Hairspray, Shaftesbury Theatre Reviews

Friendly helpful upbeat staff saw Abba Mania absolutely excellent.

I loved it. What a wonderful venue, operated by an organization dedicated to preserving the venue in all it's glory, full stop, and improving the visitor experience as much as possible. They are also involved in building and maintaining string community and artistic ties, one of the best operations in the West End in my opinion. The shows and productions are absolutely world class with stat of the art equipment, lighting, sets and production equipment. You will enjoy your visit there no matter how many times you visit. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Excellent performance of artist. Great show with great music, sets and costumes. Has been full of entertainment and a life time experience.

What a great & inclusive theater! Signs up for helping reduce single-use plastics, yet no discrimination for those with disabilities. Gender-inclusive bathrooms as well, and well-labeled elevators and paths. Plus, "& Juliet" is an incredible play! Definitely go see it.

I loved this show & with those soul soaring vocal ranges, it will blow your socks off from start to end!

The theatre is absolutely beautiful.
Everybody there from the theatre staff to the cast, are so attentive they honestly couldn't do enough for you.

The use of the issued Loop system struggled to work in Row C although I do feel this was due to my location.
Had I sat further back, like you have to in many other theatres, I'm sure it would have been fine but in fairness to this I was so close to the stage I was able to lip-read most areas I struggled with.

Saw ABBA tribute band, very good, theatre was excellent, staff friendly, all social measures in place.

First visit to this iconic theatre. Great feeling, full of energy. Well maintained. Watched Motown with family. Sound quality was good for us, given that we were quite close to the stage. Service was good. Certainly worth a visit. Recommended.

Amazing experience, beautiful theatre. We were there to see Motown and it has been a great show. Staff very helpful and professional. They even looked after our flowers while we were enjoying our show. View was good even from the top. Very much recommended.
