Was amazing to watch all the cast especially miss langford who made my girls special trip all that more special by stopping to chat and sign a programme even with time for a photograph she was so lovely and had time for her fans. Will definately be back to another show here my girls has the best time ever and I can never say thanks enough.

I loved this show. I’m still singing the songs to myself and tapping to the beat. The dancing was a delight. The show was very uplifting. What a big cast of excellent professionals. I have read some reviews but it was much better than I expected.

We will never enjoy a show as much as this one! Seen it 5 times, 4 times at the Theatre Royal and once in an open air theatre in Vancouver. Can't be faulted, entertainment at its best.

This was the most amazing show and an absolutely fabulous way to finish our Christmas and New Year break. I went to the matinee performance and would have happily walked back in to see the evening performance! It was just brilliant...

Enjoyed the show but it would not rank it with others as one I would wish to see again. The dancing was terrific but the singing in American accents was very screechy.

Absolutely faultless in every way. There was not one weak link in the show and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a stunning spectacle. All the actors were fabulous. The whole cast was an inspiration. I have been in the chorus twice in this show and know it well. This production did not disappoint and I would recommend it to anyone. Joanna Parlby

42nd Street Show is set in America in the 1930ts. Very colourful, very American Broadway glitz & glamour which I thought was first class entertainment for all ages & all nationality's. We loved 42nd Street Show, but I don't think it is for everybody. We sat in the Balcony which I admit is high up but for £94.80 in F11 & 12 isle seats gave loads of leg room & almost unrestricted views of the stage & gave very good value or pay £332 sit in the best Stall seats to see the same show. Your Call.

I took a chance on the tickets to see the show as I remember the film and enjoyed it very much. After seeing 42nd Street show on the 27th 12 2018 I could not believe how good the cast was. The theatre is a small place but with the cast and their talent and energy made the whole show so so much bigger. You felt that you were back in time actually seeing the real performance of that time. The costumes were great, great songs and rhythm to accompany the story well done to all the cast who have made so many people enjoy the show that will be a life long memory. Alan

Second time of seeing 42nd Street and so good. Gets you from the start and continues to enthrall. The cast were excellent, I wish I had half their energy. This time was for my 13year old granddaughter for Christmas and she loved it too. Seats not so good as right up the top at the back but the best I could do on a pension. Did not detract from enjoying the show though. Thank you.
