Whichever place to you sit will be just fine. The musical is great and the sound is terrific so I´m sure you'll enjoy it fully. So don´t bother to buy expensive tickets. Everything has been tailored to the tastes of all the audience. Have a nice time!

Sat in balcony, center when the chandelier fell right above me and I almost peed my pants!, and the very back. Balcony seats are the best. OR if you are up for it where the chandelier falls.
But anywhere is fine. It is such an awesome musical. I saw it with Micheal Crawford and Sarah Brightman at the very last tour. It was amazing.

My favourite seats are the first two rows in the dress circle or front stalls, centre if possible. When I booked I was told there are some restricted view seats in the stalls so I ask for some where I could see the chandelier. Assuming you are talking about Her Majesty's in London.

BEST is relative. Are you interested in "Getting it" or spending the evening straining through binoculars and possibly poor acoustics?
It's a show worth seeing multiple times, spend the money and get 4th row Orchestra seats.
Since you don't state the Venue, you won't get many specific answers here that relate. What type of theater/stage/etc?

I saw it twice. Once in the front row and once in the middle center. I'd say middle center is the best about 5-6 rows back because there r some things around the stage that u cant see in the front row.

Saw it many years ago when Sarah Brightman was the principal actress. She was and still is a fantastic soprano. Best seat in my opinion is in the centre of one of the first few rows of the Dress Circle. Enjoy!

That depends on the theater. Try to see a seating chart for that particular one, Many have them online. Often ticket price affects where you sit. Look on the seating chart for a cental seat in your price range. Often the front few rows in a balcony are good,moderately priced seats. Enjoy the play, it is my fav.

Anywhere in the theatre would be great! It is so amazing that I would stand up in the back of the theatre just to see it again!

I saw it in London in it's opening season with Sarah Brightman. We were about 4 rows back dead center and the chandelier scared the heck out of us. Wonderful!

Indeed - anywhere in the stalls or dress circle would be fine - just watch out for the flying chandelier!
