I would like to gift my partner tickets for the CATS musical and I need some general advice.
- Which seats do I get? I would like the balcony seats for the lolz (I imagine myself sitting there with a tux and binoculars) but view and acoustic might be better in the frontal seats. Also the frontal yellow seats (on the bottom) are not available on Saturday, which I would prefer.
- When do you have dinner? Friday performance is at 7.30pm and saturday at 6.30pm and goes for 2h45min incl. a break. Before is too early or straight not possible due to work and after might be too late. Are there snacks during the break?
- Any etiquettes that I should know? You may have noticed by now, but I'm quite new to this environment so any advice is appreciated (dress code etc. although I'm quite sure I don't need a tux for a musical)

The front of the first balcony (or first few rows) is good. You're not going to have to worry about the acoustic. It's all amplified, usually very loud. These days it's not very dressy. People turn up with their backpacks or shopping bags, some people in work clothes, some dressing up.

If you can't eat before you are stuck for choices. Eating first and during the interval is possible at the opera but not so much musicals. There are restaurants that cater to the theatre goers after the show but it's late and you need to get home after that so it can get very late. If you book at a restaurant before the show nearby they will serve you at breakneck speed because they are there for that day in day out.
