Easy to find. I was on row R in the stalls and had a good view and good sound. It did get warm during the show and I was glad to get outside. They have bar that is open before the show and during the interval. read more

This is the Formal theater to see the Musical Tina. A wonderful show revealing the good and bad of her life. The most wonderful and emotional show you can imagine. Our first words were WOW. One intermission, and a near 3 hour show. We already want to see it again. We sat Center In the Dress Circle area. Perfect View. Terrific read more

Fabulous little theatre in London and easily a must stop when traveling. I saw the Tina Turner musical here and it was a 10/10. One of the best musicals I've ever seen. The cast was amazing and the story was really heartfelt, hard to imagine I wasn't seeing Tina and Ike myself. The theater isn't too big and was easy in and out. Nice staff and friendly atmosphere. Not stuck up but you still need to follow the normal etiquette. The venue is small enough to feel intimate if your able to get a seat downstairs, there is we seating all of the way back and it filled up. Everything was standard, access to bathrooms, small selection of drinks and dry snacks. I really enjoyed this venue for a show and will be back! All of my appreciation for this Tina Turner Musical though, such a memorable experience and quality performance. read more

The Aldwych theater is located in the West End in Covent Garden. Built in 1905, it's housed many popular productions. Inside is nice and gives an intimate feeling. The staff is excellent and the seats are comfortable. Picked up some last minute tickets to Tina and was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expecting much, the show totally wowed me from start to finish. Kristen Love sang her heart out and was unbelievable. She channels Tina Turner to a T! read more

We just saw Tina Turner the musical! Absolutely outstanding the amount of talent that went through this performance tonight was unforgettable. The story was what everybody knows to be of Tina Turner. But the way they put it all together it was seamless the set design was genius. The costumes were so amazing. And again the talent... so much talent tonight in all of these performers. Bravo! Bravo! read more

This is a great Theather clean an beautiful inside. We had drinks before the show and in the show intermediate. Restrooms get busy but line goes fast. Only concern was that I was seated in-front of a very tall person and it was rather uncomfortable moving left and right to be able to see the show. Luckily I was seated in the 4th row and decided to just enjoy the show. read more

Gorgeous theater! Just saw the Tina Turner musical here and was impressed by everything. They handled the long entrance line well, the ticketing counter was very helpful, and the restroom was clean. We sat at the 2nd level left when facing the stage and had a great view of everything. Then I walked inside and thought, "Does every theater here look this beautiful?" It's worth a visit! read more

I suppose that this is a combo review of the theater and the show that we LOVED there - Tina Turner the Musical. The location of the Aldwych right in the West End is perfect and surrounded by other great theaters and ample restaurants and pubs. We spent the night at the Waldorf literately right next door making it a perfect London visit. We chose front row seat - and since the stage itself is a little lower than most theaters we essentially had the best seats in the house. The show was phenomenal, basically the star of the show sings maybe 90% of the songs and she was phenomenal. Probably the only person who could have outperformed her was Tina herself maybe 30 years ago Hurry and see it! Great!! Review #4 2019 read more

A wonderful venue to see Tina, The Musical. No need to review the musical, just read every ones reviews of an absolutely breath taking show. The theatre too is awe inspiring with its architecture. It always surprises me that, from the outside, it's a small theatre, but once inside it opens up. His is the case of most of Londons wonderful theatres. Prior to visiting for the show I ordered drinks online. On arrival my order was delivered made ready and given to me. I thought I had ordered a double vodka but was given a single. I decided to leave it and check my order later. I'm not one to make a fuss. Picking up my drinks at intermission, again pre-ordered, my vodka seemed quite large. Obviously the staff had realised a mistake had been made and there was a triple vodka. For that I thank you. A wonderful matinee visit. Although seeing that show, I was really 'knackered (UK East End language for extremely tired). Still wondering where those guys and gals on stage get their energy from. read more

HOLY JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH!! The Tina musical blew me away!!! Dang that girl can SAAAANG!!!!! Great storyline, absolutely flawless stage and set transitions, phenomenal acting alongside the amazing vocals from the entire cast! A MUST SEE WHILE YOURE IN LONDON!!! read more

Finishing my two weeks vacation, back in London to enjoy the theatre experience in London, cutting short my time with granddaughter to take in a show and enjoy one last day in London. Saw Tina, the musical...absolutely amazing! Special shout out to the actress playing Tina as a child...SO talented!!! Tina, the musical did not disappoint! Miranda and the manager of the Aldwych theater did!!! The theater requested to refrain from talking , singing etc. during the show. Of course...definitely obliged! However, during the finale the actress, Tina, gives everybody permission to stand up and join in to sing and celebrate the amazing production; immediately came Miranda telling us to sit down. Not the people in front of us; only us! She was more concerned of the people behind us which she stated their view was blocked. Well what about mine?? I did sit down, my view was blocked and the vibe of the evening had definitely shifted! Missed the last 10 min of the show. So disappointed!!!! Asked to speak to the manager who just seemed bothered to have to talk with a patron; his demeanor was further insult that truly the Aldwych Theatre did not really care about our experience. A true disappointment to our theatre experience in London. read more

