We sat Royal Circle (aka mezzanine) on the left side - I52-53 - there is dynamic pricing and because it was the only day we could go (and did not win the lottery), we paid 114GBP and they were great seats with full view. Theatreboard reports that if you are not picky on dates and look out several weeks, there are - if not lots - a fair amount of tickets under 100 GBP including some of the sought after 29.50 GBP front row seats. There also are tickets on the Theatreboard "notice' board for sale for under 100 GBP. There is a lot of discussion over there on pricing and seat location.
Note:
If you are front row center, you likely will get paint on your clothes. Differing reports on how easily the paint comes out in the wash.

Play Esq. said: "Jordan Catalano said: "“You Must Love Me” will always be in “Evita”. At this point in time, the musical has has the song longer than it’s been without it and actually, one of my favoritemoments in this revival happens at the very end of that number
I actually found that it really slows down the show. It’s hard to keep momentum after the waltz, but You Must Love Me brings the whole show to a stop. While Rachel sings it much better than Madonna, I personally wish it were cut."
I totally agree. Lovely song, but the last thing it needs is a ballad there.

If you’re in the center but underneath an overhang, either in the orchestra or mezzanine, do you miss much of the show - including the video stuff?
Some but not much. The video in this is actually quite limited compared to Sunset. Honestly, you mostly miss the confetti in act one, not really a big deal.

The overhang shouldn’t impact the video too much, I wouldn’t think? If I’m remembering correctly, the screen isn’t very high and like said above it’s used (thankfully) very sparingly during
“Don’t Cry For Me….”, the beginning of “High Flying, Adored” and “Eva’s Final Broadcast”, in that last song she’s also onstage while singing.

Ugh, I love 'Something Just Broke' and its juxtaposition with 'How I Saved Roosevelt.' The contrast between those two moments is really great and just works for me.

Thanks for everyone’s help. I am not going to London, alas, but this was helpful for a family member who just bought a ticket for a Friday night performance later in July (Row H in Royal Circle, left side but three seats from the center). Price was reasonable.

The new production of "The Producers" opening next month at the Garrick (transfer from Menier) has a new tag line - "The truth is we never left you" https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLsXhlINZSb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

On that other board they are talking about February 2026.... I am sure Lea Michele is not thrilled to hear such rumors.

God saw The Devil give Lea the Chess revival....God said Not So Fast ....and he's sending in an Angel named Rachel to defeat her in the spring.

This is not nice! Funny…and probably true…but not nice!

Also in that discussion, it’s not taking the Majestic but a currently occupied theater that hasn’t announced it’s closing yet.

An ATG venue?

The Hirshfeld might be a nice choice in terms of the balcony facade and also it's on a much quieter block than most Bway houses, so the mass amounts of people gathering could be less of an issue.

This makes the most sense........... 100%

I’d assume ATG and the Hirschfeld seems a good pick. Rogue has been on the wire for a bit now and has been stunt casting.

If they get lucky with absence of sirens/disruptive city folk etc, the Lyric could work. A gorgeous facade and balconies. Imagine Eva singing down over 42nd Street. Guaranteed to attract a crowd.

Idk, looking at the pictures of the Palladium’s balcony and the Hirschfeld’s balcony, there’s a massive stairwell on the side…and remember most ATG productions don’t always end up in ATG venues when they come to Broadway

That’s the fire escape stairwell so I wonder if they would be breaking fire code somehow by using it/blocking it. There’s also a tree and a light post right in front which would be a a moment-killer.

After Sunset lost its entire investments i wonder if this will give Evita pause?

Did it lose its entire investment, or just not recoup it's investment? Those are different things.
