    Beautiful theatre at the heart of West End in London. The seats are comfortable (we were at the stalls) and the sound system is pretty good. We saw Time Travellers Wife musical, it was fantastic! The performance and singing were 👏. The staging was engaging, loads of changing the setting and costumes. Definitely recommend it.

    Magic goes wrong was brilliant, especially the mind mangler. I laughed so much, it's definitely worth going to see the magic come alive and go completely wrong. Also, the Apollo has a stair lift for disabled customers. This was a great help for my mother in law who was on crutches, the staff were very helpful in showing her where to go. There is also a bar beneath the theater in which you can purchase drinks. A bottle of Fanta was about £3. The theatre itself is stunning.

    Beautiful small theatre. Visited Apollo to watch '2:22 A Ghost Story' with my daughter and our friend. A play that I highly recommend to everyone. It was lovely to see 'Stewart' Ricky Champ from EastEnders on the stage and playing a different character. Everyone's acting was spot on and a great play that keeps you on your toes, right to the end. We all had a lovely Saturday afternoon out. 😊

    Good view from row Q, the Stalls. Bottle of red was £27. Another lovely London theatre, beautiful, can't fault the place, really nice venue! Entry and bag check staff were great. Service was fantastic at the bar. Went to see Magic Goes Wrong, it's not for everyone but it was great for a bit of a laugh! If youve liked all their other productions in the "... Goes Wrong" series, you'll like this one too!

    Brilliant venue in the heart of party-land London...old British style. Great acoustics and superb sound system. Has a bar of course for intermission drinks, snacks and ice-cream. You can make a full evening of it by dining out pre-performance and then attending the show as there's a lot of nearby eateries to chose from (all within a short walking distance). Or do it the other way around. Enjoyable!

    Went to watch Jamie musical. Staff had to bag check but did this quickly and efficiently so not much of a queue. Clean toilets, and easy to exit at the end of the night. Seating in these old theatres is always tight for legroom so can't be helped. Was a full house so all seats taken

    It's an ok theatre, there's a few around but it all depends what's on and what is there to see. It's not worth it in the cheap seats so you end up paying alot so make sure it is worth it. Inside is nice but like most can do with an update. The food is the same, over priced icecream.

    One of the most beautiful theatres in London. We saw Magic Goes Wrong. If you like a pantomime, you'll love it, if not it's watchable.

    Beautiful theatre, great show but could have better facilities bar with somewhere to sit, toilet facilities are limited lots of queuing. Seating is also snug. Enjoyed the show a lot however.

    Recently watched the Time Traveller’s Wife. We had such a great experience in Apollo Theater. Staff were super nice, they have good popcorn in the bar and accessible cloak room. Seats were comfortable and as seen in the video, the stage was very visible. Would be nice to have more restrooms though!

    This is my first time to watch a musical in London. The actors' costumes and soundtracks are very good, and the audience is also enthusiastic. This play is also inspiring, because of the epidemic, and the musical also has a performance part that follows current events.

    I went and saw The Tiime Traveler's Wife. The performance was well done. I felt so many different emotions. This is definitely a must-see. I left with sadness and a grin on my face. ♥️♥️

  • 4/5 Stella Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Very pretty theatre with a little bar area. The bathrooms were very small so get queuing early! We were in the front row of the grand circle and the lighting rail was in the way of the view. However the performance was fantastic and we had a lovely matinee show!

  • 5/5 Lulu van v. 5 months ago on Google
    Really enjoy going to this theatre. Have been here a few times. Even sitting all the way at the top is okay but would enjoy it better further down.

  • 4/5 Tracey C. 4 months ago on Google
    Beautiful theatre! 1st time visiting to watch The Time Travellers Wife The Musical! Brilliant must see show by the way! Regal feel to it, but don't all London westend theatres do! Sat in stalls, row g! Backrest on seats in the middle seem to be broken. Theatre a lot more smaller than others we've been to but doesn't hamper the experience

  • 5/5 Dave R. 7 months ago on Google
    Fantastic performance by the cast of 2:22 Ghost Story. This was enhanced by the relative intimacy of the theatre itself. The decor was perfect. The bar areas were welcoming and the staff were helpful. Usual West End prices which didn't seem to stop people spending not only on the tickets but the fizz as well. All in all a great experience.