To be honest, I have forgotten most of the theatre due fabulous Tina Turner the musical. Adrienne Warren was not great as Tina, she was Tina. I have only seen What Love Go To Do With It one time. That is because of the violence depicted. This play doesn't cut corners. Ike's brutality is on full display. However that is not her story. Her story is of survival and success. One of coming out stronger than life says you should be. The musical numbers were so go. Tina's portrayer gave as much as Tina did. The mini-concert at the end was fabulous The only down side was during curtain call when the actor who played Ike came out there were "boos". I'm sure he know it was for his character and not him. The theatre staff was nice and helpful. When in London you must see. read more

This place was large but cozy. The sound system was excellent and the ushers were so kind in making sure we got to our proper seats.

The Tina turner musical was amazing. I love the intimacy of the theatre. I had never been to a show in London. Above expectations for sure. One of the best shows I've seen in while. read more

Aldwych Theatre - Outside look - Performing Arts Near Me - London, XGL

Seriously?! You're seriously two staring an amazingly old and beautiful theatre because you went to see Dirty Dancing and it was too much like the film? Oh my god - shame on you! I saw Cool Hand Luke here. It was cheesy and surprisingly good but the theatre itself was amazing. It's proper old school with a great stage and attentive staff. Tickets start from £10 which is an absolute steal. It's also warm. I know this seems like a weird thing to note, but the amount of times I've sat in a drafty old theatre and been freezing is far to often. I'd really recommend seeing something here. It's great for a night out and in a wonderful location. Ignore these bozos. read more

Loved this theater size, location, viewing quality, and atmosphere. We saw Tina and it was amazing. We purchased our tickets from TKTS that day for 62 pounds each and they were very good seats. Typical London theater there are no bad seats. The bar up top was well stocked and staffed. Quick turn around and large number of bathrooms. We would love to attend another show in this theater. read more

I'm going to give this place three stars because the theater is nice enough. I don't like how they stuff all the people in the stalls area in the bar before they actually open the theater doors. They shouldn't let people in if they're just going to stuff us in a small bar. Anyway, in this theater, even the front row has good views since the seats don't actually sit lower than the stage. Also, this theater is good for the intimate shows. If this review were for the show (Dirty Dancing), I'd give it 2 stars but I'll try not to blame the theater for the not-so-good show currently playing. Anyway, the theater is nice enough and the staff is pretty helpful. The restrooms, on the other hand, are small and really old and musty. Ok, I can't resist....this doesn't have anything to do with my rating for the theater, but just in case you're here to see reviews for Dirty Dancing - I'd skip it. I love Dirty Dancing but this show wouldn't make any sense to anyone who doesn't know the movie very well. The choreography is excellent so if you like dancing, you won't get disappointed. The acting wasn't bad, but the person who played Baby was overacting. The singing wasn't bad.....but then again, it also wasn't good. read more

Great theater to see a show. Nice upstairs drink area. Views are good with legroom okay. Only one set of bathrooms.

There's a bit of a rustic charm about this theatre. We came here to see Beautiful over the holidays (the Carole King musical!) and the show was really wonderful! We were in the balcony, and omg there were a lot of stairs to get up there!! I feel like there should be a warning about that! Particularly as we had to go down from the first floor bar to then go all the way up to the top. Once we got to the balcony and got our seats, I was totally jazzed - despite being high up, the stepped seating meant we could see everything perfectly! I was glad there wasn't someone in front of me, as the steepness of the seats means I may have booted them in the head accidentally if there were... The drinks are, of course, fairly expensive and not super fancy, but they did transfer our interval order to the balcony bar which was really nice. The show was wonderful, and super fun, and I had a great time at the theatre! It's not as fancy as some of the others in the area, but it has its own charms. read more

Beautiful theater. Great staff. I was there to see Tina Tuner musical. It was an spectacular show.

This is a great theatre! Obviously these reviews depend on the show you have seen. The theatre itself is on the edge of covent garden so you are not standing in traffic to get it in. The staff were very friendly and let me leave a ticket for a friend at the box office. I sat in basically the back row, but it was still a great view and as it was not full was able to move down. My ticket was only £15. As for the show, I saw Beautiful, the Carole King musical. As a fan of her music I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to someone who does not like traditional Broadway sounding songs, though I do like those. Honestly, I never have had a bad London theatre experience unless I didn't care for the show! read more

Wonderful staff, stage, and ambiance. But two big problems: 1. Seat space is terrible. Airplanes have twice as much leg room. 2. Bathrooms resemble cattle cars, its better to leave the theater and find another business close by with restrooms. read more

