    Very lovely theatre. I've been there twice to see Dear Evan Hansen and trust me, this musical is most beautiful thing I've ever seen. The story is well written, the comedians' performance is outstanding and the songs are beautiful. I think a lot of people, especially teenagers can identify with the characters easily. I seriously consider going there one last time even though it means travelling abroad for me. You must see it before it's too late, you won't regret it. This show matters. Hats off to Sam Tutty and the whole cast of Dear Evan Hansen, the best musical ever !

    My friend & I watched “Dear Evan Hansen” We sat at Royal Circle Row G 21 & G 22, great seat & worth the price that we bought during London Theatre Week. We can clearly see the whole stage and expression on the actor’s face well. The seat itself is small but the legroom is okay. Dear Evan Hansen is beautiful touching musical. Highly recommended! Beautiful theatre, in London’s theatre district easily reach by tube, train and bus. Our seats are easy to reach women toilet, so we don’t have queue up.

    The theater is relatively small, but maintained v well. The staff is friendly and efficient. I got tickets for stalls row H at the very left from the box office just a few minutes before the show; the view was pretty good without any obstacles. ------ 01.10.2022 Watched the Dear Evan Hansen musical and it was wonderful. Well-written story and good performance by the actors and actresses. You might be able to predict how the story ends half way through it, but still highly recommend it.

    Tight seats and small leg space. But efficient and friendly staff with a clean environment. Went to watch Dear Evan Hansen, a very nice musical! My seat was in stalls Row L, great view for the price I bought.

    Wonderful old style theatre, staff were friendly and efficient. Seats were good value in the stalls with an excellent view, comfortable with more leg room than most other theatres. We saw Dear Evan Hansen, it was both funny and heartwarming with strong performances throughout. They also have air conditioning where we sat which was a bonus!

    Lovely theatre. Saw a great show. Motive and the cue. Fascinating, extraordinary. The two main characters, Gielgud and Burton were quite brilliant. Mesmerising portrayal of a play with a play. Simple scene design made dazzling by use of curtains and lighting..great effect. You will need to see this play to see for yourself!!

    Amazing theatre with a very impressive stage and plays. I’m the breaks there is a lot of chaos and little room with big lines infront of everything

    Very tight seats compared to nearby theaters. Otherwise I enjoyed the beautiful production of Ocean at the End of the Lane staged there.

    A beautiful theatre with amazing sculptures and plasterwork to admire from your seats. The different seating areas are all small and comfy, and there are various bars, although these do get busy at the interval, so pre-order if you can. The Grand Circle seating offers a great view of the stage and tickets are reasonably priced for London. Loads of character. Very well connected in the heart of the West End.

    Beautiful venue and comfy seats (although they look too low at first). We saw the Great British bake off and it was very entertaining. Excellent humour and singing ! We also saw Patriots, excellent play, liked the emotion, humour and staging. Acting was spot on. Its excellent production 👏 Engaging and provocative way to represent 90s Russia.

    I saw “The Ocean at the end of the Lane” last night. I went into the show with absolutely no context (my sister read the book and asked me to join). I am an avid theatre connoisseur and the quality of the show was top notch. The reason I am writing this review though is to talk about the amazing staff and theatre manager. The show was intense, frightening, and had a lot of trigger warnings - during intermission I decided to exit the show and wait for it to finish in the lobby. The staff was so caring, attentive and kind towards me. I went from feeling embarrassed that a show was too scary for me to feeling so happy I left due to the amount of fun I had talking to all the staff members. I highly recommend this theater and its staff. If you like scary and thrilling, I recommend the show!

    Went to see 2:22, which was very entertaining and highly recommended, but the experience was let down by the covid safety measures. We were asked if we had been double vaccinated but no proof of vaccination was asked for, and the theatre was almost completely full with probably only about 10% of the audience wearing facemasks. Given you're in a confined space for 2 hours with little air circulation, and vaccination doesn't stop people carrying the virus, it definitely felt risky, and it's made me think twice about going to the theatre again unless there are stricter protocols in place.

    Absolutely brilliant! A wonderful old theatre full of character and friendly, pleasant and helpful staff. I cannot fault the experience. We saw "Dear Evan Hanson". What a fabulous show, amazing cast and terrific sets and staging.

    Watched Dear Evan Hansen last week. Wonderful show and the musical theatre is relatively small, the stage design is simple and locating the band on the top of stage. The seating is no very tight and quite comfortable even I am seated at the right corner of central circle, which consider as a cheaper ticket. I just need to lean a bit then I can have a nice view for the whole stage. No view obstacle and nice musical effect for a whole show.

