This is a well located Soho theatre that puts on some decent shows. The ticket prices are, as you might expect, quite astounding which is why we ended up in the Grand Circle for Dear England.
That said the view from way up high wasn't terrible but you're not close enough to read the actor's expressions. So definitely don't forget your glasses.

Very nice typical old London theatre viewing spread over 3 floors so choose seat carefully. I was in the stalls and the view was excellent. I'm 6'3" and my knees weren't touching the seat in front of so plenty of leg room. I saw Dream England the play about Gareth Southgate's early years as England manager.
Went to see "Dear England" there. The theatre was clean, well organized, and the staff were polite and helpful. Absolutely loved my experience
Went to watch Dear England.
The theatre was clean. Toilets looked new and recently refurbished.
Seats were quite comfortable in the Grand circle.
The queue to get in was not long. The ushers were polite and the doormen were not rude.
Would recommend. Better than other theatres in London which are dated.

I think by now, this was one of the few West End theaters I haven’t been to. I really loved it, the building is classic, like many other theaters in the area, with small but comfortable seats and good view/acoustics. The bar allows to pre-order ahead of the interval and the menu of drinks is good (except their Negroni which tastes like medicine). The plays at this theater are always heavyweight. I saw “Dear England” and it was just great.
Went to see ‘Dear England’. Really good play. Had a seat in the dress circle. Nice to sit on the bar balcony before the performance. Great view of the stage. Nice staff and a Hagen Daz ice cream at the interval.
Went to see Dear England at the Prince Edward! Lots of facilities, great seats, visit the bar if you can - they have lovely views of the surrounding area. Team was super helpful and the queue (which looked long at first) moved quickly. A fun day overall.
Gorgeous theatre and a simply amazing show with outstanding performances. Not much leg room, though, in the seats - we were all fidgeting with our legs and feet trying to get comfortable.
The true story of The Temptations' rise to fame was fascinating, and we would definitely recommend this brilliant show, if you find yourselves in our capital city.
