The Gielgud theatre is very cozy and relaxing. The shows never disappoint and the views in the entire theatre feel up close and personable.

Intimate space, bar on Dress Circle is a better choice for interval drinks. The theatre is just a stone throw away from best frozen yogurt in London -- SNOG! Have some while waiting at stage door! :D

From the entrance to the chosen seat, this whole building breathes history. Perfect view on the first balcony.

Great old theatre with high quality showings. Have seen the curious incident of the dog in the night time and the Ferryman.

I wouldn't book seats in the rear half of the stalls as the balcony starts to obstruct the view of the top of the stage.

Outstanding language & writing. Great acting and story of all times. What theatre was meant for.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is definitely a must.

Private Lives. Great play but 3rd act too short to warrant an interval. Don't bother with the bar. You'll be out beer you know it.

Grand circle seats have a good view of the stage even at the very back, but I wouldn't sit too far on the sides, your view will be blocked

Stunningly beautiful theatre! Saw Blithe Spirit there. Love old classic theatres like this.

Saw 'the curious incident of the dog in the night'. It was very well done. Definitely lived up to my high NY broadway standards.

Charming theater! Don't sit too far back in the stalls or your view of the stage will be blocked.

Intimate theatre with great views of the action.

The bar in the basement at the back of the stalls is very quiet before the shows start and cooler than the theatre in the interval

He really does tell you how he solved the math puzzle if you hang around after it's finished! - (Curious incident of the dog in the nighttime)

The staff are so friendly, but in the theater there were bugs and it was really annoying

Great view even from the upper balcony.

The side grand circle seats are pointless!! Can't see Anything!

"You are not allowed to take photos of the stage". But you can still receive lots of "texts".

Stop by the stage doors after the show to say hi and thanks to the cast and crew!

First row in the dress circle is perfect

Go up to the Saloon Bar, seating and no queues
Jochen RostDecember 26, 2011
Ladykillers - nice, but dry like a Martini. Doesn't translate from movie to stage, but is enjoyable to a point.
IvanApril 30, 2011
'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg' a must seen. The cast is amazing!
Ceara PixieFebruary 13, 2016
Grand circle is very squashed

There's a great production of Strangers on a Train from 4th November till 22nd February!!
Aaron HuckettJanuary 29, 2010
Avenue Q - a must see show. Probably not the most cultural of shows for those visiting, but a great laugh and fantastically un-PC. Read more
