Unicorn Theatre: what do users think?

Dee P: We love coming to this Theatre to watch performances for the children. Our favorite has been 'Anansi the Spider'. I am going to have to take my child again to see it as months have passed and he still asks about it!Lovely staff are by the entrance to scan your QR code ticket on your arrival and then you can wait in the foyer where there are tables and chairs- you can also buy refreshments. The friendly staff will let you know when you are able to go upstairs to be seated for the show. There are toilets and baby changing areas. There is also a lift to go upstairs to the theatre.

Andrew Dougal: Short show but good for young 1-4 yr olds

Aymen Bessassi: Very good service, amazing coffee with very respectful customer service. would recommend, love rasa in the shop she was really nice and had a very good attitude. They have the best cakes in Bromley town.

katerina tacata: Nice but dirty and cold floors

Andy Lovell: Went to see The Squirrel, an interactive and immersive children's theatre experience. Every child in that room was rapt with attention and both our 4 y/o and 1 y/o adored the performance. Even the adults were in on the fun, a perfect morning treat for the younger ones.

Mon B.: Lovely staff, incredible interactive and funny. My daughter loved it!

Sarah Furnell: Utterly delightful. We took our 2¾ year old to see Squirrel, and he was utterly entranced, as we're his parents. What a beautiful show and a fabulous place. I look forward to more visits.

Julia Sv: Very lovely place and interesting performance. My toddler enjoyed the Squirrel very much!

Hemavathi Tamilmaran: Strongly recommend for babies under 5.

Simon Perez: Wonderful place for young children, we watched the lovely Squirrel show and it was brilliant

Nick Riley: Exremly friendly & helpful staff. Fantastic experience!

Matt Smith: The atmosphere was child-focused and welcoming. We saw Squirrel, which was imaginative, engaging, and fun. There was clear attention paid to small details. If we lived here, we would be regular children’s’ theatre goers at Unicorn Theatre.

Engee001: Loved The Invisible Man show. Great fun.

Phil Kench: Well organised and very child friendly

Konstantina Askianaki: Good for young children and toddlers

Lyceum Theatre: what do users think?

Mateusz Prager: Great lion king show

Rune Willaert: Wow, beautiful music. The price tag may be there but what a great musical. The vocals were top notch and so was the piece itself. It fills up quickly so you have to be quick. But if I could recommend one thing you should definitely do in London, it would be this.

Tachyon Jayanth: , the show was cut short and we did not get to watch it through

Rose Dongois: with a short intermission in the middle. I was in the Royal Circle place G20.

Gilles Maggio: We had a marvellous moment at the lyceum theatre.We attended Disney’s The Lion King and booked seats 28-29 on row A in Grand Circle.There is a barrier in front the seats but my gf is 1m59 and we had no issue to perfectly see the stage.The show was just mesmerising, the theatre is gorgeous, you absolutely need to go there if you are in London.

איתן אלוני: The set, the costumes are amazing, make the musical, everything else is mediocre

אירית ברשטיין: An impressive place. The show is excellent. the setting The costumes in general is wow. Each costume is special, terribly complex, impressive. Live music, live singing, no playback. The dances,... in short, a very impressive show.

Bartek Rychcik: The Lion King is an absolute must-have in London

Daniel: Spectacular show. The music is amazing and the stage show and the costumes will blow your mind. It is quite tailored to families with younger children, but definitely worth a visit.

Eric White: ...excellent production

Joanne Woodhouse: Lion King was amazing, what an experience

Debbie Dyer: Amazing beautiful theatre. Food and drinks very expensive but to be expected. Very nice polite staff. The Lion King is amazing.

Apollo Victoria Theatre: what do users think?

Lorenzo Spaccarelli: Great theater.

Rachel Shaw: Spectacular performance.Definitely worth going to see.

Warren Sufrin: We had great seats in the Dress Circle. What mosted impressed me was the online ordering on food and drink, delivered to your seat. It was fast and convenient.

Stephen Pickett: Great theatre experience, Wicked was amazing! Facilities generally pretty good, they have bars and places to buy snacks but everything is very highly priced; my girlfriend got talked up to buying VIP access when getting a drink - was £30 each for 2 drinks, a tiny bowl of crisps and tiny ice cream tub, plus then £20 for her son for the same snacks and 2 drinks as we complained about the price. Staff were generally friendly and helpful.

Chow Hon Keong: This theatre is situated in Central London.The theatre is popular and it's location is great. Public access to the theatre is good and simple.The setup of the theatre is good. The structure of the theatre gives good vision and auditory effects to the patrons.The present performance is fantastic.The performers acted and sang fantastically. Highly recommended to watch this performance.Costumes and together with the lighting and sound effects make the performance great.Seatings are comfortable.Drinks are available in the theatre.Public washrooms are available within the theatre.

Ian Barrett: Went to see Wicked at the Apollo on Saturday 22nd July 2023. Thoroughly loved the show…. Highly recommend it. Unfortunately the people sat in front of us kept talking throughout the first half. During the intermission, we spoke to the theatre staff. They apologised and were able to find our group of 3 some different seats a lot closer to the stage for the 2nd half. They also had a word with the people that were talking, so hopefully the other people around them wouldn’t be disturbed any further too. Good work team! You helped ensure that an annoyance was put right, and made it up to us!

M M: The audience was too loud during the performance...

Lisa Drury: Amazing show Wicked! The venue is really spacious and even in row Z in stalls the view was fantastic

Carl Kenyon: Great venue

Lois Middleditch: Fabulous

Lorraine Mccallum: Wicked you were amazing

Phil Wheeler: Second visit to the Apollo Theatre to see Wicked. Excellent show in a great theatre. Bars within easy access of seats plus seat pre ordering available for the interval. Really easy to reach as just down the road from Victoria Station and Tube, plus the bus station.

Mubashira Khan: Fabulous performance of The Wicked!!Had a splendid time at the theatre with family. The staff were friendly and courteous.The cast of Wicked was spectacular, and we all loved our experience at the theatre. 🤩🤩🤩

Judith Ashcroft: Went to see Hamilton and enjoyed the whole experience

Anna Durbanova: Watched the Wicked for the first time! Love it and the theater itself is really nice

Isabella Calmiano: Visited at the weekend to see Wicked. Show itself was absolutely incredible!Theatre is beautiful inside, very well maintained. The bar is a little small with minimal seating and the toilet cubicles are a bit cramped.The main seats were fairly comfortable, well marked and easy to find.

I appreciated the inclusion of an extra changing table outside the main baby change cubicle when this was occupied and my baby needed an emergency change! The café was busy but we got a table. My only difficulty was determined how to dispose of a leftover drink to utilise the recycling system. This is a lovely place for kids and well worth a season ticket if you are local enough to visit regularly.
