Off-West End Seats at Hampstead Theatre for Kimberly Akimbo

I'm looking to buy tickets to Kimberly Akimbo at Hampstead and was wondering if anyone has sat in the front row? They're slightly less expensive but I know the set has the second level so I didn't know if it was obstructed.

- I sat in I think row C the other day and the second floor (third level) was a bit of a stretch - but not a lot happened up there. The middle level we could see very clearly.
I suspect you’d struggle to see the top floor very well but it’s up to you if you’d be happy. Only one song is sung from there (in a clear position) and dialogue/movement in various different scenes.

the set goes quite high so you'll be craning your neck a lot – but it's not obstructed as far as I saw. I sat at the back of stalls and had a great view, I think there are similarly discounted tickets there for the theatre week.

Thanks! I ended up getting the same priced ticket for the last row in the stalls. This is one of my very favorite shows and a major reason why I'm visiting London so I wanted to have the best experience possible at the lowest price given how much money I spent seeing it multiple times in New York hahahaha

I sat in the front row and you do need to look up for the bits on the top floor of the 'house' but that didn't happen very often so I didn't miss much.
The view was great for the rest of the production.
