What Visitors Say
Amazing! I got to see Hamilton here with Leslie Odom Jr. The venue was very easy to navigate and the seats were comfortable. The only issue was during the interval when the queue to the toilet was very long and this delayed the second act from starting and some people didn't end up getting to use the toilet.
Venue staff were friendly and helpful!! Super fast checks at the door for bag search & tickets, and everyone we spoke to was in good spirits. Thank you for making our experience even better!!
We had a truly wonderful evening at the Victoria Palace Theatre watching Hamilton. The performance itself was absolutely outstanding the cast, music, and energy were phenomenal from start to finish. We were lucky enough to sit in one of the private stalls/cubicles. Having just the four of us in our own space made the experience feel extra special and comfortable. The toilets were spotlessly clean, and the attentive ladies assigned to our cubicle were fantastic, always on hand and at our beck and call whenever we needed anything. A really memorable and luxurious way to enjoy the show. Highly recommended!
Hamilton!! A riot of colour, music, singing and dancing. What an evening. I would recommend this musical to anyone. Amazing production, the stage craft is brilliant and the performance was breath taking. Every song, everyone clapped. It was a special treat. What a production and the history and storyline is amazing. I had not been to the London stage in years, it was a brilliant experience which went all to quickly. Would love to go again!
Watched Hamilton in the Victoria Palace Theatre. Simply an epic show and incredible performance. 10/10 would watch live again. I was seated in the Royal Circle row A. Probably the best view in the theater. Downside of the seating arrangement: by the time the intermission hit, I couldn't feel my legs anymore - there's no legroom to speak of.
