It is important to remember that Billy Elliot is not a show for children, even those who have seen the film. There is a strict age limit of eight years old, although the theatre do not recommend taking children younger than twelve or thirteen because of the strong language and violent scenes.

Billy Elliot at the Victoria Palace Theatre

The Victoria Palace Theatre auditorium is arranged over three levels: Stalls, Dress Circle and Grand Circle.  As shown in the seating plan below, the Stalls bottleneck towards the front providing good views of the stage, though the last three seats in some rows are slightly sidelined (rows E to C).  The Dress Circle is set high, meaning there are no restricted views at the rear of the Stalls. The Dress Circle offers clear views, except for some slightly sidelined views in the slip seats and the end six seats on the front rows (rows A to C). The Grand Circle is also set high meaning there are no restricted views at the rear of the Dress Circle. Although not reflected in the seating plan, the Grand Circle has a slight curvature meaning that there are some restricted views to seats at the sides. The rear row may seem distant from the stage, but views are very clear (row K). There are six boxes at the Victoria Palace Theatre, these are restricted in view due to being on the side.
