    One of the best musicals I’ve ever seen, especially if you’re a Pop music lover. The cast was amazing. the play itself was colorful and spectacular so prepare yourself to laugh and get excited till you wish the musical will never end. the theater was very crowded, filled to capacity. The bar’s queue was long but moving fast.

    Grand Circle - F35 (perfect view) Went there to see &Juliet. It was extremely fun! A contemporary and modern version of the Shakespeare play with songs of today. Had a great time and honestly would watch it again with friends.

    Inspiring show!! I took my sister for a birthday gift, and we both loved it. The show was funny, uplifting and we both left feeling really happy!!!! It was like 90s pop music was made for this show!!! The show was very diverse which I absolutely loved and appreciated, from race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, and way of life… a true representation of society and my family and peer group which I really connected with!! Thank you for such a great show, we were up and singing by the end!!! All performers were incredible but Juliet absolutely smashed it!!! Well done guys and thank you for an amazing show!!

    I was told to go for a Broadway show while in London so I got tickled for the 3 of us (husband, son and myself). I got the cheaper tickets but the seats were amazing. My husband ended up not being able to attend as he wasn't well but my 18 year old son was surprised he actually loved &Juliet. It was funny, the music was good and the overall play was amazing. This was out first and I am glad I went with &Juliet as it's the best first for us.

    Such a beautiful theatre. You can't recreate this sort of atmosphere outside of historic buildings like the Shaftesbury Theatre. So so beautiful. The show they currently have on, Mrs Doubtfire is absolutely wonderful. True to the movie and so funny.

    A delightful place to visit. Preserving old buildings. Great demonstrations of milling, blacksmiths, baking and more. We were lucky enough to get to peek in the Barn used in BBC Repar Shop.

    Legroom for 6ft + tall people isn't great, so suggest booking the end of Isle seats. However, the Auditorium is intimate & stunning in design & decor. - Wonderful! 👍

The crowd and atmosphere were just amazing. Won't lie I find it difficult to sit still for so long. However!! This was worth it Mrs. Boughtfire Amazing 👏👏👏👏 House full standing ovation ❤️👍

    Lovely theatre. Great show. Over the years I've seen the film enough to know the story very well. There was a part of me that wondered, after Robin Williams iconic performance, if this stage version could really do it justice. Absolutely loved it. I've seen quite a few musicals over recent years. This is right up there. Well worth the visit.

    A wonderful venue to enjoy high quality theatre productions such as Mrs. Doubtfire. Beautiful building, very clean, comfortable seats, fine sound and lighting. But most important, an extremely entertaining play, very well staged, with a marvelous cast and great performances and lovely story. Highly recommended experience!

    Ventured to this theatre to see & Juliet which I’ve wanted to see for a while… it did not disappoint! 😍 this theatre was stunning with pink hues throughout and great architecture framing the stage! The stage really allowed the setting of different locations to be encapsulated perfectly! The bar areas were nice with only a little waiting time. If you can get to this theatre (especially to see & Juliet) I highly recommend ✨ RE the show: I cried a few times; I LOVED the message that love isn’t simple and requires hard work and that you can reset, take it slow and try again 💖 the freedom of love and self acceptance messages intertwined were heart wrenching and very important! We were seated front row - Row B, seats 9 and 10

    Lovely theatre. Loads of toilets!! We sat in the back row of the stalls and it was still a great view. Can recommend &Juliet as a show. Great cast, great music, fun storyline!

    Less known west end show turned to be spectacular 👌🏻Hugely satisfying and highly recommended. Comedy, musical with new adaptation and different course of Shakespeare's masterpiece. Unexpected twists and new born story. Little downside- super restricted leg room but well worth suffering 😅

    &Juliet: Wow!!! Best musical I watched. Brilliant idea at the base of the plot and brilliant twists to the plot as the play goes along. Modern pop music smoothly blends into the story and is SUPERBLY executed! Very energetic dancing provides electrifying atmosphere. If you are in London, simply go.

