It was a really good show and the actors were phenomenal. Great stage presence. Ticket entrance went by without any issues.
Show was wonderful. The seat I was allocated was behind a pole and the seats are so narrow that if there is someone sitting next to you who is a little large it is very uncomfortable. I was able to move during the interval., which helped.
Everything was great....loved being in an older London theater. I wish the programs were on a smaller scale so they would be complimentary.....we didn't purchase one, rather looked at our neighbors.
Show.was excellent. So so good... We loved it
theater was lovely and the show was great . both actors had strong voices and played their parts perfectly.
