Built in 1905, Aldwych Theatre was constructed as a pair of the Novello Theatre by designer W. G. R. Sprague. Despite being constructed together and designed by the same architect, the two theatres were funded and managed by different entities. The theatre has hosted numerous musical comedies in its early years, including the production Blue Bell, which starred Mr. Hicks.
Featuring an Edwardian Baroque style, the Aldwych Theatre is a visual delight. The theatre became renowned for the quality of the shows produced, particularly the series of comedies that played at the theatre starting in 1925.

It was a gift! The two visitors to the musical loved it and were almost sad that it was over so quickly. They could have watched it for a while longer!!! The actress Tina Turner was "mega cool" and the theater was just !!!! All in all, the visit was worth every penny!!!

I was a bit disappointed by the price of tickets which was substantially higher than the initial offering. But the purchasing process was straightforward and it was nice to be able to a) download the tickets to the iPhone's wallet and b) send my wife's to her to do likewise. Most importantly, the show was terrific!
Wonderful entertainment. Great actors Theater seating Grand Circle look very narrow and steeply rising, backrest very short, quasi danger of falling
