    I watched 42nd Street in seat D30 and the view was very good. To get cheap theatre ticket, you can download TodayTix app and make sure to buy the ticket at 10am when the price is dropping

    My first musical and it was really great. We had good places for what we paid. Toilets and snacks on every floor. Bring your own binoculars as the ones there cost 1£

    Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: great sets and costumes and choreography; a true visual spectacle. Performance was great, particularly that of the five children; sadly the songs were uninspired.

    Amazingly restored, this theatre oozes style and comfort. Might need some signs for the restrooms near the rotunda though as I saw one guest after another having to ask staff.

    We booked seats on the balcony for the Wednesday matinee and were upgraded down to the dress circle to fill empty seats!! Great show well worth a visit.

    Beautiful, grand theater with an amazing history. Now showing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which is fun and a feast for the eyes.

    if you're on the balcony, you won't be able to see the very front of the stage, but otherwise 'restricted view' isn't really a big deal - you have to climb A LOT of stairs though!

    Very nice venue although the legroom can be cramped but a beautiful atmosphere. Order your interval drinks before the show starts 👌

    London's oldest theatre, located by Covent Garden. Facilities are really good, and the grand staircase is really beautiful.

    Brilliant - 8 rows back from Stage was perfect placement - every but a musical and every bit spectacular :)

    If you love quality musical theatre, do not see Willy Wonka (a new musical). Go home to watch the original film and save your money!

    If you are too far back then some small parts of the show are obscured by the circle (I was in row Y).

    London’s oldest theatre is in its fourth incarnation. The third burned down in 1809. It is said to be one of the world’s most haunted theatres, so watch out for ‘The Man in Grey’!
