Q:
I'm going to see The Mousetrap while in London. I looked at the seating chart and it was a little confusing, in that two seats next to each other could be different prices, and seats located behind others were more expensive, whereas I would have thought they would be cheaper. Is there a rhyme or reason for this? Any help for this first-timer going to see what I'm sure will be a wonderful play would be most appreciated!! Thank you in advance.

My advice would be to look at the official theatre website and seating plan. And if possible call and speak to The theatre’s own Box Office. We buy direct from the theatre not a ticket agent or reseller. You are then assured that the tickets and prices are genuine. It’s an excellent theatre and play. There is also a website ( give it a google) called something like view from my seat where you can see the view from the seat ( funnily enough!) Quite often in London theatres stalls are more expensive that Circle Seats. Hope this helps.

If you mean where you will be sitting then the answer would be no. Leg room is very tight, crossing your legs even difficult, though we are a tall family. My suggestion would be to ask the lovely staff in the ticket office if you could leave your suitcase with them. Back in the day I'm sure there was a cloakroom for checking in your coat etc, possibly still is.

Q:
Is your view obstructed on front row balcony seats?
A:
We sat to the far left so up against the wall if you will so there was a small part of the stage to the far left that we couldn’t see. But that was remedied by leaning forward a bit.
