We visited the London Colosseum to see the Nutcracker by the English national ballet. The production was brilliant very quick security checks, though they were good and thorough. We got coffees and… Full review by 248leahr

I believe you would have a great view. We sat in the upper circle and moved about a bit (not many people up there at our performance) and everywhere we had a good view of the stage.
What is the view from tbe grand circle slips like?

The Coliseum doesn't have a Grand Circle, just a Dress and an Upper Circle so I am not sure where you mean. A lot of the show is also projected onto large screens on both sides, and from the front row of the balcony (seats A37 and A38) we could see everything (if we leaned forward sometimes) but I wouldn't want to be further to the side. There is a site you can check (called "seatplan") which shows the view from all seats.
20 members of a community choir went to see Chess last night, the show was excellent. BEWARE though = my friend bought a small g& t and a small wine and was charged £17.50, upstairs I bought the same drinks for the interval and was charged £11.50. 5 other members of our group had 5 small glasses of wine and was charged £40. What is going on here? Is it a scam to con the tourists? Where is this extra money going?

These prices are excessive. I'm not sure it is a con unless the price lists show the published price to be different or the staff lied to you, but it does demonstrate the excessive costs of …
These prices are excessive. I'm not sure it is a con unless the price lists show the published price to be different or the staff lied to you, but it does demonstrate the excessive costs of drinks in theatres and it is unfair. Had you bought both of your drink orders downstairs, you would have paid significantly more for your drinks than we paid for the two tickets for both my wife and I to see the performance. As with Enfield Peter, we tend to have a drink before we go. The timings of evening West End shows tend to be such that a nice meal with a bottle of wine can often be fitted in and costs about the same for a couple as two pairs of drinks at the theatre. The total cost for both of us to see Chess, have a pasta meal, bottle of wine and dessert at Bella Italia came in at just under £100, which is as it should be for a night out.
