The London Coliseum is open from 75 minutes before your show. We recommend arriving as early as possible and no later than 15 minutes before the performance starts so that you have plenty of time to collect your tickets, buy a programme and merchandise, and find your seat. Please note that there are no booster seats available for Under 16s.

The London Coliseum is an incredible building – and many people arrive early to soak up the atmosphere and take a look round.

If you’d like a drink or a bite to eat when you get here, you’ll find our bars open from 75 minutes before the show. You’ll be able to take your seat in the theatre auditorium from 30 minutes before the performance begins.

Yes. We have a lift for all levels. It can be found in the foyer by the Box Office.

You do not need to collect your tickets. You can print your e-ticekts at home or access them via your phone or tablet – they will be attached to your confirmation email and so you can go directly to your seats when you get here.

If you have chosen to collect your tickets, you’ll need to go to our box office in the theatre foyer where one of the team will be happy to help.

The London Coliseum is a cashless venue. All catering and shop purchases must be made by credit or debit card.

We don’t allow any hot drinks, food or alcohol purchased from outside the theatre to be brought into the building, and due to licensing any alcohol will be confiscated.

If any confectionery or bottled drinks are brought inside, we kindly ask that you do no open them inside the auditorium as the noise created can be distracting for other customers.

We have water stations across all main levels of our theatre and welcome you to bring in and refill any reusable bottles you may have.

We have some delicious options available.

You can book dining options for your show.
