    Beautiful venue! If you go early you can get some pretty cheap tickets. Every seat in the house is a great seat! Staff is very polite and welcoming. Good selection of food and drinks. And location was convenient to transportation.

    Came here to see the play The Devil Wears Prada! Such a cute theater! It really reminded me of a theater off the show The Gilded Age or something of that era. It's older but it has alot of character! The play was so amazing beyond words to be honest. Great singing, great dancing, just all around great fun! Only thing I didn't like which didn't even make me take a star away so obviously not that big of a deal.... The show I originally booked got canceled unfortunately the show is the whole reason we were coming to London in the first place. Once I emailed someone who worked in management they were able to rebook us and put us in their company seats. They were 3 rows literally from the front stage... the downside was I was there to see the devil wears Prada so of course shoes, bags, outfits are all very important! I'm short so unfortunately I couldn't see the shoes on the actresses. Ugh it was so frustrating I just wanted to stand up and see the whole time! Anyways all in all I would definitely come back to see a show here and I would recommend everyone who can go see the Devil Wears Prada musical!!

    Great experience! Went to see Devil Wears Prada, great show and great atmosphere. We did accidentally break a glass and got a very dirty look from the man behind the counter, but that didn't kill our mood

    Some of the tasty treats they have

    Not only is a historic place and a perfect activity while on holiday. I am a fashion major and this movie was such a major impact in my life so I had to go and to see the amazing cast they put on a wonderful show. The snacks were awesome and overall the stuff is pretty nice.

    When going to London and you are a fan of live performances, you must go see a show on the West End. We ended up at the Dominion Theatre, because 1) we loved the movie 'Devil Wears Prada', 2) I am a big fan of Vanessa Williams, and 3) we are a fan of Elton John, and 4) Shaun Taub did the lyrics and I am a fan of 'Suffs the Musical'. But this review is about the theatre, not the show. The theatre is so well maintained considering it's age and historical nature. The options for snacks were varied and great. Locations of facilities were easy to get to. Even options for merch was great!

    went an hour early before the next showing of "the devil wears prada" and was able to get a great seat for only £47! the girl working was so sweet and helpful, same with the security guards. the staff was very attentive and professional, and the theatre is centrally located.

    For many years, the Dominion Theatre, located diagonally from Tottenham Court Station, hosted the wildly successful Queen musical "We Will Rock You" - and now, it's running another jukebox musical, "Bat out of Hell" - which I recommend wholeheartedly to any fan of "operatic" rock. The venue itself is among the less attractive in central London, and its relative grubbiness is only exacerbated by an ugly building site just in front of it - which makes smoking/vaping during the interval a less than pleasant endeavour. But it's one of the larger venues, with more modern technical facilities than some - and thus perfect for a rock opera like "Bat out of Hell". I saw the show once before, last year when it had a limited run at the more prestigious English National Opera house.

    Set up for American in Paris!

    Superb location, dazzling show, and elegant venue! I bought a single "restricted view" seat the day before I went to see "An American in Paris". I was worried about the restricted view, but it was in the second row. The restricted view just meant that I couldn't see all the footwork in the dancing, but I could see all the body movement. No problem for me, but others may want to know that! The venue was quite large but they had a lot of bathrooms which made intermission less of a pain. They also had quite a few bars and even sold Hagan Daas ice cream during the intermission. The theater is away from the bustle of the other theaters, but it's directly outside the Tottenham Court tube stop! I'd highly recommend "An American in Paris" to anyone!

    When I told a friend of mine that I was going to London, she told me not to miss out on seeing a show. I couldn't figure out why I would go see a show when I can see a show at home, but chose this one to go to. It's not something I've ever seen advertised in the states so I thought it would be perfect. And I was right! It was a story set in the future to the music of the band Queen. All I can say is that I'm so glad I took my friend's advice! We had second row seats in the aisle which were perfect. The seats were larger than normal theater seats and comfortable! The show was just a mix of energetic music, great singing, great acting, and lots of fun! We left feeling exhilarated!! When in London, make sure you do not miss out on We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatre!

    This is such a big theatre but the seats are comfy and the view all the way back in row ZZ of the stalls is still alright! Not sure about up in the gods. Great location in on the corner of Tottenham Court Road but further away from the rest of the West End. At the moment Elf is showing and the stage production is awesome. Story has the feel good factor and is perfect for Xmas!

