Lovely theatre and a fantastic production!
The Noel Coward remains one of our favourite theatres in the West End - relatively small, comfortable and lovely front of house staff. Seats towards the front/sides of the dress circle provide excellent sight lines (the steep curve of the balcony places you remarkably close to the stage) and are relatively modestly priced.

We’d seen Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway a couple of months earlier and were underwhelmed following the crazy hype (sadly we didn’t see Ben Platt) but the UK production has put right that wrong and is stunning. I was crying within fifteen minutes of the show starting and pretty much kept it up for the rest of the running time!

Sam Tutty is a fantastic, fragile, funny Evan, and, for us, the production works much better on the smaller, more intimate Noel Coward stage than it does in New York.

Take tissues!

An outstanding musical!
Dear Evan Hansen is outstanding, one of the best musicals I've seen in a long time! The story is heartbreaking and thought provoking, I was crying on and off throughout the show. It's relatable, modern and very true of events happening today. The music is amazing, the actors are outstanding, I could go on with the praise for this musical! I would encourage everyone to go and see it, I would love to see it again!

Dear Evan Hansen was incredible
Couples
Never have I felt such powerful emotions in a theatre show, tears of sadness, joy and laughter. The actors were all great and the small cast made it an intimate affair.
The staff at the theatre made it an exceptional experience, asking you about the show and if you are excited.
Programmes are very well priced at £4.30
You definitely need to see this show!!

Dear Evan Hansen-worth seeing but don’t pay for top priced seats!
Family
My daughter and I went to see Dear Evan Hansen, had this review been based on the show it would have been given 5 stars. The show was excellent, the cast was small but they were all fabulous. The theatre is small in comparison to some but had a good atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. The bar area was well stocked and reasonably priced. There was hand sanitiser and staff encouraged everyone towear masks but social distancing was impossible as the seats are very close together, staircase were busy and toilet facilities are extremely small. My biggest gripe is paogood money for seats in row J-10 rows from the front so technically should have been a perfect view-it wasn’t. Unfortunately we were sat behind 2 men who were both over 6foot-we are only 5’4”/5’5”. We didn’t see the whole stage. At half time we asked if we could move to empty seats which would have cost less than half the price, and staff were very obliging. I would recommend this show but I wouldn’t pay high prices for seats.

Robert “the supervisor”
Solo
Guys please educate your team on what a “safe” return to the theatre looks like...despite and expensive stall ticket just by me saying I had a Covid jab got me through to another line...no proof required. More shockingly I asked Robert the supervisor if I could move to an edge seat having had only one jab and being like a sardine in my seat. Despite empty seating he did NOTHING to accommodate kept saying people might join late what even half way through the second half of the show? A really shocking experience that I intend to log formally anyway. The performance of 222 was awesome sadly someone like Robert impacts enjoyment myself and other clients were astonished when he said my name is “supervisor” that is my name. Seriously please get your act together if you want to make this a success. Front of house are so important!

Dear Evan Hansen - Please stay in character and show some respect for the audience.
Outraged. Attended DEAR EVAN HANSEN on Tuesday (17th December). I do not expect to pay substantial amounts on tickets to see a group of immature actors trying not to laugh during a key emotional part of the play. Leading man Sam Tutty showed utter disrespect for the audience who were paying his salary, his fellow actors and the authors and creators of the play. In attending theatre for some 30 years, I have never seen such a disgrace on the professional stage. What is worse, is I have now spoken to other people who saw the show on December 3 and experienced the same type of thing thing. In fairness, the show itself is great, I have previously seen it in New York, but a new London Evan would make it much better. Should be ashamed of himself.
The theatre is beautiful. One of London's finest. Stunningly maintained, and great acoustics.

Theatre was well organised and fully stocked in the bar and merchandise.
As an older theatre it was small and seats slightly uncomfortable but this was expected as I have never been to a theatre where they were comfortable. We were on the middle row of the royal circle and I believe from wherever you sat you would’ve had a great view! No need to pay for top tier tickets.
Dear Evan Hansen was a 10/10 definitely recommend, all the cast were amazing!! I laughed, I cried and I left wanting to see it again.

Not professional staff
Every seat was booked. There was no space, no empty seats. Toilets tiny for the amount of people. I was in row G. About an hour into the show, the staff let a couple of people in late. Their seats was the row behind me right in the middle of the row, meaning everyone had to stand up to let them get to their seats while the show was going on. The man behind me went to sit back down and spilt his glass of wine all down the back of me onto the seat I was sitting on. It was awful.

I bought my son's fiance tickets for this afternoon's performance of Dear Evan Hanson.
When they arrived at the theatre they were told the performance was cancelled. No advance notice at all! Absolutely disgusted as they live in Manchester and had to travel down and also pay for accommodation

Fantastic!
What an amazing show! What a beautiful theatre! This is our first time visiting the Noel Coward Theatre and it was a pleasure. It felt smaller in scale than many we have visited but it had a nice intimate feel. The show was spectacular, my daughter informing me that we were watching the understudy in the lead role, but that young man is a tremendous talent, he had my heart in my mouth the whole time. What a rollercoaster of emotions - I had read the book before and actually the character antagonised me, but the raw feelings of emotions and anxiety which were brought to life through the character of Evan and his guilt ridden mother were spectacular. A great show, a super theatre (maybe not for the six foot chap sat next to me with his very long legs!), a must see!
