It was a tour not to forget.. Highlights were both Alex and Nicola being dressed up in the laundry with some very fetching lace underwear and the entertainment show which was spellbounding. The show, which we got front row seats (or rather front row lying space on a mattress) was captivating... It consisted of two ladies; one who tied the other girl, with such precision in various positions.. It was like a lesson in acrobatics, the positions that was created with rope were incredible! A total combination of sexy and gymnastics.. Wow! Drinks wise, I tried the pink panther, which was a Ceekay strawberry alcohol concotion, which was ever bit as dreamy as it sounds. Yum! I also had some prosecco which I paid for with a gold coin, that so reminded me of the chocolate coins you get a Christmas! This place is definitely an experience and so if you're looking for a night out with interesting characters and themed rooms with a twist, this is your place!

I kept questioning to myself will this be anything like torture gardens which I've not experienced as yet or will this be a hype to nothing. Rest assured it was an entertaining and fun experience with many characters popping out at you telling you a story or an experience. Look out for the washroom and be ready to try some lingerie on odd places of your body. The book room you're questioned about your knowledge on philosophy, with many philosophers mentioned, but you end up reciting some Geordie philosophy. Ushered by Jackie, who is fun, quirky and darn right eccentric, takes you into a room where much erotic acts are happening. I won't spoil the surprise by telling you anymore. The drinks were good and a chip will get you a drink in the main bar area, but if you're after the pink panther drink where guys are playing instruments, then you'll have to pay up. Once checked in the motel you're then in the dance room to have a quick dance and to socialise. I very much enjoyed the moves from the lady in the skates and had a quick boogie with the stuffed bear. Lastly, the show was fun, with ropes and lots elevating moves and poses. Sorry ladies there are no men performing. Save yourself a bob and don't get the bagels... Too expensive for what they are and leave no lasting impression. Stay around for a dance, a few more drinks or try swinging in a drunken state on the rope. Lots of fun guaranteed and bring cash!

I was really puzzled by how they got the car to flip all the way around. Some of the songs are still stuck in my head. I even sing them right before going to bed. I'm so glad I saw this show. It felt like a gift wrapped up in a bow.

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.

Any fact that £5 for one seat we got a 33% discount. On this particular visit to London in February of 2020 these balcony seats were the furthest back of any of the 5 plays we saw. Being from the USA I'd have to say this production had a pretty thick English accent with the players. Few things with difficult to hear... Compounded by Art rather distant view point made this a sort of mediocre theater experience. If you go I'd recommend that you must get better seats. I found it rather humorous that in our section behind each seat and effectively in front of you where a great number binoculars for rent hung right there if you insert one or two pounds coin. I would have considered renting them except the binoculars look to be of horribly poor quality. I'm sure the Matilda production is much better then how we experienced it. I'm posting 4 stars as a courtesy. When the pandemic blows over I'd like to return to London and maybe see this play again but with much better seats.

Came here to see Matilda…read more Most seats offer a good view of the stager, except perhaps the upper part of the dress circle. At that point you are pretty much just looking at the top of actors' heads. The theatre is very dated, but the seats are surprisingly comfortable. One of my friends is 6'1 and she was able to seat on her seat and put her bag and coat in front of her. They do not have a coat room, which I thought was a shame. The less you bring into the theatre, the more comfortable you'll be in your seat. There's very few stalls in the restroom so I suggest either going before the show starts or afterwards, otherwise you might not be able to get through the line at intermission. I was impressed by how fast the line at the concession bar moved.

In this case, the show aged well, and the props and costumes have clearly had time and money invested as this was the best rendition of Phantom I've seen to date. There was fire, light effects, great structures and hidden trapdoors, fake balconies, even a mysterious Houdini chair (no spoilers) and the production of Phantom here is clearly worth the full house it had tonight. Standing ovation at the end and tons of fun souvenirs to takeaway memories of the show. I sat in A21, center of the front row of balcony, and the view was perfect, showing just the bottom of the stage up. If I leaned forward, I could see into the pit which the ground floor seats could not. All the music was played by the incredible orchestra in the pit, Four private boxes at the front sides were filled with two persons each, which could be a fun return trip. I hope to definitely be back for another viewing some day. Incredible!

