    Beautiful theater and great staff. Only one sit down toilet available in the men's, so be sure to avoid spicy food before attending. Getting drinks etc can be a hassle. Most seats provide a great view, avoid rear seats on ground floor

    AMAZING experience watching Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at Princess Theatre. The staff were friendly, helpful, and personable. The show was un-freaking-believable!! Definitely worth the price and the wait. Go while you can!!! It is incredible. The theatre is a very short walk from Parliament train station, making it super accessible!