    Show: &Juliet, Royal Circle, Row H, Seat 15. A pretty perfect view by all accounts. Didn't miss any action in this show at all! This seat enables you to see absolutely everything, helped by the fact that the majority of the show takes place on the stage and any flying is held well below the proscenium arch. The leg room, however, is another story. At 6ft 2ins I struggled with this seat. My right knee was right on the back of the seat in front of me. Meaning I'd have to either sit slightly to the left or wide legged and encroach on the seat to my right. Show-wise: I was a little skeptical of this show, only for how they were going to incorporate all of Max Martin's songs into it. However, I was very pleasantly surprised and absolutely loved it! The story was easy to follow and the characters were played brilliantly! Also, the messages conveyed within the show were perfectly executed and packed the perfect punch needed to get them out to the audience! This is a show to come to if you're feeling a bit rubbish and need a pick-me-up! If nothing else, it'll get you singing Roar at the top of your lungs on the way home! Theatre: Ignoring the constant work boards that are sitting outside the front of the theatre (and have been there a fairly long time it feels like), nothing problematic to report. Courteous and friendly staff made for a pleasant visit. Only issue for me was the leg room at the seat.

    Royal circle L27-28 cheap seats with perfect view as seats are staggered. Best musical I seen so far. Standing ovation at the end. Full of laughs and lots of energy. Explained everything that was going on from a perspective of Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway arguing over what could have been. Lots of twists and turns. Lots of pop music favourites with a sharespearion twist. Live orchestra. Fantastic stage sets. I could watch this again and again and probably will. Bravo!

    We watched the fantastic &Juliet at the Shaftesbury Theatre, and it was amazing! The seats were comfortable (we were sat in the stalls) and we had the perfect view of the stage. If you love a good musical you'll love &Juliet.

    The performance was amazing! If you love the combination of musical and comedy you Should definitely visit The Shaftesbury Theater. Was also very impressed by the choice of drinks, the passion fruit martini was very tasty. In term of the theater, we had tickets at the rate of the upper circle, and while the view was great, there were two issues. First the level of noice was a bit too loud, which was probably because our places was right under the speaker. I literally had to close my ears couple times because how loud it was getting. Another issue was that at our row there was not much space for legs. I did not manage to figure out if it was just our row or all the upper circle has narrow seats in general.

    Picturesque place and interior that you can enjoy while observing the musical show. I attended Romeo&Juliet that took my attention during the whole show time. Musicals is modern and colourful, one of the best I have ever been to. Both singing and dancing are incredibly professional 🎭

    An amazing theatre! Absolutely stunning. A bar on every floor as well so service during intermission is quick. Highly recommend Mrs Doubtfire, but you'll be impressed with the theatre no matter what you see. Even in the nosebleeds section!

    One of the best shows I have seen! It's absolutely incredible, so funny and the cast/crew are so unbelievably talented. 12/10 would recommend- everyone must see this!

    We have just had an amazing evening at the Shaftesbury Theatre seeing a production of Mrs Doubtfire. What an amazing show!!! The actors/actresses/performers/dancers/singers were incredible. Such amazing talent throughout and a clever way of presenting a well loved story in a live format.

    Bought cheap tickets to see a show during our few days in London. We went to see Mrs Doubtfire. An amazing show with lots of laughs. Theatre is beautiful even though we were in the gods got a bit of vertigo... it was a long way down & oh so many steps up & down lol 😆 😅

    This show is really amazing ,all actresses were doing their characters in a wonderful ❤️ way. Yes, the same film for Robert Williams, but on the theater is completely different 👌 😀. I really recommend this show to everyone who wants fun, joy, and laughter. Thanks a lot to all who worked there and let us enjoy this 😊 😀 ☺️.

    Went to see Mrs Doubtfire. Staff were helpful and polite and the show was enjoyable. The build itself was lovely, well maintained and the historical designs had been maintained. There were separate bars and toilets for each layer of seating and the atmosphere / environment was comfortable. Limited leg room for the taller person but this wasn’t too much of a problem. We would go back to another production at this theatre.

    A great theatre, we watched Mrs doubtfire. Toilets felt modern compared to some theatres, queues weren't too bad. We were sitting on the front row of the golden circle (highest floor) and the seats had been listed as restricted - but it really wasn't too bad. As adults we could see over the bar and the kids leaned forward looking under it. The legroom wasn't as limited as we expected (I'm 6'1) but I recommend getting an aisle seat so you can pop your bags / coats to the side if you sit there.
