Nice little theater. There are a number of seats with viewing issues but ticket sites inform you of this. Great small venue. Comfy seats even in summer not to warm or cold as often going in older venues. Current play was quite good too.

Very old small theater..... not a lot of leg room. Seats are small. 2 floors. During intermission, I saw staffs were selling something in the lobby. Guess what? ICE-CREAM!! And they are in high demand. People waiting in line just to get some ice-cream. They do have concession stand, selling alcohol and snacks. The show is funny. Tickets not too expansive. The theater is in the Piccadilly Circus area. So it is nice to hang out that area for the day... shopping, dinner then show.

Is a cute little theatre built below street level. Only gave four stars due to seating room. The seats were comfy but severely lacking in leg room, am average height but I struggled and if someone in the row wants to get out everyone has to get out. That said you can choose your seats more carefully the stalls and first balcony level had seats in different configurations with ample leg room. That said it's adorable and beautiful. Extremely well designed as you feel you're right next to the stage even at the top row. The Comedy About a bank Robbery is fabulous highly entertaining loads of belly laughs and the cast were amazingly athletic! A great afternoon out.

Five star play. "The Bank Robbery" was very funny. The staff at the theatre were friendly and polite. Despite arriving early, our tickets were ready for us with minimal fuss, thus reducing waiting time for all the customers. I would have preferred a wider range of kiddy friendly snacks/sweets and drinks. Cheaper prices (snacks and drinks). Why should one can of pop cost £3.00? Keep the pricing reasonable and offer a wide range of choices, more people would use theatre bars. I know I would! Also, spruse up the premises a little as it looked a little run down. Perhaps a quick coat of paint all over, and deep clean. Add a small touch of glam to the ambience with chandeliers . All that said, we enjoyed the play, and I recommend the play to anyone!

Saw Comedy About A Bank Robbery. Nice clean theatre, fairly big inside, plenty of space in bar area but a lack of toilets. Friendly staff. Sats in stalls, standard theatre seats that start to get uncomfortable after a couple of hours
