wyndhams-theatre

Exquisitely charming and Cozy theatre in the Heart of London's west end with an incredible history, that showcases some of the world's leading theatre productions with big names such as Bryan Cranston, Pappa essiedu, Marianne jeanne-baptiste and Hayley squires in All my sons, Ncuti gatwa and Edward bluemel in Born with teeth, Rosamund pike in Inter Alia, Brian Cox in various production, Arthur darvill in Oklahoma!, Mark strong and Lesley Manville in Oedipus, hiran abeysekera in the Life of Pi.

Absolutely appalling experience. We bought two standing tickets for a play and arrived just 8 minutes after the stated start time (due to traffic congestion), only to be made to watch the play from the bar on a TV screen. This is completely unacceptable. They claimed this was their policy for latecomers and part of their T&Cs, but nowhere was this (watching the play from a TV screen) stated when we booked the tickets, not in the confirmation email. It feels misleading and unfair. Also, what musical or play actually starts exactly on the dot? None. This policy shows zero understanding or consideration for customers (especially when standing or sitting near the door, without disturbing anyone) The service was bad, the staff were unhelpful, and the whole experience was incredibly disappointing. We paid for a live theatre experience and were denied it. Needless to say, that I left the show earlier because I didn’t have any pleasure to spend 2 hours at bar. I would give 0 stars if possible. I will never come back here again.

The seats were fairly comfortable and visibility was great. There were plenty of friendly staff available to help and answer questions. Beautiful space, amazing play! The acoustics were quite good. As a first time attendee at Wyndham theatre, I was confused because all of my emails came from Delfont Macintosh, which is the group that owns the theatre, but NOT where you should go to see the play!

Located right in the heart of London near Leicester Square, this is one of the city’s historic theatres and the atmosphere is genuinely wonderful. It really does take you back in time. I have had the chance to see several great productions here, most recently All My Sons, which I thoroughly enjoyed. That said, one thing to be aware of is the seating. The legroom is very tight, and it can feel quite uncomfortable if you are sitting for a longer performance. Definitely something to keep in mind when booking.
