Make your way to your seats and enter the auditorium; the red and gold colours portray a sense of luxury and elegance which matches the quality of the performance.

With a capacity of 1500, it's one of the larger theatres in London, which only helps create a wonderful ambience as you hear people chatting before the show starts about the performances you're about to watch.

The lights will dim and suddenly, the room will fill with the sound of the performance and you'll be completely captivated.

The theatre is owned by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber and it's clear to see why so many successful shows have taken place here.

Maybe you’ve visited the theatre before and watched previous hits such as Evita, Chicago, Waitress and Kinky Boots.
