Comments:

This theatre is not one of the glitzier ones in London but is well-sized and has hosted classic musicals such as Grease, Ghost and Guys and Dolls, as well as the short-lived Viva Forever.

It is extremely well-located in terms of proximity to good shops and restaurants and the prices don’t tend to reach the heights of those at, for instance, the Savoy Theatre.
