Always find top shows, opera to comedy and every thing in between. Good wheelchair access, and facilities. The theater itself is a work of art, fully restored to its Victorian glory. This has been one of many visits, I will always come to the shows which appeal to me.

A great theatre, well maintained, beautifully clean ( unlike most London theatres) and staffed by a friendly team of staff. Took 70 children to watch Horrible Histories, also superb.
