of the entire stage and the phantasm of the characters being extraordinarily life-like. From expertise, that is excellent for the littles and particularly good if you have not seen the present earlier than as you do not miss a factor.
Nonetheless, this time we sat within the stalls on the very entrance in Row A (seats 15, 16 and 17). Wow!!!!! Thoughts blow!!!!
We would not often go for seats right here however I am so glad that we did. We might see the entire stage (however not the ground), and everybody up shut, as in actually shut! I want The Lion King would choose to permit photographs and filming within the closing quantity (like Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cinderella and in addition SIX) so I might have proven you the view! It felt just like the characters had been singing to you at instances, and Little Button acquired a great deal of cheeky smiles from the actors. The one factor I would say is that leg room is not ample right here. We’re fairly quick, so it did not hassle us. Nonetheless, I would think about if you happen to had been 5’8 upwards, it may very well be a contact uncomfortable over time.
Prime ideas: If you happen to handle to e book seats within the stalls, sit your baby within the aisle seat. Characters stroll down each aisles within the stalls space and it is such a magical expertise! *Free cozy booster cushions had been out there to borrow for youngsters, nevertheless, Little Button had a transparent view from our seats, so she did not need to use her one.
