History

The Palace Theatre opened in January 1891 with the intention of being a home for English Grand Opera. Originally titled The Royal English Opera house, its first two productions (Ivanhoe and La Basoche) were successes, but there were no other works ready to fill the theatre. It was sold a year later, converted into a grand musical hall and renamed the Palace Theatre of Varieties. The theatre changed hands again in 1904 and new manager Alfred Butt emphasized a variety line-up, including dancing girls and film screenings (which began in 1897).

In 1911, the theatres title was altered to The Palace Theatre, and saw memorable performance throughout the rest of the 20th Century. In 1922, the theatre played host to the famous comedy group The Marx Brothers, who performed selections from their shows on Broadway. The musical comedy No, No, Nanette opened in 1925 and ran for 665 performances. Other shows of this era include Princess Charming (1926), The Girl Friend (1927) and Gay Divorce (1933); Fred Astaire’s final stage musical.

These musical successes would continue with The Sound of Music (opening in 1961 and running for 2,385 performances), Jesus Christ Superstar (1972-80), and Les Miserables (1985), which ran for 19 years before transferring to the Queens Theatre. Recent and popular productions include The Woman in White (2004-06), Spamalot (2006-09), and Priscilla Queen of the Desert (2009-11).

Seating plan and where to sit

The best seats at the Palace Theatre are in the centre of the Stalls, around rows G to K, where the high stage and a decent rake put the action close to eye level. If those are gone, the front and centre of the Dress Circle is the closest alternative and arguably the best view in the house. The Palace holds around 1,440 across four levels: the Stalls, the Dress Circle, the Grand Circle and the Balcony.

LevelBest forWorth knowing
StallsThe most immersive view, close to eye levelCentre rows G to K are the sweet spot. Rear rows sit under the Dress Circle overhang, and the outer seats of the front rows are sold as restricted.
Dress CircleA clean, elevated view of the whole stageFront and centre rows are excellent. The far ends of the first few rows and the side boxes are restricted.
Grand CircleA higher but affordable overviewAim for the centre to avoid the safety rail on the sides. This level is a long way back.
BalconyThe lowest prices in the theatreOne of the steepest and highest balconies in the West End, roughly 60 feet from the stage. Safety rails and the rake restrict most seats.

Best seats at the Palace Theatre

For Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the centre of the Stalls gives you the full sweep of the staging and effects at close range, with rows G to K the pick of the section. The front and centre of the Dress Circle is the standout upper choice, offering a slightly raised view that takes in the whole stage picture.

Seats to check before you book

The Palace is a tall, narrow theatre, so restricted views come from support pillars, safety rails and circle overhangs. The rear of the Stalls loses the top of the stage to the Dress Circle overhang, and the outer seats in the front Stalls rows, plus the side boxes, carry restrictions. The Grand Circle side seats sit behind a safety rail, and the Balcony is steeply raked and distant, so even the better central seats there have a partial view.

Best value

The best value sits towards the rear of each level and across the Balcony, where overhangs, pillars and distance bring prices down sharply. The Balcony is the cheapest way in, so long as you are comfortable with the height and steep rake. If you are not sure which level suits you, our West End seating guide explains how the levels compare. Compare live prices and seat availability across every section at Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

I finally got tickets to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Parts 1 & 2) after wanting to go for years, so I was really excited to see what the hype was about. Entry was straightforward: bag checks, a quick scan, tickets shown, then you’re in. The first thing you see is the merch store with show-exclusive items. I grabbed a couple of key rings as souvenirs (something I always do), a bit pricey at around £20 for two and a bag, but expected for theatre merch. They also sell a programme book for £5 with cast info and behind-the-scenes bits, which is actually pretty worth it. The bar area was classy too, and the staff were really friendly and fun. One downside: the seats are tight. I’m not a big guy and still felt cramped 😂 But once the show started, the acting was so good that I honestly forgot about it most of the time. There were a few small things that broke immersion though. Early on, the Sorting Hat actor accidentally said “Gryffindor” instead of “Slytherin,” which confused the whole audience. There was also an unexpected 10-20 minute technical pause that wasn’t the intermission, which disrupted the flow a bit. And Hagrid’s portrayal felt slightly off at times (plus him adjusting his beard mid-scene was unintentionally funny 😂). That said, a lot of the performances were amazing, especially Scorpius, Albus, Snape, and Moaning Myrtle. Scorpius in particular stole the show for me, giving total Matt Smith/Doctor Who energy. Overall, despite a few hiccups and the cramped seating, the staff were great and the production quality and acting were fantastic. I’d definitely recommend seeing both parts in one day if you can. It’s a long day, but totally worth it.

If you haven't seen Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, I highly recommend taking the time to do so. Not in New York, not in Hamburg — but in London. Only there will you get the full experience. It’s such a great piece. Even the theatre itself feels magical. Go and watch it now. Later this year, it will apparently change and you’ll only be able to see the shorter version. So do it now while you still can. You won’t regret it.

I've watched the Harry Potter play and it was just amazing - best performance I've ever seen in my life. The building is magnificent as well, but indeed, not the most comfortable one. I got my tickets to the Grand Circle E12 for 70 quids, and it was great I can highly recommend!

An exquisite theatre where we watched "Harry Potter and The Cursed Child" - stunning choreography and set design throughout, with some incredible cliffhangers at every part of the story. The show is broken into 4 parts over 2 shows - each show having an intermission in the middle. Epic story, breathtaking visuals and very talented acting from all! Ron was super funny to watch on the stage 😉 Some feedback is around the pricing of the merchandise - I wish it was not so expensive and more affordable for families. The ticket prices are already around £100 or more per ticket! Would be helpful if pricing was more family friendly, rather then profit focused. Another area of feedback is to allow for birthday announcements - no system for this currently. Otherwise, a wonderful experience for the whole family. P.S. The dementors are super realistic and scary!

The rear Stalls lose the top of the stage to the Dress Circle overhang, the outer seats of the front Stalls rows and the side boxes are restricted, and the Grand Circle side seats sit behind a safety rail.

Step-free wheelchair access is available to the Stalls via an alternative entrance, with space for wheelchair users and companions.
