Cracking little theatre 🎭 My only negative would be the lack of toilet space which really did become an issue when you just can't get more than 1/2 people in at a time.

Intimate theatre. The welcome bar area is sociable enough. Seating is roomy enough. Saw Austentarious here and sat at the back of the halls. Slight overhang can be slightly distracting but not too bad. Wouldn hesitate to return.

Great small theatre located off Leicester Square, with close underground stations. Plenty of restaurants and bars

Went to see Choir of Man.It has a real bar on the stage!It was an amazing show, guys are all really talented.Great songs,dancing, playing musical instruments and the audience participation made the show fun and memorable.Singalong songs and some comedy sketches were brilliant.It had a underlying message about men's health and the need to talk along with saving the local pub as it is a great British institution and a place where guys would most likely talk and open up about anything with their mates. I would recommend this show as one not to miss . Can't give it more than 5 stars unfortunately but definitely it is worth loads more.Don't wait book a ticket now you won't be disappointed 😄

Cute little theatre. Feels intimate. Went to see Choir of Man. For the second time. Just love it. Staff friendly and engaging. Characterful bar area. Not sure what disability access is like as wasn't required but worth checking if needed.