In this case, the show aged well, and the props and costumes have clearly had time and money invested as this was the best rendition of Phantom I've seen to date. There was fire, light effects, great structures and hidden trapdoors, fake balconies, even a mysterious Houdini chair (no spoilers) and the production of Phantom here is clearly worth the full house it had tonight. Standing ovation at the end and tons of fun souvenirs to takeaway memories of the show. I sat in A21, center of the front row of balcony, and the view was perfect, showing just the bottom of the stage up. If I leaned forward, I could see into the pit which the ground floor seats could not. All the music was played by the incredible orchestra in the pit, Four private boxes at the front sides were filled with two persons each, which could be a fun return trip. I hope to definitely be back for another viewing some day. Incredible!

His Majesty's…read moreTheatre is a historic West End theatre located at 57 Haymarket, London SW1Y 4QL, best known as the long-time home of the musical The Phantom of the Opera. The theatre's name changes with the gender of the reigning monarch, reverting to His Majesty's Theatre in May 2023 following the accession of King Charles III. The history of His Majesty's Theatre has a rich tale spanning over 300 years and four different buildings on the same Haymarket site in London's West End. It is one of the few theatres whose name changes with the gender of the reigning British monarch. First Theatre (1705-1789): Opened as the Queen's Theatre in April 1705 by architect and playwright John Vanbrugh during the reign of Queen Anne. Due to licensing laws, it quickly became an opera house, and George Frideric Handel premiered over 25 of his operas there. Upon the accession of George I in 1714, it was renamed the King's Theatre. This building was destroyed by a fire in 1789. Second Theatre (1791-1867): A new, larger theatre, also known as the King's Theatre, opened in 1791. It hosted London premieres of operas by Mozart and Beethoven, and in the mid-19th century became renowned for romantic ballet, with famous ballerinas performing the works of Jules Perrot. When Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837, it was renamed Her Majesty's Italian Opera House (later just Her Majesty's Theatre). This building also fell victim to fire in 1867. Third Theatre (1868-1896): A third structure was built within the shell of the old one in 1868. After remaining dark for several years due to a rent dispute, it was used for a period by a Christian revivalist movement before returning to theatrical use, hosting the first complete English performance of Wagner's Ring cycle and appearances by Sarah Bernhardt. It was eventually demolished in 1892 as it had become technically outmoded. Fourth (Current) Theatre (1897-present): The current French Renaissance-style building was commissioned by actor-manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and opened on April 28, 1897, as Her Majesty's Theatre. Tree produced spectacular Shakespearean plays and literary adaptations and even established the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in an apartment he built for himself in the theatre's dome. The current theatre is very well organized. The audience was very respectful during the show and did not seem overly crowded. However, you should be aware the restroom facilities are very small (remember, it's an old building) so plan accordingly! We both look forward to to going back when we return to London!

I was so excited to be there for one of the previews of 'Other Desert Cities' and curious as to how that would work with the theatre having just been reconfigured to 'in the round'. It actually worked very well, and while we in the upper level, I can imagine it would be particularly interesting to be in the seats that were vitrually part of the set. I think I spied Melvin Bragg Down there. Who-ever it was he seemed to enjoy the show as much as us. OK perhaps it wasn't what I would call must-see theatre but it had a little something for everyone, and despite its dark nature in places, we had plenty of knowing belly laughs too. Since press night its been garnering a solid four stars. Perhaps because the show was in preview we were able to bag reasonably priced tickets at the box office direct. The staff were very friendly and helpful when we popped in the day before to check on availability. If there was a down-side it was that the seats were uncomfortable and the leg room very cramped, and thats coming from someone who is just 5ft & 2 inches! My companion had another foot on me and found the cramped seating a distraction from the show. Perhaps the more expensive seats are more comfortable. Wish everywhere had seats as cosy and roomy as The National Theatre! Conveniently located just along the road from Waterloo station for tube, rail and taxis.

Now for the review of the actual show! This show was amazing. The amount of detail put into each of the sets and the costumes was absolutely jaw dropping and completely exceeded my expectations. The acting was phenomenal and truly made you feel that you really were in another world. I was told by a worker at the bar that you could go to this show 4 times and have a different experience each time. I would definitely not mind doing this show multiple times to be able to see ALL of the sets, costumes, scenarios and different pieces of the story. Immersive theater at its finest!

