Reviews
"Seen a fantastic performance of the National dance company Wales in this theatre."
"Plays music extremely loudly even at weekends, evenings and bank holidays. Has no regard for those who live next to it. Breaking noise pollution laws and completely uncooperative"
"The Place is an incredible place to learn contemporary dance. With a great range of classes at all levels and styles. The team running The Place care a great deal about putting on programmes of activity that reflect the needs of their participants, recruiting the best teachers. Classes are always enjoyable and uplifting, while still being technically challenging. I have a huge amount of time for The Place and I'd absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for contemporary dance classes."
"I have been The Place in total of 3 times, I like it. Its canteen is very reasonable and comfortable. Very close from Euston station. It is a bit difficult to find if you come from Kings Cross, but it is just next to Premier Inn of Duke Street behind a big church you can see from just outside Euston station. The theatre is a good size, easy to see from front row to middle row. I never sat at the back so I am not sure but I imagine it would be also good view. The theatre is a pit style so the stage is lowest and seats are going up gradually. Only thing I do not like about the location is that Euston Road is so heavy traffic all the time so it is frustrating to cross the road. Need to cross about 4 traffic lights to get the place from the station. And some traffic lights do not change for long time even there is not much traffic. With a child , it gets me nervous each time. They do an open day around the end of July every year, we went only once but that was totally inspiring and fun. My daughter learned about Maddy Ziggler from that day. We also saw a beatiful dance + theatre , a story about “a fish is getting so big to eat the world”. That was very good. We should have more shows like that for kids ( something not a Christmas panto, not just a comedy but inspiring / beautiful, not too expensive and most importantly not too long!!!) But many workshops looked like mostly for under 6, so my daughter might be a bit too old now. I went to see Zoonation Academy's Christmas show the other day here and it was excellent (I did not have any relatives or somebody I know in the show). Highly recommend it !"
"Great theatre!!! The management is commendable. There are some of the best shows in London at this theatre. You can’t get it wrong. Around this theatre are great restaurants for after show food and drinks. I had a great time watching a late night dance show by a trio. It was a demonstrative dance. There are also a variety of parking options including street parking within a reasonable distance."
