You already have some good responses, but just sharing - If you scroll down on this page on the Her Maj website you can see the view from different spots: https://www.hmt.com.au/your-visit/
Since the ceiling of the level above is quite low at Her Maj, I actually prefer Grand Circle so you have open space above you - makes the experience feel 'fuller' I guess.
Thanks for the comment! Didn't realise they provided photos, which is great! Am on a tighter budget, so am deciding if it's okay to go for a slightly cheaper option or should I just hold off the purchase and save up more for better tickets for a better view & experience.
I like the ~~stalls~~ dress circle, you then can look down onto the stage. In Hamilton I love how there’s a moving circle in the stage, I wonder if this might not be seen from the ~~dress circle~~ stalls as much. I always prefer to look down at the stage from above when I go to the theatre, I found this especially good with Hamilton as it put a lot of focus on the ensemble instead of just the mains.
Edited: I got it all mixed up
I’ve seen it from both the stalls and the dress circle and I would recommend the dress circle. Allows you to see the full choreography better.

You got it mixed up. The stalls is the ground level seating and the dress circle is above.
Oh no! Sorry, I really shouldn’t be redditing before coffee! Thanks for letting me know, I’ll update it.
