ADVICE
So, just say one was intending on going to see La Cage aux Folles, even quite possibly looking into booking tickets... What is the difference between stalls, dress and upper, and which would you recommend?
And any tips on who to book through to get the best deal?
And any other West End tips you feel like sharing, really.

Typically, a theatre will be divided into tiers based on proximity to the stage. The stalls are the tier on par with the stage, the dress circle (or royal circle in some theatres) the tier above that, and the upper circle is the top-most tier. Prices will vary accordingly, though in most theatres the difference in price between stall tickets and dress circle tickets will be negligible. Boxes can be fun if you're going in a large group, though to make the price worth it, you'd have to go in a group of over four people. The main drawback of the boxes is that they're situated on either side of the stage, so you get a skewed view of the stage.
My own personal choice would be to sit in the stalls; most often, the dress circle and stalls prices will be the same, and I like to be as close to the stage as possible, and as centred as possible within the row. My recommendation would be rows B to D in the stalls, with seat numbers between 7 and 12: so, looking at the seating plan for the Playhouse again (http://www.londontheatre.co.uk/londontheatre/westendvenues/playhouse.htm), seats 11-14 in rows E and N are also good choices.
