Seats
Went on a Friday evening and chose one of the royal boxes. The tickets were cheaper as you have a restricted view but you have lots of space to spread out which is nice. You do lose sight of about a 5th of the stage, and parts of a couple of scenes were missed completely but you got the majority of the show in comfort so would book a box again.
Theatre
The negatives were they ask you to get there an hour early and say the bar is open from 6, but only about 8 seats in the entire bar for dozens of people waiting 45 minutes to get into their seats, if we had known would've arrived later.
Show
Brilliant. Captures the spirit of the film well, the costumes and set are visually stunning and cleverly built, and the actors did a great job. My only criticism would be the sound, a couple of the quieter singers, who did have lovely voices, were drowned out and you couldn't hear the words. A few tweaks on the sound system and it would be perfect.
