I think the the rich people sat up in the top of the melodrama theatre where the view would be the best.
Many of the more affluent or influential people would have a private box.
There were four different places to sit. The wealthy could sit right on stage.
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.
Be rich and important.
They sat at the front when the rich people sat at the back... *@*

They payed 5 pounds which was pretty expensive at those times
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!
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.
The rich people sat at the top floor :P
