History

The Gielgud Theatre, originally called the Hicks Theatre, opened on 27 December 1906. It’s first two productions, the musicals The Beauty of Bath and My Darling, were both written by Seymour Hicks, who the theatre was named after. When Hick’s wife missed several performances of The Dashing Little Duke (1909) due to illness, he stepped into the role personally.

In that same year, Charles Frohman became sole manager of theatre and quickly renamed it the Globe Theatre. Lady Randolph Churchill (Winston Churchill’s mother) wrote the reopening production, His Borrowed Plumes. The next two decades were peppered with successful productions such as Fallen Angels in 1925, Call It a Day in 1935 (which ran for 509 performances), and John Gielgud’s production of The Importance of Being Earnest in 1938 (in which Gielgud both starred and directed).

Gielgud’s next production, Christopher Fry’s The Lady’s Not for Burning, has a successful premiere in 1949, and that success was followed up in the next decades with A Man For All Seasons (1960, also its stage premiere), There’s a Girl in My Soup (1966, ran for 1,064) and Daisy Pulls it Off (1983, 1,180 performance, the theatre’s longest run).

With the opening of Shakespeare’s Globe on the South Bank, the theatre was renamed the Gielgud Theatre in 1994, both in honor of the actor’s contribution, and to avoid public confusion over two similar venue titles. An extensive refurbishment took place between 2007-8.

Seating plan and where to sit

For the best all-round view at the Gielgud Theatre, aim for the centre of the Stalls, roughly the middle rows, where the rake and sightlines are strongest. If you want to be closer to the stage, the front and centre of the Stalls puts you right in the action, while the centre of the Dress Circle gives a cleaner elevated view of the whole stage. The theatre holds just under 1,000 across three levels: the Stalls, the Dress Circle and the Grand Circle.

LevelBest forWorth knowing
StallsOverall best views, close to the stageCentre rows are the sweet spot. Front rows sit low against a raised stage, and the Dress Circle overhang clips the top of the stage from the rear rows.
Dress CircleA clean, elevated head-on view from the centreThe curve of the circle means seats towards the ends of the front rows are angled and can be restricted.
Grand CircleBest value, decent views from the frontYou are higher and further back. A safety bar runs across the front and can clip the view from the first few rows, and seats at the far ends of rows are side-on to the stage.

Best seats at the Gielgud Theatre

For Oliver!, the centre of the Stalls is hard to beat, giving you a full, level view of the ensemble numbers and the staging without craning. The centre of the Dress Circle is the strong alternative, lifting you just enough to take in the whole picture while staying close to the action.

Seats to check before you book

The Dress Circle curves quite tightly, so seats towards the far ends of the front rows sit side-on to the stage and lose part of the view. In the rear of the Stalls, the Dress Circle overhang is low and can cut off the top of the stage. On the Grand Circle, a safety bar runs across the front and can clip the view from the first few rows, and seats at the far ends of the rows are angled side-on to the stage, so read a seat view before choosing them.

Best value

The Grand Circle is where the value sits. You are further from the stage and higher up, but the front rows of this level still give a solid view for noticeably less than the Stalls or Dress Circle. 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 Oliver!.

Fantastic. The theatre is absolutely beautiful, only small but perfect. We went to see Oliver which was incredible. The cast were absolutely amazing. What a superb production. This was our first visit to this particular theatre and it didn't disappoint. It's history is amazing and when you sit a look around, then think of all the wonderful people that have trod them boards it was an honour to sit and see the talent and dedication of the people on that stage. Going to the theatre gives an experience that nothing else gets close to. This performance will hook you for ever, so it's a must to visit.

The Gielgud Theatre looks great from the outside and even better on the inside. Pretty much all of the seating gives an adequately good view with most of it giving a great view because of its design. The stage was larger than normal which had to be to put on such a show as Oliver. The Acoustics from the orchestra was amazing. Plenty of bars and toilets to accommodate such a wide audience.

Frequently asked questions

Where are the best seats at the Gielgud Theatre?

The best seats are in the centre of the Stalls, around the middle rows, where the rake and sightlines give a full, level view of the stage. The centre of the Dress Circle is the strongest alternative if you prefer an elevated head-on view.

Which seats at the Gielgud Theatre have restricted views?

Seats towards the far ends of the front Dress Circle rows are angled and can be restricted by the curve of the circle. The rear of the Stalls sits under a low overhang that can clip the top of the stage. On the Grand Circle, a safety bar across the front can clip the view from the first few rows, and seats at the far ends of the rows are side-on to the stage.

How many seats does the Gielgud Theatre have?

The Gielgud Theatre seats just under 1,000 people, around 986 to 995 depending on the configuration. They are spread across three levels: the Stalls, the Dress Circle and the Grand Circle.

Is there step-free or accessible seating at the Gielgud Theatre?

Wheelchair spaces are located in the Dress Circle, with companion seats alongside and a ramp providing level access to the front of that level. Accessing the Stalls and Grand Circle involves stairs, so the Dress Circle is the step-free option, and it is best to contact the box office in advance.

What is the best value section for Oliver! at the Gielgud Theatre?

The Grand Circle offers the best value for Oliver!. You are higher up and further back, but the front rows of this level still give a solid view for noticeably less than the Stalls or Dress Circle.
