This board seems to get more responses than the West End board, so I thought I'd post this here too: I bought restricted view seats for "Mary Poppins" (because they were the cheapest) and I was wondering if anyone knew about the view of the stage from that area. Would I miss anything?

I have linked for you the 'seats to buy/avoid' page for the Prince Edward Theatre. This site called Theatremonkey was a very valuable tool when we ordered tickets for shows at Christmas.
Thie chap really goes into great detail about the seating plans for all the London West end venues.
Enjoy the show! Oh, and the Prince Edward is a beautiful theatre. So is the Palace where WOMAN IN WHITE is playing.

i think you'll be fine! i went to see the show twice in april and i got restricted view seats both times and i could see everything. they said that there would be a bar partly in my line of vision but it was not a big deal at all. the second time i went with my mom and we both got restriced view, not together and we could both see perfectly. have so much fun-the show is amazing and laura michelle kelly is AWESOME!

I just want to say that theatremonkey is the scourge of all West End box offices. He doesn't go back and see each show at each theatre to alter his "which to buy and which to avoid" coulour coding and is WAY too harsh in how he classifies a lot of seats.

I completely agree with ThoroughlyModernEmily... I got a restricted view seat for Mary Poppins when I was over in London in January, and I saw everything perfectly. The "bar in your way" thing also applied to me, but, honestly, it was barely there.