Ok this is going to sound weird but I am giving this place two stars because of how bad it was not how good. I went to see Dirty Dancing, and it was one more time a confirmation why you should never ever try to touch the classic. They pretty much recited the whole movie, even every character looked like the one in the movie, so that of course makes you want to compare, but the problem was there was no chemistry! The movie was so good becuase everything seemed natural, the musical? Well they tried to copy every move so it seemed very akward and forced. Funny thing those british actors actually were trying to speak american english. I actually was laughing the whole time, just because I couldn't believe how bad it was, and how could someone even make that show! Ok three things that were worth it: the singers who sang the songs were amazing, there was one! joke in the beginning that was clever (and didn't come from a movie), and that random couple in front of our row that seemed to be enjoying every minute of it. I paid 15 pounds for it and i would not pay a penny more, we were sitting in the last row, and a theatre should be always judged how well they think about everyone, well they didn't. The last row wasn't even sloped enough. read more

The seats we had weren't the best we couldn't see the side of the stage, the Aldwych is a smaller theatre, but high up be careful buying seats cos you could end up in the rafters! Dirty Dancing was the first play I saw coming to London, and it sticks exactly to the movie. The same songs, the same storyline, the same magical summer romance. And the play was even more spectacular with the scenes moving continuously. The dancers were brilliant as were the singers. read more

I saw Tina here in December 4, 2018. The play itself was great, lasting around three hours (with intermission). From a sound standpoint, you will hear everything. From a view standpoint, there hardly a bad seat in the house (just for reference, we were on the top level). However, I warn that the seats are small and there is minimal space between the seats for leg extension. You definitely need the intermission to stand up and stretch. Also, you will be snug next to your seat mate. Because of the age of the theater, of course space is a premium, this the upward devotion and lack of space. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but just keep in mind space when you attend. read more

This is a good small theatre, that has all the top shows. It has good effects on the stage that makes it seem more real. It is cheaper if you go during tne week and not weekends. read more

We went to see Dirty Dancing this weekend at the Aldwych Theatre. It is a lovely theatre, quite cosy but beautifully ornate and well situated in the West end. We had the cheap seats at the very top back of the Theatre, and though we were high up we could still see the play. We bought drinks before the performance to take in with us which was great, and then again in the intermission. A lovely theatre and I would recommend it to anyone. read more

We weren't seated in the best area of the theatre but nevertheless, had a great time and seats were comfortable. This is a nice & decent old theatre with friendly staff and great atmospehere. Most of the play/musicals there have been a great entertainment overall. read more

Lovely theatre!! Really nice bar on the first floor. I saw Dance 'Till Dawn which was amazing - it wasn't what I expected, but pleasantly surprised. There was comedy, singing (specular singing at that!), great acting and of course dancing. Highly recommend seeing this before it goes. Absolutely brilliant!! read more

What a fantastic way of starting 2016! 'Beautiful' was a really beautiful musical. The Aldwych Theatre is a nice theatre in the West End. That day I was sitting in the Upper Circle, so I couldn't see the whole building, but what I saw was fine. Helpful staff (even the 1st of January, where we were all hungover) and good view from the first row of the Upper. read more

Lovely theatre! We saw "Beautiful" and this was certainly the appropriate location! We had great seats in the stalls and the staff were helpful and courteous! Still taken aback by the availability to rent opera glasses in London theatres... Such a great idea! Enjoyed the rustic charm of this theatre! read more

I saw Dirty Dancing here in the Stalls and I thought this theatre was lovely. It's beautiful inside and a great location. There is a Snack bar right next door that has the most amazing Jacket Potatoes and Melts. Stop by! I can't say much for the balcony seats or the dress circle but the stalls were great. The view was great and the seats comfy. I would definitely see another show here agian. read more

We went here last week (02.11.2007) to see Dirty Dancing and it was amazing although we were in seat that were one row from last and right at the top the view was perfect. The staff were friendly and the whole place really got into the spirit of the show. I would recomend watching anything here as there isn't a bad seat, the leg room was great and the bar was really reasonable which was a great suprise in a London Theatre. read more

This was my first London show when I booked tickets for Dirty Dancing to tak my wife on a day away from the kids as we took full advantage of the in-laws recent move to the capital. At the time of booking the only tickets left were on the last row at the very back of the theatre. However I shouldn't have been concerned because the view was amazing. Although we couldn't make out the actors faces/expressions it was a spectacular and very enjoyable even though Dirty Dancing could be classed as a 'girly' film. The only thing we missed was the actual band at the top of the stage. The most impressive scene was the log dance and the water jump where the effects were realistic. read more

this is an amazing thetare it was small but very welcoming with an oldy worldy feeling that makes you feel like you have gone back in time. it feels very grand when you looki around. The drinks are quite expensive but worth buying as you are allowed to take them into the theatre with you to watch the show. the staff are very pleasent! read more

Friendly and helpful staff welcomed us to the theatre. The seats are tight with very little leg room.

It's a lovely old theatre. We went to see Dirty Dancing, and would go again tomorrow. We had a box on the side at the right of the stage, they did say we might have restricted views, but it was fine, we had great views and great seats. We found all the staff really helpful and friendly. Even the ice cream at half time was only £2.10, it's more than that in most theatres. It was a really enjoyable experience, and I hope to do it again soon. I would reccomend it to anyone. read more
