We went to see The Nutcracker for my birthday, sat in the upper circle. The performance was amazing, and the theatre itself is beautiful with a lovely feel to it. Unfortunately, we had a woman and her child in front of us who refused to sit properly in their seats (e.g. sitting on very front edge of their seat, hoisting themselves out of their seat by leaning on the arm rests, and leaning very far forwards). This blocked mine and my boyfriend’s view of the stage, and also blocked the view of two ladies sat behind us. We politely asked the woman to sit properly and she refused, so we spoke to the theatre staff, who refused to help or intervene other than splitting us up and giving us separate seats. I find this quite surprising given how militant the policing of people on their phones is (and rightly so). A man also shouted very loudly at a girl sat in front of him in the middle of the show, which caused a large disturbance, but again there was no intervention from the staff who just stood and watched on. I found it quite odd! I would come again, but next time I’d just pay more to sit at the front of the upper circle so that you don’t run the risk of being exposed to rude and selfish members of the public. It’s a shame to have to do so though, because the staff should intervene if people are causing such disturbances.

The Coliseum is home to the ENO and we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit there to see Carmen. Much bigger than I expected it to be, the auditorium is ornately decorated and the seating was comfortable for the show. One minor gripe, and I guess maybe due to the building being over a hundred years old, there was a disappointing draught in the lower stalls that felt like someone had left a door open. It didn't spoil the evening but, was noticeable. Would I go again, yes, for sure - the show was excellent and the building well worth a look around.

Loved my first visit here in what seems a large auditorium. Staff welcome as good as it gets and whilst I like opera, Akhenaten just didn’t do it for me. Fabulous staging and music but boy is it slow. Luckily the third act is the best but you have to suffer to reach that part!

I was back in London on vacation and I was so happy to hear that We Will Rock You was on for a 12 week run, returned after closing in 2014. I have seen it 3x before, but wanted to see it again. It has been updated and Be Elton is great as POP. The Coliseum theatre is just gorgeous. The interior has amazing architecture and lighting and it was so fortunate to be able to see a show there.

Visited to see We Will Rock You. Great venue and amazing show. Ben Elton made the show and we laughed all the way through. I think you need to have seen Ben Elton on Friday Night Live to fully appreciate all the humour. We saw the original show and this updated version was even better. Great cast created a fab atmosphere- would go back and see it again tomorrow if we could,

Such a beautiful venue! We saw “We Will Rock You’’ and had a wonderful time. The coliseum seats were comfy enough and bathroom facilities were cleaned and stocked. Free cups of water at the concession area. Great experience!

What an unbelievable experience in a great theatre. The place is sensational and the staff are very good. The show is something that must not be missed. The music and show received a well deserved double standing ovation.

You can find the largest theatre of London in the famous St. Martin’s Lane. It was built in 1904. It was the first theatre to be electrified. It was initially a venue for the variety shows, which even included chariot races. The concept behind this theatre was that entertainment should be made accessible to the general public. It became the home of the National Opera in 1968 and continues to carry on this tradition. Several changes were made for this. An area was created for the large orchestra and the theatre was given the widest proscenium arch of West End to enhance the impact of the operatic performances.

No leg room at all in top section. Worse than Ryanair! Literally could never be comfortable. Had to stand up top for second act. We Will Rock You is also pretty terrible, even with the great music of Queen to work with. Nice looking though!

Superb venue, had everything we needed - good access (lift) great seats with excellent view. We Will Rock You was an amazing show, superb cast and musicians. Ben Elton was hilarious (you are still "the man" Ben as I told you at Upstart Crow...) and totally irreverent. Obvious that both the audience and the cast were having a great time, I can recommend everyone to see this show before it closes. It is an updated version of the original so worth another visit.
