Dress Circle
Located one level above the Stalls, the Dress Circle offers the best overall views of the stage at the Criterion Theatre.
This section of the venue is long and narrow and curves around in a horseshoe shape, this of course means at the seats at the end of rows are facing the stage from an angle.
The Dress Circle is well raked; therefore ensuring that those at the back of the section can enjoy good views unobstructed by those in front of them. The best seats are in the middle of row A and B, and many agree that they offer better views than the best seats in the Stalls.
The Upper Circle overhang begins at row B, cutting off the view of the top of the stage from row G back.
The Dress Circle offers comfortable seats but legroom does feel very restricted. Taller audience members are advised to aim for a seat in row A or an aisle seat to ensure plenty of comfort.
This part of the venue offers some seats that have restricted views due to the support pillars placed around the Dress Circle, these seats should be avoided as obstruction is severe and can really hinder your experience.
Due to this section being well raked, seats at the back do not feel too distant from the stage and one can still enjoy the production fully.
The Dress Circle section of the Criterion Theatre is not wheelchair accessible and is not suited to those with reduced mobility.
