I think the the rich people sat up in the top of the melodrama theatre where the view would be the best.
only rich people could afford to sit in the galleries (seats), lords would sit in the balconies behind the stage, poor people would stand in the yard and royalists would sit in the royal box.
There were four different places to sit. The wealthy could sit right on stage.
Yes. It was where all the rich people sat, and the poor people had to stand at the bottom. Although I would have prefered to be at the bottom... a better view!
When people used to go and watch perfomances in the Globe, the wealthy, or as you would say "the posh people" would sit on the seats in the theatre.

They sat at the front when the rich people sat at the back... *@*

Be rich and important.
They payed 5 pounds which was pretty expensive at those times
Queen Elizabeth never set foot in the Globe Theatre, that was for lower class citizens. She dud, however have private plays and performances in her private chambers. Shakespeare performed for her 14 times.
They loved his plays and sonnet and if they were rich enough, they went and saw them although you could get in free but you had to stand or sit on the hard, cold, cdamp floor of the theatre.
Normally a shilling, which back then was worth a lot, so normally only rich/famous people sat there.
I assume you meant the Globe Theatre, England? In which case, the upper seats were probably dearer, and allowed those who could afford the higher cost, to sit above the common people occupying the cheaper seats below.
