Guide to St. Martin's Theatre seating plan
St. Martin's Theatre Stalls
The Stalls area of the St. Martin’s Theatre has 251 seats spread across 14 rows. It is divided into four sections, with one big section facing the stage and the rest three sections below the overhang, which are divided by two aisles. The stalls have some of the best seats in the theatre and come at a premium price. The rows are named A-N with row A being closest to the stage. The middle seats 6-16 of the rows D-H have the best views of the stage and are also the best seats in the theatre.
St. Martin's Theatre Dress Circle
St. Martin’s Theatre Dress Circle area has 123 seats spread across six rows. The Dress Circle area is divided into three sections that are separated by two aisles. The center section of the Dress Circle is quite close to the stage and offers unhindered views. The seats are also well-raked and the seats even at the back of the Dress Circle are quite good. The seats (A1-3, B1, and A24-26) at either end of the section where the floor curves, blocks a small part of the stage. Seat F1 is also a wheelchair accessible seat, and you can access it via a ramp from the Dress Circle entrance.
St. Martin's Theatre Upper Circle
The Upper Circle at the St. Martin’s Theatre has 153 seats across eight rows. The Upper Circle area is divided into two sections by an aisle. The rows are A-H, with A being closest to the stage. The rows A, B, and C have somewhat obstructed views due to the safety railing. The seats are very steep and people with vertigo are advised against sitting in this section. There is very little leg room and it is best to choose aisle seats if you are especially tall. These seats are also the cheapest in the theatre but don’t necessarily have the best viewing experience as the seats can appear far away from the stage.
