The show is not the mid century modern Bob Fosse production. This is a reinterpretation and is a much more complex and baroque production. The cast is fantastic and really belt it out! The theater is an oddball. If you don't sit on the stage level then be prepared to climb several flights of stairs to the weirdly narrow balcony seats. These seats afford a top down view of the stage. Sort of a "Busby Berkley" eye view of the stage. The sound quality is also quite excellent from up there. Thank goodness there is a WC on the top level! Highly recommend.

The theater is smaller and more intimate than other theaters that I've seen broadway level shows. Located in the heart of Piccadilly and next to Chinatown. The show itself is amazing!

Beautiful theater in London showing Wicked on Broadway! I was so excited to come watch this show…read moreand it was absolutely stunning. Plenty of seating available in the theater. I purchased a ticket at seat L24 down in the stalls for 83 GBP, which had a perfect view of the stage. The show was about 2.5 hours long with a 20 minute intermission after Defying Gravity. Snacks, drinks and merchandise were available for sale. I just wish they gave out the show brochures for free. It was 12 GBP for each one, which I chose not to buy. Great theater here and highly recommend!!

Our seats on the main floor were great, no obstructed views. It seemed like every seat was pretty good. We thoroughly enjoyed " The Play That Goes Wrong."

A lot of hard work goes into a production like this and it shows that everyone is committed and doing their part. Note that you have to be a fan of slapstick comedy to like this kind of play! As for the theater, it's not the most fancy setting, but it was functional and comfortable enough for us to enjoy the show. The seats are a bit cramped and forget about trying to go to the bathroom in the middle of the play, there is no room to maneuver through the seats if you're sitting in the middle of a row especially.

I went to see Happy Days last night and thought the theatre was fantastic (and the play was…read morewonderfully acted and produced). You never feel far away from the stage in the least and the acoustics are brilliant. Not a massive amount of leg room in the upstairs seating - I'm a 5'7 lady - and was a bit uncomfortable towards the end, if I were any taller I'd say book the stalls). But you feel immersed in the play in any seats. The bar is nice too though a little crowded so we went to the pub down the road before the play started. The only downside was that the same usher that had checked our tickets and pointed us to our seats then came over 15 mins later with a couple, just before the performance was due to start, and said they had the tickets for our seats. The lights went down to begin the performance and he proceeded to stand next to us with the angry couple waiting for us to find out tickets to prove we had a right to be there. Being pitch black and knowing the eyes of the audience were on us (as the performance was now being delayed due to this seating error) we were very flustered and had to empty out rucksacks and pockets. Needless to say we couldn't find them immediately and the usher gave us a v accusatory look and walked away with the couple (after a good 5 minutes of staring at us mid fluster). It transpired the guy next to us had knocked our tickets under his seat.. It was really upsetting and ruined the first 15 mins of the performance. The usher came over to us in the interval and proceeded to stand there whilst we had to find our tickets. On showing them to him he said 'oh good, I've done my job properly, I won't get told off' and then subtly blamed us for the other couple having to leave. It really cast a shadow over the evening. Please sort out your booking system - although it was v upsetting for us, the other couple were offered alternative seating in the gantry (20 mins after the play started for some bizarre reason) so just went home. As it was the last ever performance of Happy Days I suspect their night was more bleak than the play - a tall order. In summary; be warned about booking. I think us booking through TimeOut and the other couple going through the YoungVic website was the cause of the double booking. But that aside love it. 29/3/2015 - having emailed feedback to the manager of the Young Vic we were advised the usher had been spoken to and were offered a free program. A little patronising but hopefully they've amended their booking system.
