Hi! Welcome to my seating guide for the Spice Girls Tribute show, “Spice Wannabe.” I went with my friend in February, and we had a great time.
But it could’ve been better if we sat in a different location with more room to dance!
So today, I’ll share my suggestions for the best seats – depending on the experience you’re after. And I’ll even show you photos I took of the stage views from every section.
I hope this guide will help you decide where you really really wanna sit! (Sorry, I just had to.) 🙂
About The Spice Wannabe Theater
The Wannabe Theater seats up to 411 people. Almost all the seating is chairs, but a few booths are near the bar at the back of the room.
Everyone will have access to a table, too. But, most tables are at an angle to the stage, while the seats face forward.
This setup makes watching the show a bit awkward, as you’ll sit front to back. And depending on your location, you could have quite a few heads in your way.
That said, the main stage is about five feet higher than the crowd. There are also many opportunities to stand up and dance, giving you an even better sightline.
Additionally, the cast spends a lot of time on the second stage in the middle of the room.
So, for the best experience possible, I recommend choosing a seat close to both stages – but not too close. You’ll see why below!
Seating Chart
Spice Wannabe offers four price points for tickets: Category A, B, C, and D.
Category A costs the most, while D is the least expensive.
Ticket rates are based on how close you are to the two stages. In some instances, the viewing angle is also a factor.
Here’s a map I made showing the different seating locations:
Choosing Your Wannabe Tickets
What’s great about the Spice Wannabe Las Vegas show is that you get to pick your table and seat number.
You’ll also need to decide whether to sit across from each other or next to each other.
For groups of two, I recommend sitting next to each other as it’s much easier to dance and talk together during the show.
But for larger groups, it’s better to be across from each other rather than all in one straight line.
Pictures: See The Stage Views
If you’re unsure where to sit, I hope the following photos will help!
I got to the theater early and took some pictures from each category. These should give you a good idea of what the stage views are like for the money.
Category A
- Price: $$$$
- Tables: 2-6
Category A tickets are the closest you can get to the front and center stages. As such, these seats cost the most.
The following photo shows the line of sight from TBL 3. I’m standing behind chair 12 here:
The next picture is the view from my seat during the performance. I sat at TBL 5 in chair 12, also a Cat A ticket:
Category B
- Price: $$$
- Tables: 1, 7-18
- Booths: 1-6
Most Category B seating is in the second row behind A. These tables are not elevated. However, all of the booths in this section are up about a foot off the floor.
In my opinion, the majority of seats in the B section offer a great view.
For instance, here’s a picture showing the sightline to both stages from the back of TBL 10:
And this photo is the sightline from chair 5 at TBL 18, a Category B:
Here’s another Cat B picture I took from TBL 8, chair number 10:
Category C
- Price: $$
- Tables: 20-30
Category C is on the second level of the theater, which is a few feet above the main level.
The good thing about sitting here is that you’ll be able to see over people sitting in A and B.
But most of the seating in this section is off to the sides and further from the action.
This photo shows the line of sight from TBL 24 at chair number 7:
There are two tables in section C, though, that offer more of a straight-on view. These are numbers 25 & 26, and they’re in the middle of the theater near the bar.
Here’s what the seating looks like at 26. As you can see, this table is very long:
Category D
All D seating is at small circular tables with space for only two guests.
This section is behind Category C on the right and left sides, in the back of the venue.
Tickets here are the most budget-friendly but are the furthest from the performers.
The following photo shows the view standing in front of circle TBL 10 on the left side of the theater:
Best Seats For The Spice Girls Tribute
My recommendations for the best places to sit at Spice Wannabe depend on the experience you’re after.
For instance, some guests may want to dance the entire time, while others may want to sit back and enjoy the show.
So, to make choosing a location easier, I’ve categorized my suggestions based on different preferences.
Best Spots for Dancing
I saw a lot of people standing up and dancing in the category B seats.
Specifically, the dance parties were happening at table 1 (it has a lot of room on the right side) and at tables 8-14.
Fewer people were standing at the category A tables.
I sat there, and since we didn’t want to block anyone’s view, we stayed seated. (I also felt self-conscious about dancing with so many people behind us.)
So, I actually think the best tables for dancing are not in the front. Instead, I’d get tickets in the B section.
That way, you’ll still feel like you’re in the action but won’t have rows of people behind you.
One caveat: I’d avoid table 11 because sitting there feels tight.
Seats Closest To The Performers
Because there are two stages, and they’re used almost equally, you may want to consider your proximity to both when choosing a location.
So, for guests that want to be in the middle of the action and SUPER close to the performers, these are the locations for you:
Category A seats closest to the main stage:
- Chairs 1 & 2 at tables 3, 4, and 5
Category A tickets closest to the center stage:
- Chairs 11 & 12 at tables 3 & 5; Chairs 9 & 10 at table 4
Section B seats closest to the center stage:
- 1 & 2 at table 10
- Chairs 3 & 4 at 11 (they don’t sell 1 & 2)
- 1 & 2 at table 12
The following photo shows the view from my chair at TBL 5, chair 12. Look how close this is to the Spice Boys dance crew on the center stage:
Most Comfortable
The booths are the most comfortable option in the theater.
With padded seats and a slight elevation off the ground, I like these for parties of two.
You’ll be a tad farther away from the action here, though. But these are a great option if you just want to watch the Spice Girls tribute concert and don’t feel like dancing.
I recommend reserving seat numbers 2 and 3 because 1 and 4 will have you facing sideways.
Also, if you don’t buy out the entire booth, you may have strangers sharing your space. And the seating is tight in the booths with four people!
Where Not To Sit At This Las Vegas Show
In my opinion, category D seats are too far away from the party, as they are in the far corners of the room.
However, if you like the price point of D, I’d sit at 19 or 31 rather than at the circle tables 1-11. You’ll be closer that way and not so much in the shadows.
I would also advise against getting tickets at TBL 26 in section C.
And that’s because I didn’t find the chairs to be all that comfortable. They’re low to the ground, and the backrests are awkwardly tilted.
Additionally, 26 is close to the bar, which may be distracting when watching the production.

My Final Thoughts
I bought the highest-priced ticket option, thinking they’d be the best seats. But I didn’t like my location as much as I thought I would.
Although we were about two feet from the performers on the middle stage, we had to turn around to watch them, which wasn’t ideal.
I also thought we’d have room to dance at the end of our table, but we couldn’t stand there either.
And that’s because the Spice Wannabe cast would often leap from the center stage onto tables 3, 4, and 5. (They were so close when they jumped I didn’t want to risk standing up!)
So, next time, I think I’ll get category B instead. That way, I’ll have a forward-facing view of both stages. And not feel like I’m in the spotlight if I want to dance.
Overall, I enjoyed the show, but being able to let loose makes it even more fun. So I’d choose a spot where you feel comfortable doing that!