    I saw the play Patriots and really recommend it. The theatre is huge with four seating layers. I had a seat with an obstructed view (for 10£) and still could see everything clearly. Moreover, the play hasn't started on time, which was a good thing because of the latecomers that otherwise would disturb the performance.

    A great west end theatre. We were situated in the Royal Circle A1 and A2. Great value sits with excellent legroom. Staff were really friendly We were in our seats within 5 min of arriving and most importantly we were out of the venue 5 mins from the play ending! Would recommend pre-ordering any drinks you want at the intermission. Great atmosphere and is accessible to all. Saw seats from £10 (standing) £24 sitting.

    Saw Ocean at the End of the Lane. The theatre is elegant, and has nicely spaced bars and toilet facilities, so it doesn’t feel like a scrum getting a drink at the interval. View of the stage is excellent from the stalls or the balcony. Lots of nice spots nearby to grab a bite or drink before or after.

    Beautiful little theatre, lovely staff Sat up in the balcony so the view wasn't perfect but for the price I was very happy. I could hear the actors perfectly and the show (The Motive and the Cue) was fantastic. Would definitely go to again but maybe try the stalls next time

    Great place .very good location. I sat at the back of the stalls row t. good view of the stage.ladies loo close by. The bar was lovely and I didn't have a wait. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I saw the ocean at the end of the lane and it was very entertaining .

    Staff in the ticket office, cloakroom, front of house, young and courteous. Respectful and attentive. They facilitated a lady with her husband and her wheelchair. Provided me with an infrared hearing loop. If you were at the back of stalls you have to hold it up a little to connect but no problem. Loved Ocean at the End of the Lane. Would consider this theatre again though. Thank you for a lovely experience.

    Historic theatre with lots of charm but the seats / legroom is very tight. I was sitting next to friends so it was fine but you’re definitely elbow to elbow, and if you’re very tall I recommend a seat by the aisle. As tight if not tighter than economy airline seating. Pre order drinks and collection from bar very easy. Also easy to get to from Charing Cross Station.

    Seen 2:22 and it's one of the best theaters in London! Superb atmosphere and crew. Toilet facilities are well kept. Happy to go back to watching West End shows again!

  • 5/5 Hannah W. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Janet S. 2 years ago on Google
    Really enjoyed the drama 2:22 a ghost story fantastic. The seats were comfy. There was a bit of a scramble for prepaid drinks but got there in the end. Covid checks very good and staff brilliant.

  • 5/5 Stephan Lendi (Sprecher & M. 2 years ago on Google
    A prefect venue. I saw the 2:22 play there with excellent set design, inspiring acting and a truly scary plot!

  • 4/5 Mark T. 2 years ago on Google
    The theatres covid check was just asking people if they were double jabbed. The entry was very efficient straight to our seats without waiting around for ages . The performance started on time TIP for some reason the seats behind stalls row G are more expensive, there is absolutely no reason for this. Row G is the perfect distance to the stage and there is no difference in the seats behind except distance from the stage.

    Went for Dear Evan Hansen the musical. The show was amazing! The theatre is along St Martins lane, just off Licester Square tube station. The building is divided into 3 staging floors: the stall, dress circle and grand circle. Our ticket is on the grand circle (the cheapest one with the most restricted view says on it😉) but not restricted at all if you lean forward. In fact it was the most spectacular view of the entire theatre building ❤️ It has a bar area as well with affordable price for a theatre. Staff accommodating directing you to where your seats are. Toilet facilities available. Only issue is the tightness of space: 1) have to stand up everytime and let people pass to sit/out of their allocated seats, 2) between your knee and the back of the chair in front of you when sitting down especially if you are tall. Other than that a good experience and amazing musical theatre. Recommended. Will be back soon.

    I've never been there before and we went to see 2:22 that in itself was magnificent and the theatre was absolutely wonderful! Very good organisation and the staff were friendly! They were asking for vaccination status and also had a pre order for any drinks and snacks which made you feel comfortable and safe. To say this industry didn't have any funding was a joke because what it provide in an experience is truly magical! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • 4/5 Julie F. 2 years ago on Google
    Tight seats and spaces but had a good view from where I was on the balcony, wouldn't want to be higher. Watched Dear Evan Hansen and it was fantastic, a very thought-provoking and moving story with a great cast. 5 stars for the play!

  • 5/5 Stephen T. 1 year ago on Google
    We went to see Dear Evan Hansen on 19th May 2022, and it was a terrific experience in this theatre. It has an intimate feel and the view of the stage from seats Royal Circle Row F, seat 15 was excellent. The welcome from staff was friendly and there was a short queue for drinks at the bar during the interval. The theatre was beautiful and has great sound and lighting. The show itself was fantastic, I’d highly recommend it to anyone but especially families with young adult children.
