I was seated in stalls row C seat 11, right in the centre. The material has been carefully compared Seating gives ideal view of stage no matter where. !LONG MAY PHANTOM RUN!!! I shall focus on my experience with buying the tickets, rather than the show itself (which was obviously outstandingly amazing!!!) Visited this theatre for the first time - last minute decision so the only seats available were in the back row of the stalls SEATS 1/2/3. If anyone in front of you leans forward, they completely obscure your view and you have quite an area of stage left cut off from view. The only downsideThe people in the front row leaning over the balcony was a little bit annoying as they were quite tall which meant there was a domino effect with the people in row B behind them leaning forward, then the people in row C leaning forward etc etc, but this didnt detract too much as the majority of the action is in the middle of the stage which was clearly visible. Very enjoyable, polished 5 star performance. me and my partner came to see phantom for the first time the show itself was amazing the cast and crew were fantastic, we had one usher who was extremely rude and was really raising his voice to shout out orders, we had tickets in the balcony and are honestly the most uncomfortable theatre seats I have sat in I could not move my legs at all and had to move around a lot much to the dismay of the people in front of us. I was rather annoyed when a man came to the front of the Circle and told everyone to lean back. I'm 5ft 9".

I was very annoyed that the whole thing was played to the Stalls, because not everyone can afford 50 a ticket. Legroom is poor but manageable (Im 61 and it was a small problem, but easy to forget about when watching the production). 'Phantom's tragically dark tale is a mix of romance, gothic horror and mystery and Lloyd Webber chooses to focus on the romantic side of the story. I want to see it again as soon as I can get ticket.

Brilliant show was well worth going to Aberdeen to see this. A wonderful performance by all. >My favourites are: "Masquerade", "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" and "Think of Me", although I love all of it. It's not the greatest score in the world (that title belongs to 'Les Misrables'), but it is successful in so much as it does all that it is designed to do. The atmosphere created was a particular plus-point for me, and by the end of show I was hooked. Erl Carpenter was good, but not in the league of John Owen Jones, who is fab. We sat in the Grand Circle D17 and D18 which is right in the middle. A Front of House man (who had been entertaining us with his witty banter earlier) raced to the row and told them to move back to their own seats but they didn't. I think the connection between Ramin and Robyn is very electric and sexy. This is the fourth time I have seen Theatremonkey's favourite show!

And that we could "have a look around" for any empty seats and change .Given the show was about to begin this wasn't't very useful to us.

You are close to the stage without being too close, you can see the actors faces clearly; and the famous chandelier is just to the right of you a little bit when it goes up and down so it's not very scary being under it. Apart from that it was excellent, and am glad I got an excellent view sold at a restricted price even though it wasn't affected in the slightest. Otherwise a great view with slight obstruction of front left of the stage. I felt the seat was more comfortable as well, maybe as a result of me not having to crane my neck from side to side and upwards.

Phantom is also a quiet musical, and does not rely on deafening the audience to be effective, apart from the natural crescendos within the score, and obviously the Phantoms theme tune The lighting is absurdly clever, as are most of the special effects.

At that time you heard her voice only over the speakers and not coming from the stage as before (I was very close). Excellent seats. Front row, very close to the orchestra pit so not much legroom at all. I felt sorry for Earl that he had to work with such a bad performer who was overacting all the time. Being on the front row, we were able to look down in the pit and thank the musicians in person at the end - WOW were they good and deserve appreciation! Although the disruption was palpable the show itself lacked heart and we hadn't developed any compassion for the characters but it all looked very nice. They work so hard to make the show one of the best I have ever been lucky enough to see. The latter turned out to be the case. _____________________. We would have preferred to think of him walking round in swirling mist in his black suit, and living in the theatre!!! And perhaps come on a UK tour????

Having read a previous reviewer mention the rather cool air-conditioning I came equipped with a warm cardigan - I should have left it at home, I was so warm and didn't feel any kind of cool air in the theatre at all - I left the theatre rather red-faced with the heat. When we bought the tickets I wasn't that excited. It was a dear wish of mine to go to see Phantom, and for my birthday I was treated by the family to the show. Another limitation of Her Majesty's theatre is that it is acoustically bad and offers dismal views.

How can you expect a musical about Opera to be anything but Melodrama?????? I watched 'The Phantom of the Opera' for the first time. My biggest gripe is that the great singing that one would have every right to expect from an "opera-based" show is virtually nonexistent. I did not expect to sob as much as I did, having seen the musical many times and knowing the storyline, but this man is exceptional. The fog during the boat scene didn't seem as bad as some other people have said, so not sure if they've toned it down. Arrived 9am, about 15 people in front. Got the full effect of the chandelier falling too without being directly underneath it! The only tiny problem with view the seats is that you cant see the head when the Phantom enters (2 second obstruction), at the start of Act 2 and the chandelier blocks the phantom for a few seconds when he is at the top of the stage at the end of Act 1.

Legroom was ample and the view was fantastic, I think we saw everything there was to see, so didn't feel restricted in anyway. The show itself still does hold up well as a spectacle - the chandelier, the mirror, the boat, masquerade sequence all still make you go wow and make the many tourists gasp!
