What Visitors Say
We were visiting London and our son living there. We knew about this musical as it is also playing on Broadway NYC USA. We contacted our concierge at Melia White House and he assisted in us purchasing tickets online. Easy. We chose our seats in the "Dress area' high up terrific view of stage, scenery, cast, and hear music. The show was educational, true story, great scenery, cast, and music ( all female cast). Fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed . Great seats, staff, and ushers who monitor NO Photos until end of show-encore ( see attached). Highly recommend show and where it plays Vaudeville Theatre London.
We went there to see the hilarious improv show of austentacious. It was so clever and funny and i would watch it again and again as no show is like the other. The theatre itself is nice and not too bog, we were sitting on the upper balcony and could hear and see everything.
Quite small for a Westend Theatre (about 700 seats across the 3 levels) but equally beautiful and it has excellent legroom (stalls). Right on the Strand, so easy to get to. Saw Six the Musical. Short at 1h 20m but lots of fun!
I went to see SIX, and it was absolutely amazing. The cast has incredible energy—it’s something completely different from the classic musicals people are usually used to. The show feels more like a concert, with powerful performances and nonstop intensity that keeps you hooked from start to finish. It’s fresh, fun, and really stands out. That said, I was in the front row, and at times the lights were a bit too intense. Honestly, I think from the second or third row you’d get just as good a view without getting blinded every now and then. Still, an unforgettable experience that I’d totally recommend.
Went to see Six and had a fabulous time! I sat in the dress circle B2 and could see everything very well. Staff were very kind and helpful and made the experience more enjoyable. And at the finale the pictures turned out fabulous! Overall such a beautiful theatre with gorgeous seating, staff, and views!

Things to Know Before You Go
Which seats are worth prioritising at Vaudeville Theatre?
Stalls centre for full sound and energy. Dress Circle front rows offer an excellent elevated view. Upper Circle front-centre provides strong value and clear sightlines in a compact auditorium. For a safer booking, also note: Avoid far-side Upper Circle if you prefer a head-on view, and back rows for taller visitors due to the shallow rake. Overall, sightlines are good because of the theatre's size. Use that as editorial guidance rather than a guarantee; always check the live seating plan and any seat notes before paying.
Is Vaudeville Theatre a good venue for seeing Six?
Yes, if you book with the production's scale in mind. Six is currently listed at Vaudeville Theatre, so choose seats that suit this staging rather than simply buying the cheapest available ticket. For a first visit, a central view is the least risky option.
What kind of night out does Vaudeville Theatre suit best?
Vaudeville Theatre works best for Light-hearted shows, plays, comedies and modern musicals. Perfect for fans of SIX, date nights, groups and theatre-goers exploring the Strand and Covent Garden. The right choice depends less on dress code and more on matching the room to the production: intimate plays reward proximity, while spectacle-led musicals usually benefit from a more centred overview.
What should I know about access before booking Vaudeville Theatre?

How early should I arrive at Vaudeville Theatre?
