A question for the theatre go'ers regarding seats.

I'm booking tickets for five of us to go down to London to see Hairspray, at the Shaftesbury..but i'm totally confused by the seats, which in your opinions are better?
To me the stalls seems okay, and are close to the stage too. Maybe I'm wrong though.
Basically, HELP

Central stalls would be great. That`s where we sit, admittedly in local theatre not the big theatres so maybe they are different? Higher stages etc?

This site is great for explanations/recommendations for seating in most of the major theatres:

Thanks everyone, have booked now
