Charming West end theatre just around the back of Haymarket and just a few minutes walk from either Leicester Square or Piccadilly Circus underground stations. We were in the stalls for Allegra which had decent legroom and good views of the stage, although a bit further back you might get some of the dress circle above blocking some of the view of the stage. Nice bar, friendly staff and decent toilets which surprisingly didn't have massive queues for a West end theatre.
Saw Maureen Lipman at the Harold Pinter Theatre in Allegra.
I found the show had some good laughs even though the subject matter can is a serious one and can effect all people in society of all classes & nationalities. Who's to say the people we regard as acting full of energy,in a good mood the majority of the time and have a song for every punchline they hear are the ones who need medicating to numb them down?
Maybe it's the rest of us that need a pill to clear the clouds and bring us up a little.
The whole cast were actually brilliant & played there roles very well, they also interacted with the audience very well.
What a wonderful afternoon at the Harold Pinter Theatre. It’s a beautiful, intimate West End venue with plenty of character, comfortable surroundings and excellent sightlines that really draw you into the performance. The theatre staff were welcoming and efficient, making the whole experience enjoyable from the moment we arrived.
The play itself was both touching and humorous, with plenty of warmth throughout. Maureen Lipman delivered an outstanding performance, effortlessly moving between moments of laughter and emotion. Her stage presence was captivating, and she held the audience’s attention from beginning to end. The supporting cast were equally strong, creating a production that felt polished and engaging.
A thoroughly enjoyable visit to one of London’s finest theatres. If you’re looking for an evening of first-class acting in a beautiful setting, I would highly recommend it. Five stars all round.

Great front of house team. Myself and my mum came to watch Allegra. When we encountered a rude man in the audience. Who was very abrupt and body shamed us for simply asking him to let us passed to get to our seats. This upset both us and led us to go and speak to someone front of house as we did not want to sit next to this man after he caused us distress. The lady front of house got her manager to speak to us. Who apologised and moved our seats. The manager also reassured us that the man would get spoken to. The show was amazing and we had great experience after that issue was resolved. Great customer service. Would defiantly return in the future to watch another show.
