Reviews of Theatre Royal Drury Lane
"The most amazing theatre in every way and incredible history. We went on the theatre tour, highly recommended, had a wonderful cocktail in The Garden bar, and then watched the show, Frozen. Spectacular staging and effects, beautifully performed and sung. Samantha Barks as Elsa, an exceptional talent. If you have not yet been, add it to your bucket list."
"We went for the afternoon tea party and it was absolutely amazing. We went to celebrate a birthday and it was the best experience. The service, to the food, to the tea was all delightful. They do offer vegetarian options, which was a plus since one person in our party was vegetarian. The sweet and savory courses were delicious, and the tea was unlimited. The atmosphere was elegant, and I'm so glad we were able to attend. Unfortunately, they don't sell the tea here, or that would have been an added bonus. Overall we had a wonderful time and I highly recommend."
"Oh my, Wow, this theatre is well looked after from the impressive facade to the sweeping staircases this has it all in front of house, it's not let down by the staff either courteous friendly knowledgeable, but then you go into the theatre proper and it delivers, from the monogrammed carpet and beautiful velvet seating (also monogrammed) the whole thing is impressive, such wonderful sconces and architecture, you can even have afternoon tea there, either in a small piano side room or the main area. The stage is large and gives the stage show and visual prowess that is simply breathtaking. If you have tickets to a show here then you are definitely in for a treat."
"As the other reviews say the theatre is simply gorgeous and very clean. Seats were comfortable. We saw the Frozen show and it was excellent. There are some added songs to make it a full show, but the favorites are in there as well. The set was incredible those guys need some recognition- as was the band. All in all, a wonderful experience."
"What a beautiful theatre! It's like an art gallery, it has a grand entrance beautiful bars inside. My wife and I went to the the frozen production, we were in the front row seats 27 & 28 the view was unrestricted and the show was great. Inside the theatre hall the decoration is very nice. The seats are comfortable and the stage is very large. I would definitely recommend the show Frozen and seeing any show in the Theatre Royal Drury Lane."