We had a fantastic visit to His Majesty's Theatre to attend "Phantom of the Opera". His Majesty's…read moreTheatre is a historic West End theatre located at 57 Haymarket, London SW1Y 4QL, best known as the long-time home of the musical The Phantom of the Opera. The theatre's name changes with the gender of the reigning monarch, reverting to His Majesty's Theatre in May 2023 following the accession of King Charles III. The history of His Majesty's Theatre has a rich tale spanning over 300 years and four different buildings on the same Haymarket site in London's West End. It is one of the few theatres whose name changes with the gender of the reigning British monarch. First Theatre (1705-1789): Opened as the Queen's Theatre in April 1705 by architect and playwright John Vanbrugh during the reign of Queen Anne. Due to licensing laws, it quickly became an opera house, and George Frideric Handel premiered over 25 of his operas there. Upon the accession of George I in 1714, it was renamed the King's Theatre. This building was destroyed by a fire in 1789. Second Theatre (1791-1867): A new, larger theatre, also known as the King's Theatre, opened in 1791. It hosted London premieres of operas by Mozart and Beethoven, and in the mid-19th century became renowned for romantic ballet, with famous ballerinas performing the works of Jules Perrot. When Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837, it was renamed Her Majesty's Italian Opera House (later just Her Majesty's Theatre). This building also fell victim to fire in 1867. Third Theatre (1868-1896): A third structure was built within the shell of the old one in 1868. After remaining dark for several years due to a rent dispute, it was used for a period by a Christian revivalist movement before returning to theatrical use, hosting the first complete English performance of Wagner's Ring cycle and appearances by Sarah Bernhardt. It was eventually demolished in 1892 as it had become technically outmoded. Fourth (Current) Theatre (1897-present): The current French Renaissance-style building was commissioned by actor-manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and opened on April 28, 1897, as Her Majesty's Theatre. Tree produced spectacular Shakespearean plays and literary adaptations and even established the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in an apartment he built for himself in the theatre's dome. The current theatre is very well organized. The audience was very respectful during the show and did not seem overly crowded. However, you should be aware the restroom facilities are very small (remember, it's an old building) so plan accordingly! We both look forward to to going back when we return to London!

Buying tickets was easy on the site and once there, the staff is probably the friendliest bunch for show. The best thing about Sondheim is that you can pre-order your drink for pick up for intermission!

We didn't spend a lot of time in the theater…read morebefore or after our show, but we enjoyed the extra Totoro decorations, like the exterior wrapping of the building, the abundance of soot sprites hanging above the escalators, the umbrella photo ops inside, and the murals outside. We had no trouble finding our seats, which were located pretty centrally in the middle of the theater. The seats are staggered so even our daughter had a good view. There were free boosters for kids, which was welcome, especially since this is a child-friendly show. It was centrally located in the West End so we had a pub meal immediately before and explored the Covent Garden and Chinatown neighborhoods after.

The overall experience of My Neighbor Totoro was really more of a 3.7 but the actors, most…read moreespecially Victoria Chen as Mei and Ami Okumura Jones as Satsuki, were utterly amazing. The character acting was flawless and an absolute masterclass. My main complaints were with the building, which was extremely hard to navigate with limited signage, and the fact it's an ages 4+ requirement and they let in numerous children who clearly were 1-3 years old. The children were so young there were complaints related to their chattering and an attendant had to come out and talk with our section. Would I recommend this over the other shows we've seen in London (The Mousetrap and Hamilton)? No. It's a fun little jaunt, but much less magical than expected. There were numerous backstage gaps in the set which felt jarring and you could clearly see the lace front for almost all wigs used in the production. And sadly, the view from the aisle ends is fairly poor - generally the production is not a good fit for the theater. All in all, it's closing January 2027 so if you're a Studio Ghibli fan, you'll likely enjoy it, but I would make sure to get center stalls or as close to center as you can to get the full effect.

I was so excited to be there for one of the previews of 'Other Desert Cities' and curious as to how that would work with the theatre having just been reconfigured to 'in the round'. It actually worked very well, and while we in the upper level, I can imagine it would be particularly interesting to be in the seats that were vitrually part of the set. I think I spied Melvin Bragg Down there. Who-ever it was he seemed to enjoy the show as much as us. OK perhaps it wasn't what I would call must-see theatre but it had a little something for everyone, and despite its dark nature in places, we had plenty of knowing belly laughs too. Since press night its been garnering a solid four stars. Perhaps because the show was in preview we were able to bag reasonably priced tickets at the box office direct. The staff were very friendly and helpful when we popped in the day before to check on availability. If there was a down-side it was that the seats were uncomfortable and the leg room very cramped, and thats coming from someone who is just 5ft & 2 inches! My companion had another foot on me and found the cramped seating a distraction from the show. Perhaps the more expensive seats are more comfortable. Wish everywhere had seats as cosy and roomy as The National Theatre! Conveniently located just along the road from Waterloo station for tube, rail and taxis.
