Dress Circle at the Kit Kat Club
Rows A to G on one side of the stage and AA to DD on the other, one level up, and the middle of the building in both price and position. It is the level to take if you would rather look at the whole thing from a little way above than sit on top of it, and you are still close. Given the choice between the two, the Stalls put you nearer the action.
Behind the stage, or in front
Part of this level sits behind the stage. Those seats are a good alternative, and worth having when they come in cheaper. Call us and we will compare what is left behind and in front on your date.
The production is staged for an audience on every side, so a seat behind the stage gets one half of a scene first and the other half a moment later. Nothing is playing to a wall.
What is in front of you
The rails and balustrades around this level are thick, and from some seats they sit in the eyeline. Which seats is not published anywhere. If you are on the short side, or booking for someone who is, take a row in the front half rather than one tucked in behind a rail.
The Upper Circle above does not overhang far enough to take anything off this level.
Getting up here
Stairs only. There is no lift anywhere in the building, so the count is what you are committing to: 32 steps to the front of this level, and 59 if you want the Dress Circle bar. Handrails throughout. If steps are difficult, book the Stalls instead and read the access route first.
There is a bar at this level, 59 steps up from the foyer, so the interval does not mean going all the way back down.
Dress Circle FAQs
Is the Dress Circle at the Kit Kat Club any good?
Yes. It is the level to take when the Stalls look dear and 85 steps look long. You get height and the whole stage at once for less than the Stalls costs. Book the front of it rather than the back. A seat behind the stage is a good buy when it costs less.
Are the seats behind the stage bad seats?
No. They feel a little behind, but they are actually fine, and if they cost less than the seats in front they are the ones to book. Everything happens on a circle in the middle of the building and the production is built to be watched from every side, so you get the same material in a different order to the people opposite you.
