Bathroom line gets very long for the bathrooms during intermission & pre-show especially for the ladies’ room so get down there fast! Photo: Fiddler on the Roof

The theatre is a good standard - helpful staff, short distance between audience and cast, enough leg room. Go for 1984. Might be not suitable for epileptics, as there are powerful light effects.

James McAvoy and a team were just stunning in "Cerano de Bergerac". Amazing little theater near Trafalgar square. Note that first three rows in Upper Circle have a limited view (half of a stage).

Smaller inside than you'd expect, so if you're in the stalls you've got a great view of the stage. Very little seating in the bar area

Spamalot is hilarious enjoying every minute of it, would definitely recommend didn't expect anything but really glad I came:)likely enough first row seat right in the middle:)

Nice smaller theater - pretty much any stall seat and most Dress Circle seats are great views.

Decent theater. Seats in the Upper Dress Circle aren't bad. Spamalot is a bit dated as a musical and it doesn't look as good on the small Playhouse stage, but the songs are still a lot of fun.

Latecomers may not be admitted but if they are, it prob won't be for around 15-20 mins into the show. No interval. 101 min long production. Flashing lights so not suitable for those with epilepsy etc

Really steep in the upper circle ! Aside from this, nicely decorated theater. The bar could be better.

Cheap performances midweek. In central Charing Cross, there's no wifi there, but lots of pre theatre dining in the area.

The Lord of the Dance - unbelievable energy, we're so tempted to dance along!

The upper circle is so high and steep that it is scary if you have fear of highs! No room for your legs in that area either.

Red wine is so bad at the bar. Christian Slater is so good on stage

Glengarry Glen Ross is wonderful. Every bit as funny as the film

Incredible 1984 adaptation, very powerful and unexpected. Not for nervous people, though.

Lovely little theatre. Quite warm, especially towards the top.

Got tickets on lastminute.com, second row of upper circle, great view. Spamalot is a show that should not be missed.

Staff was really lovely. You can pay using your credit debit card.

Excellent small theatre. Not much leg room in the upper circle.

Such a fun and bubbly play definitely go and see it before April

Very polite and helpful staff

"The Jungle" is a very moving play, don't expect to leave smiling.
Rus NewtonFebruary 10, 2019
Badly organized queues (one to collect tickets then another to enter theatre) meant no time for pre drink. Upper Circle view is not great and was very hot, plus zero leg room.
