As of March 2024, Back to the Future the Musical is playing, and it does not disappoint. It's everything you would expect, and more- with great music, excellent acting, and a beautiful theatre. The show is long at 2hrs 40 mins including an intermission, and you can get discounted tickets at todaytix.com
I saw Back to the Future the Musical, and I was absolutely blown away! Not only was the show amazing, but the venue was awesome too! The lobby was decorated to immerse you in the story as soon as you step inside. There was a bar, gift shop, and toilets available on each of the three levels of the theatre. My seat was in row J of the upper circle, and I was informed before the show that it was a partially restricted view. Directly in front of the seat was a safety rail that made it difficult to see the stage for parts of the performance. If you are shorter, I would recommend sitting towards the front of the upper circle.
I landed up here because I discovered that somebody had decided to turn Back to the Future into a stage musical. Well, it didn't take all that much to convince me that I should, well, go and see it, which is basically what I did. The theatre isn't bad, though it is fairly typical of London theatres. Mind you, as far as I'm aware, most people go to the theatre for the play, and not the theatre, so whether it is good or bad is really a moot point. However, it is close to the station, but then again it is central London meaning that pretty much everything is close to a station.
Back to the future, the musical, was an absolute blast. The stage designs and set changes were amazing too. 5 stars, loved it.
My BF took me here for "Back To The Future" musical for my birthday. Our seats were in the Stall section in row V and view of the stage was good. The musical was based on the original movie and it was very enjoyable musical to watch. The stage effects were amazing! Highly recommend to come to watch "Back To The Future" at Adelphi Theatre.
I was hesitated about the show because back to the future is so famous and worried that they would ruin it. But surprisingly the musical is very well done. The stage effect is perfect and the show is very energetic and upbeat. A little problem with the sound system at some group singing part the music is too loud that can't hear the vocal but most of the things are very good. A lot of dancing and singing. Kids friendly. Seats are very comfortable, I'm on the second row and have a great view of the whole stage. Front row seats also gets a treats at the ending but I'm not going to spoil it here
It's a dream come true to see a musical in London. Upon entering the west end, just about anyone will feel that Broadway magic and be tempted to book a show. We came to the Adelphi Theatre to see Waitress and loved every second. The historic theatre is gorgeous and decked out in red velvet seats. They were serving apple pie cocktails (among any other drinks) and mini apple pies in the lobby to gear up for the show. So fun! They even served mini ice creams in the theatre during intermission. The show was such a blast and there was so much talent on the stage. We got our tickets about two weeks ahead of time and were surprised that they were decently priced (and cheaper than nyc). Such a fun night! Crossing that off the bucket list!
Saw The Waitress Musical here at the Adelphi Theatre and had an incredible time. If you've never seen the Waitress and are contemplating about going, DO IT! It was an incredible show and Katharine McPhee is just so damn talented, and not to mention stunningly beautiful. As for the theater itself, it's a nice setup with a great view of the stage from just about any seat. The theater is relatively small but still has enough seating to accommodate a fairly large crowd. There are three different levels and each one has a food concession stand available if you're hungry. The seats aren't the most comfortable and the spaces are a bit tight but it's nothing unbearable. It looks like they've been maintaining the theater well because it was really clean and appeared to be in excellent condition for its' age. The staff attendants are very helpful and they are quick to direct you to your seats. When the show was finished, I was surprised to find that there was a separate exit that led us right to the Covent Garden. Adelphi Theatre is best known for its' production of Kinky Boots. I have yet to see it, but I'm hoping to one day in the future. All in all, Adelphi is a beautiful theatre that puts on a ton of amazing musicals, comedy shows, and plays. You will have a great time watching your performance here.
Saw Kinky Boots here and had seats on the orchestra level. The show was brilliant, funny, and the actors incredible! The sound system was excellent as was the staging! The theater itself doesn't seem have a bad seat as that seats in the orchestra section are staggered so that you aren't directly behind someone making it easy to not have obstructed views from the person in front of you. I also like that they have a ladies room right there in the theatre, so you don't have to go out to lobby. The staff here were excellent from picking up the tickets to being directed to my seat to the ushers being conversational during intermission. Right off the Strand, so it is in the midst of everything and close to a lot of restaurants and bars. Great location and great theatre!
Quaint little theater that provides an intimate experience between the cast and audience. You really can't go wrong with the seating. I came here to watch Waitress the musical and it was hilarious! The performance was really well done and, quite frankly, the American accents made me feel right at home. Problem is, I did feel the urge to grab a pie after the show but I'll save that for another time. The venue was easy to navigate and the staff were very friendly. In fact, the gentleman at the front selling champagne shared the same name as me and we struck up an immediate conversation. Good times all around.
What a great little theatre this is. My sister and I wanted to take in a musical/play of sorts and found Kinky Boots was playing. We had seen a poster as we walked in Edinburgh so it was already on my mind. We were not disappointed. We ordered our tickets online, and had to get into the line that provides hard copy tickets because this place does not have electronic scanning functions apparently. No matter. We found our seats and fully enjoyed the show. There are concession stand treats available, but I do not know who the genius is who thought super crunchy loud chips should be an offering for a play. My sister started half a crunch on one and with a glance from me and others she silently allowed it to soften over time in her mouth to absorb it. Would recommend this theatre for it's quaintness and charm. Pro Tip: Pay attention to the seating availability online. If the circle is half colored there is something wrong with the seat. Thankfully we noticed what that meant and got good seats for what we paid.
Scored a couple of last minute tickets to Kinky Boots. We were Center Dress Circle and had a pretty decent view. Unfortunately these had to be the most uncomfortable seats I had all week. Low to the ground, tight to the seat in front, and narrow. I'm bumping from a three to a four star because the show was good making us forget our lack of comfort.
My friend and I saw Kinky Boots here and enjoyed the performance. As far as the theatre itself, it was a bit cramped. The acoustics were good, however. It's a small venue, so you are very close to the other audience. The people behind us took off their shoes, and the area around us started to smell like malt vinegar with putrid cheese. Nasty! Stinky feet while watching Kinky Boots! Not a good combination. Some of the staff members were also not very pleasant especially one of the girls selling the souvenirs. I was less than amused. Great show though!

