Bridge Theatre — Attraction in London

One of the most if not the most spectacular show I've seen of late! As a regular theatre goer I missed the boat (almost) with this fantastic production of guys and dolls and only managed to get round to seeing it on Saturday!

Even though i missed opportunity to see Danny Mays and Marisha Wallace as miss adelaide and Nathan detroit it was still a breathtaking show by all the cast!

VIsually stunning and if you choose to have a standing seat you will be fully immersed into the streets of New York/ Havana with an ever revolving stage. It is a long one though 2hr 50 mins including an interval

I don't have enough superlatives to describe this show! You simply must go and see it before it ends in January.

Such a beautiful new theatre too with ample leg room, super comfy seats, no huge queues for bar or the loos. The prices for food/drink were incredibly reasonable for the theatre and as the location is second to none (right in front of Tower bridge & opposite the river to the tower of london)

So easy to get to, come out of london brisge station, turn right and walk down the road about 5 mins or so you can cut across potters fields parks and the theatre is right there on the river next to city hall.

It would be wise to get there early and take in all the local sights and stroll along the river.

It's well worth to combine the show with all of your local sightseeing and winter at the tower Christmas Market stalls! I was sat in A5 gallery 2 and had a perfect view although at times I had to sit slightly forward and lean on the rails it was extremely comfortable and wonderful to see the band in full!

There is mid interval entertainment which is also wonderful and at the end of the show there is a wonderful chance for those who are standing to dance and party Cuban style with the cast it really is so spectacular to see

Absolutely...

I have been to every single offering of the season here since the Theatre opened in 2018. I absolutely love this theatre. it is not just the location, stupendous, with spectacular view to the Tower Bridge, the London Tower and the Gherkin cityscape before the show or in the interval, it is the whole package. The plays I have seen staged here, every single one was configured differently, from revolving stage in Young Marx, to coliseum style in the very next play, to more traditional stage in Jim Broadbent's play, or the play with Laura Linney. Their staging of Julius Caesar with Ben Withshaw et al blew my mind, so I became a member and go to everything they advertise. Prices are reasonable compared to elsewhere in London, and honestly, there is no such thing here as a bad seat even in cheaper categories just because the way the theatre is designed. I even picked this venue out of 80 others where Sir Ian McKellen was doing his evening charity event. Why may you ask? Because their website purchases are dead easy, their staff are fantastic, the venue is tremendous. Possibly THE only theatre in London or anywhere on the planet that has enough women's toilets. Cloakroom is efficient, the bar is excellent, drink and food offerings fab. The interiors are funki and modern, it is a joy to attend. The only criticism I have is on the last occasion the whole bag check was a debacle, with only one revolving door open, it created unnecessarily frustrating congestion out in the cold, and the after the show exit was one big traffic jam, a bit of a health and safety concern to be frank. But this is small stuff in comparison to this terrific theatre in terrific location, attracting top talent, like getting Dame Maggie Smith to come back to the theatre land after 12 years away, in April this year,...

Located just off Tower Bridge, the Bridge Theatre is a modern venue with stylish lighting and a clean, contemporary design. However, our visit on the 21st of June—on a sweltering 31°C day—was marred by a significant issue: there was no proper air conditioning. Only a single portable unit was in place, with visible piping trailing out the door, which did little to cool the space.

The theatre features an impressive 360° seating arrangement with a large central platform that can be raised or lowered depending on the performance. While visually striking, the stage felt surprisingly distant from many of the seated areas, including ours (Seats A47 and A48), despite being relatively close. The best views were reserved for the “pit” audience, who stood for the entire two-hour performance — a challenging option in the heat.

Our seats were at an awkward diagonal angle, making leg placement uncomfortable and the space tight when others needed to pass through. The overall experience was made worse by the lack of climate control — we were visibly sweating throughout the performance. It was unexpectedly uncomfortable for such a modern theatre, especially when compared to some of the much older West End venues that had excellent air conditioning on similarly hot days.

Overall: A sleek and innovative venue let down by poor temperature control and a less-than-ideal seating layout. On a hot day, be prepared for an uncomfortably warm experience — surprising for a newer...
