On the assumption you plan the current production of Julius Caesar; it is in the round and the groundlings (cheapest) stand in amongst the actors and move around as the scene changes. We were in gallery 1, second row, so not premium seats. The theatre is modern and well designed, the view is fine where ever you sit. I am 6’ 2” so at 5’ 10” you will be fine I had no problem with hearing the actors. However there is a noisy rock band singing and setting the populist crowd scene of the first act. I was heartily glad the hear “ hence home you idle creatures get you home” at the start of the play as it meant the band packed up.
