what show is playing @her majestys theatre 7 to 12 september and what are seat prices in the stalls. Does the theatre have any stall seats where I can stretch my leg as I have a bad right leg. Also do you have concession tickets for pensioners ? Thanks for your help. Des Hanley
Hi Des,
Looks like Rocky Horror is playing until August and then the next show isn’t until October. A Midsummers Night Dream is playing 3-7 October, and then School of Rock later in October.
The seats are quite narrow, so I recommend you book an aisle seat in the stalls so you can stretch your leg out during the show.
Best regards,
Jess

Are there any concession tickets for shows in this theatre.
Hi Mildred,
Most shows at Her Majesty’s Theatre offer a Concession priced ticket which is generally $10 or $20 cheaper than the full priced ticket. You will need to check the individual show to see if this type of ticket is on offer for the show of your choice.
Currently, ‘Aladdin’ is playing, followed by ‘Beautiful: The Carole King Musical’. Both offer concession priced tickets.
Best regards,
Jess
Does the theatre have a lift to the dress circle?
Hi Sue,
There is no lift at Her Majesty’s Theatre. Theatre patrons with limited mobility wishing to book seats are advised that the Stalls is the most accessible level. Wheelchair access is via the left most doors of the Main Theatre entrance on Exhibition Street or via The Maj Cafe.
The Stalls section is on the lower level of the auditorium, immediately in front of the Stage. There are no steps in the Stalls if enter via Door 3. The floor is on a gradual incline so that each row is higher than the row in front. Patrons with difficulty using stairs are advised to book seats in the Stalls.
The Dress Circle is the middle level of the auditorium. The seating in the Dress Circle is stepped so that each row is raised one or more steps above the row in front. For patrons sitting in the Dress Circle, there is a wide staircase of 26 steps with a gentle gradient to reach Door 4 (front half of the Dress Circle) and another 10 steps to reach Door 5 (back half of the Dress Circle).
The Grand Circle is the top level of the auditorium. The seating in the Grand Circle is stepped so that each row is raised one or more steps above the row in front. For patrons sitting in the Grand Circle, there are a total of 58 steps from the street entrance to the Grand Circle (Door 6).