    One of the activities I did for my birthday was watching Time Travellers Wife, the theatre was small but pretty decent and clean. Staff are very nice as well. This view is Grand Circle F Well if you are still undecided if you’ll book the time travellers wife, highly recommend it to watch as it has beautiful story

    Saw 2:22 here sitting in front row centre of the upper dress circle. Wonderful view. No obstructions. Leg room is minimal and you start to ache by intermission, but a small grumble. Clean toilets. Reasonably priced selection of drinks. Overall lovely experience in this old theatre.

  • 4/5 Chris -. 5 months ago on Google
    A nice old style theatre, our view was good but high up, and leg room was average. Only two toilets for the whole section so there was a long queue at the interval

    One of the best musical shows. Don't have to expect things a lot just go with the flow and enjoy the plot. Very feel good one and the crew are so amazing +talented

    We went to watch 'The time traveller's wife's which was a phenomenal play. I personally would recommend considering I don't class myself as overtly romantic however I took my wife here as a birthday gift as I felt she'd enjoy it. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed it. Apollo theatre is situated in the theatre district of the West end. Really easy to get to. Circa 5 mins walk from Picaddilly circus station. Facilities are as you'd expect from a west end mid sized venue. Oh! 2 weeks on we still have the reusable bottles of water we bought from the bar! Kudos

    Theaters beautiful and if you get to see a show here, all seats are in viewing. Open since 1901 the theatre has some of the most beautiful architecture. Beautiful moldings and a magnificent ceiling. Came here to see Tome Travelers Wife. IMO… if you haven’t been to the theater…. Wait for the next show.

    Went to see Derren Brown Showman Jan 23. Entrance to the theatre was easy, just a short queue, cloakroom available next to the gents near the downstairs bar for £1 per item. Theatre itself is beautiful very ornate. Was sat in second row of dress circle, view was excellent. Would recommend second row as leg room in compromised in front row. Huge queue even for men's toilets in the interval. They have only one toilet, recommend going toilet somewhere else before coming or before the show starts. Derren Brown himself was amazing, not the first time I've seen him, and he continues to entertain and wow. Don't want to spoil anything, but it's a great show if you enjoyed his TV shows or specials. Thoroughly recommend.

    A few of us are thoroughly entertained by Gabriel Byrne's telling his life story in his own witty, unique and sometimes sad way. The Apollo Theatre is always a pleasure to go too. Beautiful place.

  • 3/5 Daniel E. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice theatre, but with limited view if you’re right at the top or in the upper section. The bar was also limited in choice and queuing area. Also have climb lots of stairs with no lifts. The play we saw was brilliant though.

  • 4/5 Becky T. 2 years ago on Google
    We saw the Magic Goes Wrong play here a couple weeks ago. Generally the theatre was nice - pretty interior, decently comfortable seats, typical bar, and clean (though dated) toilets.

  • 5/5 Tina P. 2 years ago on Google
    Got some tickets from letsallgo.co.uk. This show magic goes wrong had the audience laughing from start to finish.. Seating was quite comfy art work around theatre was spectacular... Worth the visit

  • 5/5 Viv M. 2 years ago on Google
    First visit and went to see one of the last performances of Magic goes wrong. Beautiful old theatre. Good view from most seats. Clean facilities and lovely, helpful staff.

  • 4/5 Kay 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful old London theatre, but with leg room to sit comfortably (although I'm 5 5"). Toilets were clean. Delightful evening

  • 5/5 James K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice theatre. We got very good seats in the back rows of the stall but still in the very centre. We could see all the action happening. Jamie was fun but a bit of a downer. I expected more of a happy upbeat uplifting story, but the play was super melodramatic and feel slow at times

  • 5/5 Chloe S. 2 years ago on Google
    If you haven't seen Everybody's Talking About Jamie, book it! I've seen it twice and it was amazing both times! Theatre staff were lovely too!