We had an amazing time, but my god this place sticks to the 'original' Alice = totally mind altering! Located in Waterloo Vaults, you first enter into a bar and merchandise area, at which point you're asked to check your coat and bag in. There is a bar available but, having been to Cubana for a happy hour cocktail beforehand, we were just ready to get started. This is also the opportunity to pre-order your drinks for the Mad Hatter's Tea Party if you so wish - white or red wine, or a gin and cucumber cocktail at £5 a pop. The experience itself is hard to describe, partly because there's just so much going on your brain can hardly comprehend and partly because I don't want to ruin anything for those who want to attend in the near future. Four different stories unfold alongside one another, culminating in a huge court scene with the ferocious queen and interspersed with all the well known characters. The Mad Hatter's Tea Party was a personal favourite (and not just for the opportunity to sit down!) - the characters are all very well played, the right balance between scary and comfortingly familiar. Plus the look on people's faces when the scene begins again is something of a picture...worth swotting up if you want to know what's to come! The final bar is where you can revel in the success of escaping this twisting world, with a brilliant little band, bar and hot food available. There's a maze and some flamingo croquet for activities, and plenty of alcohol available. You can re-enter this area throughout its run this summer with your SUIT card, issued earlier in the evening, and worth visiting if you know someone who possess something so powerful. Why four stars? Giving in our bags as recommended rendered us purse-less, so that last area was a bit of a let down - once you exit, there's no re-entry on the day, so it was a quick nose around and then out again. Coming out at £50 a ticket, you'd also think that perhaps that the tea party drink could be on the house. Whether you go for 'eat me' or 'drink me', I recommend the Alice's Adventures Underground Experience. Just, please, don't eat the jam tarts!

    The review here below relates to a ticket seller Thearte Tickets Direct who the Peacock Thearte…read moreallow to sell show tickets on their behalf for their shows. We contacted the Peacock Theatre to explain our utter disapointment with 'agents' of their company who they allow to sell tickets on their behalf. The response from the Peacock Thearte was 'we are sorry but there is nothing we can do'. ADVCE: Other than stop companies like Theatre Tickets Direct selling tickets to your shows might be something you could consider? Whilst we are going to watch the show, we will never attend the Peacock Thearte again. It is rather ironic that the Theartes here in London have been pleading for Government funding to help them survive the pandemic, and then allow companies like Theatre Tickets Direct sell their shows and treat consumers unfairly in their name. HERE BELOW IS OUR THEARTE TICKETS DIRECT REVIEW ON GOOGLE AND TRUSTPILOT BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY AND BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER USING THEM CHECK THEIR ONE STAR REVIEWS. So, my Wife tried to book two tickets for Saturday Night Fever at the Peacock Thearte for the performance on the evening of the 20 February 2022. Upon visiting their site she notice a block of three front row seats available so she proceeded to book two of the three seats available. She booked one of the two seats but when she tried to book the seat next to the one she had booked she found that system was not letting her do so. Frustrated with this she when out of the booking system and refreshed her browser. Upon going back into the booking system she clicked on the first seat she had booked it and was not showing as available any longer. She then thought well that seat has now gone and successfully booked the other two remaining seats. She went to the secure checkout and paid for the tickets. Within minutes of making the booking she received notification from her bank that Thearte Tickets Direct had debited the cost of all three tickets from her account. She immediately emailed Thearte Tickets Direct advising them of the error within tens minutes of receiving the notification of debit from her bank. She received a very abrupt email the next day from a Nandeep Vyas advising that it was now 'impossible' to issue a refund for the third ticket even though it was probably a glitch in their booking system. We have perused the one star reviews here and would tend to agree with the consensus of opinion expressed therein that the customer service is appalling and that they are potentially scamming consumers. We are consumer lawyers and we will not let this matter rest. We fully intend to drag the matter through the Small Claims Court for a princely sum of £35 to issue on these people, and have them explain their T&Cs to the court is well worth it, and we will publish the outcome here, win or lose. We have also written to the Chief Executive of the Peacock Theatre outlining our dissapointment in the way in which this company represent the theatres who allow them to sell tickets for their shows on their behalf.

We were down in the stalls and there are no pillars or other such construction in the middle of the hall, so none of the seats were "restricted view" I'd bought discounted tickets on Time Out and that is always a risk, since you do not know until you've picked up your tickets in the day of the show, what seats are going to be allocated to you. But at the Peacock, that risk is minimised - due to the afore mentioned absence of "restricted view" seats. Temperatures were comfortable throughout. There were cafeterias on both floors (stalls and circle), but we had just had dinner before the show, so we didn't brave the crowds milling around to check it out. They do have a lift for the disabled to use, so access is not an issue, even though the elevator is very slow. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think they have some kind of tie-up with Sadler Wells as they seem to have a lot of their shows coming up.
