Aldwych Theatre Tours
54 Reviews
Since opening its doors in 1905 in the heart of London’s West End theater district, the historic Aldwych Theatre has hosted some of the city’s most compelling plays and musicals, including recent hits such as Andrew Lloyd Webber's Whistle Down the Wind, Fame, and Dirty Dancing.
Built in 1905 to the design of architect W.G.R. Sprague, the grand Baroque theatre is now a Grade II listed building, with a 1,200-seat auditorium spread over three levels. The theatre made its mark on London’s West End in the 1960s and 70s, when it became the temporary home of the Royal Shakespeare Company and staged various RSC productions including The Wars of the Roses, The Greeks, and Nicholas Nickleby. Most recently, it’s been the London home of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.

Wonderful Show!

I highly recommend this show. However, when choosing your seats, the theater is more intimate than anticipated, therefore there is really not a 'bad' seat. My suggestion on selecting seats- do not get the seats overlooking the stage on the side. You will only have partial view of the stage unless you lean over the ledge. Other than that- no complaints.
Tina Turner - WOW

This was a very good value - have attended many plays and events like this ....... very good tickets; however, dinner was disappointing - better off with just the play tickets - as you are on your own the entire time......... without much clarification of where to go or when!

OMG! This was probably the highlight of our trip. This show is a MUST SEE. Even if you were not a fan of Tina Turner, the story, her life and circumstances make for a riveting musical. The talent in this show, especially TINA was fantastic. My whole family really enjoyed this show and I highly recommend it when in London.
