    I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this theatre! I can't find a single thing not to love about it. The location is just a minute's walk from Leicester Square station, making it incredibly convenient. The bar is welcoming and adds to the overall experience. The theatre itself is small and cosy, and no matter where you sit, you're practically right next to the stage. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house with restricted views. The legroom is also great, providing extra comfort during the show. Speaking of the show, "The Choir of Man" was incredibly enjoyable! I went with my beloved and her 86-year-old mum, and they had an absolute blast. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were only a few unsold seats because this show deserves a full audience every night. I hope it continues running for years to come. While the stage setting may not be overly sophisticated, it more than makes up for it with the talent on display. The singers, dancers, and actors were all incredibly skilled and put on a remarkable performance. The song selection was fantastic, with beautiful harmonization throughout. The show also pays a great homage to the British pub institution. I can't wait to see "The Choir of Man" again. If you have the means to splurge a little for a front-row seat and a chance to be a part of the show, I highly recommend it. It's an experience you'll remember for a lifetime!

    Quaint, compared to other West End theatres, but an enjoyable venue/visit none the less. Because the theatre is quite small, I think you could probably get away with purchasing cheaper seats and still get a good view. Didn’t buy any drinks from the bar, but prices seemed reasonable. All the staff I met were lovely and very helpful. I would definitely visit this theatre again.

    A very intimate venue, doesn’t have the same level of decor most west end venues have. Black walls and floors and the bar space is relatively small but they always put on a good show. The rake of the seats is good in the stalls but the offset could be improved. The staff are always lovely and due to the size of the theatre no matter where you sit you feel connected and close to the stage. Overall a lovely little venue!

    'All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend Down to ride 'til the very end, it's me and my boyfriend....' This classic didn't feature in the show but soon as hear the words Bonnie and Clyde this song does pop into my head. The show was enjoyable, some dramatic moments...oh boy the slap...wait for the slap. You will be cheering, you will see why. The songs were nicely sung and well performed. Like most theatres the seating needs updating it is too cosy, you have to squeeze past people to get to your seat. This leaves the tricky task of not spilling your wine. Sorry to the lady in front me, hopefully she thought it was rain..ooops. Also no holders to put it down. Bar staff were friendly, I would recommend getting the a bit earlier as the queue for drinks was a bit long. Overall a pretty excellent night out for a solo adventure.

    Very nice venue with some unusual seating available : I recommend side benches on the balcony! They are usually cheaper and if you sit there you get a chance to see a bit of "behind the scenes" action on the side of the stage. It does get quite hot in the balcony during the show so it's good to bring a fan.

    The Choir of Man. Absolutely brilliant show. Didn't know what to expect, a bunch of guys acting as if they were in an Irish pub. They are all such talented singers and actors the music was fantastic. The theatre is quite small so you are very close to the action. They even pour some beers and bring it out to the audience along with packets of crisps and beer mats. Would thoroughly recommend.

    Went to the arts theatre to see Choir of Man! Great intimate venue with 2 layers of seating but even the back row is very close to the front (see photo). Fantastic performance, sound, small bar area and venue!

    A small theatre, but that just means the view is good from pretty much anywhere. I saw Six! Which is a fab show! I was in the third row and loved it so much. It is a short show with no interval, but well worth seeing! The cafΓ© bar opens shortly before the show and has a range of drinks and snacks. I had a cocktail that was from the specials board (a Cleve!) and it was lovely. Very close to Leicester Square.

    Love this theatre, intimate and engaging plus a magic atmosphere. The one slight down point are the toilets, also intimate and really not big enough for the number of people at performances, especially the ladies.

    Loved 'SIX'! Loved the friendly vibe from when I bought my ticket in October 2019 til seeing the show on a Tuesday in January 2020. Great venue and marvellous show. Long may the queens reign in this special West End spot!

    Small theatre allowing for a really β€œat-home” immersive vibe. Saw Choir of Man here #ChoirofMan and it was excellent. Perfect venue for such an intimate, high energy show. Highly recommend.

    Fabulous, small, intimate theatre (well, it is supposed to be set in a pub after all!) which provided the perfect setting for The Choir of Man.The cast are amazing, talented singers, dancers musicians and actors. Didn't really know what to expect but left with a big smile on our faces! A terrific, must see, feelgood show.

    This is a lovely intimate venue for theatre and arts productions alike. Although I had a great seat very near the stage, it wouldn't matter where you were as you would not be far away.

  • 5/5 Gary Kristensen M. 11 months ago on Google
    We saw The Choir of Man musical and it was 100% brilliant. Everyone should see this show, it is immersive and joyous. All the staff, security, cast and crew were tremendous. Will definitely see it again. Thanks to you all for a great day out.

    Choir of Man was Suberb!!! A really worthwhile show. A small but cosy theatre with a great cast. Those who stand in the front rows can get free beer :)

    In the bar area there was great music on in the background & is such a nice place to chill while waiting to see a show. Only small but a great variety of drinks whether you want hot or cold including alcohol. Show Oleanna was amazing, a must see!

    Great night watching The Choir of Man. Fab show where you can sing, dance and go on stage if you wish. Very interactive with an excellent cast. Lovely, little theatre. Will watch again if I get a chance.

    Too the kids to see The Queens Knickers as part of Kids Week and enjoyed a great performance here from Talegate Productions! The venue is in a great location and is nice, not too big and thankfully had air con downstairs! We had great seats in row C so had a great view of the stage. The show was really well done with lots of audience participation which the kids loved and some jokes for the grown ups too! The cast made time at the end of the show to come and have pictures taken which was a lovely touch!

    Great theatre (we saw "Six" there) with decent seating throughout. Staff was friendly, show was punctual, getting in and out was fairly easy. Close to the Leicester Square station (and not far from the Covent Garden one too).

    Went to see the fabulous Choir Boys. Outstanding show performed in the perfect theatre. The show had been recommended by a friend and glad we went. Great performance from a hugely talented cast and musicians. Its on until early April and its worth the visit. The theatre is perfectly sized for these type of shows. Intimate but comfortable with a great view.

    Staff were very friendly, the theatre itself was incredible. the slip seats were very good view. We felt part of the show being so close. I would definitely return.

    Saw a production of Bonnie and Clyde. New theatre for me and was impressed with the great intimate atmosphere. Cast were superb and drew a standing ovation at the end of the show. Very highly recommended and I will definitely visit again.

    Six the Musical was a mind blowing experience. Of course the 6 wives are female but so loved the entire cast of musicians made up of females. This is a crisp performance, led by enthusiastic, deeply talented cast and team who put on an award winning show.

    Still in the midst of a pandemic and we were all packed – there wasn't any sign of social distancing. No one was even wearing a mask. Eventually I left with terrible neck pain as the stage is way too high for the first ten rows of seats. Unfortunately, not a good experience at all.
