What is circle in a theater?

The "circle" in a theater refers to the seating area that is located above the main floor and below the balcony. It is also sometimes called the "dress circle" or "mezzanine." The circle typically offers a good view of the stage, and the seats are often less expensive than those in the orchestra or balcony.

In some theaters, the circle may be divided into two or more levels, with the upper level being called the "grand circle" or "upper circle." The circle is often considered to be a good option for theatergoers who want a good view of the stage without having to pay the higher prices for seats in the orchestra or balcony.
