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

Stanley Bouwer

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

Bijan Young

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

Ross Groom

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

Enzo Martinelli

Great historical theatre with a creative and very enjoyable production of the Curious Incident

Roman Tomjak

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

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

Aaron

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

Laura Loewy

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

Jonathan Beeston

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.

Jason H.

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

Simon Wicks

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)

Adam Kemeny

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.

Michael B.

Go up to the Saloon Bar , seating and no queues

Paul in London

Good sight lines in most seats.

Phil Kench

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

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

Lisa Bryan

Excellent!! Superb acting and effects.

Fahad Alo

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

Paul Lynch

Great view even from the upper balcony .

Tiziana Schembri

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

Aaron Huckett

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

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

Ivan

'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg' a must seen. The cast is amazing!

First row in the dress circle is perfect

Jochen Rost

Ladykillers - nice, but dry like a Martini . Doesn't translate from movie to stage, but is enjoyable to a point.

Ceara Pixie

Grand circle is very squashed

Dimitris ???? G

Go for the closer rows in stalls, because it can get claustrophobic with more remote options - Fresh