We came for the Sunday matinee of Back to the Future. Fresh off our flight from LAX, I never waste anytime fitting in as many shows as possible when in town. We had soooo much fun! This production is outstanding! We saw Back to the Future, Cabaret and Crazy for You this trip. I can't compare the three since all of them are completely different but I highly recommend this show for something fun and casual. You will not be disappointed. This is also a very family friendly show, the kids in the theatre seemed to enjoy it even if they aren't an 80s baby like me :) Very fun time! Can't ever do theatre in London without ice-cream at intermission, it's mandatory for me. This theatre doesn't have vegan options as our Cabaret production did but I'm consistently on mint chip as a little intermission refresher. If you get tix and haven't seen the movie in awhile I think it'd be fun to watch it first. I didn't have a clue about the movie since it's been forever since I've seen it, but still had a blast - so many laughs and so enjoyable. read more
A nice place to see a show! My husband and I came here to see "Back to the Future" and really enjoyed it. The main thing is that there seemed to be plenty of leg room, which is a problem in a lot of Broadway theaters. One interesting note is that there isn't a center aisle. We had seats close to the middle so had to walk past a lot of people/seats to get where we were going, but the seats were great. Getting in and out was very quick and well organized. Kudos to the staff here for having a clean, efficient and fun theater. And I also recommend "Back to the Future"....it's a great show. read more

Such a great theatre, we visited to watch kinky boots on the west end and it was amazing. It's not too big, we sat fairly near the stage and there was no problem with the view at all. It is also very easy to access the stage door behind so you can meet the cast very easily. The show was absolutely brilliant and recommended it to so many fiends read more
A 'cosy' theatre. Stalls and two balconies, one up with Gods. Two bars, one at the entrance and the other to the left of the stage. Great service from all the staff. We were there for Kinky Boots. What a show, must not be missed. read more

Kinky Boots What a show! Matt Henry as Lola was amazing, as well as Killian Donnelly as Charlie. Excellent costumes, music, set design. 2,5 hours of absolute joy! Based on true facts running in London & Northampton. Don't miss the chance to see it! read more
Personally I don't like the decor. The theater is a bit dull. Our view from the middle level was not too bad. The seating is not that smallest I have seen but they are not huge. The sears were not terribly comfortable for a full show. read more

Good night out with friends last night. After the nice meal, we walked to this small theatre near the strand to watch " KINKY BOOTS". The show was spectacular with good actors and actress who really sang well. I was amazed by their great performance, lot of drag queens waving their arse on the stage and telling you the jokes. It is kind of unusual show which reminds me of the priscilla queen of the dessert. Nice views at the upper circle seating area but the chairs is a bit squeezes and tiny. read more
I went to see the bodyguard there...by myself cried my eyes out seating uncomfortably close to strangers lol! Because the Theatre is too small u feel like in a can of sardines but HEY! That's Europe ppl!! There is a cute little pub right by it and other cool restaurants too so location is pretty good so are the people who work there. I got there early and alone and they let me come in earlier from the cold outside and treated me super well (guess it's good to travel alone sometimes hehe!). Now the musical was amazing! Bravo! My fav was the sister of the main character. She had a voice this actress OMG! She should be in the main role for sure! And they play other Whitney Houston hits not in the movie. Beautiful tribute this musical! I cried my eyes out lol! read more
