I saw Love's Labours Lost at the Sam Wanamaker Theater. Unlike the other larger theater, this candlelit indoor space has no standing room and only seating. The only downside is that pillars obstruct your view unless you are sitting in front of the stage (don't bother paying extra for gallery seats with an "unobstructed view," the pillars are everywhere). I would recommend coming to a relaxed showing, because in this setting you're allowed to verbally react to the action on the stage (laugh, gasp, etc.). The actors even interact with the audience, hiding among them or even handing them props! I had a tremendous time at the Globe watching the worlds most talented Shakespearean actors and I recommend it to everyone who visits London.
