Palace Theatre

Based on the brand new picture book by Steven Lee (Don't Dribble On The Dragon, How the Koala Learnt To Hug) and brought to you by the creators of There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly, this fantastic family musical celebrates everything great about being a kid - and everything great about having one. Featuring breath-taking performances from its West End cast and the amazing musicianship of The Magic Moments Orchestra, Back to Bacharach celebrates the timeless masterpieces of Burt Bacharach, “The Hitmaker” behind one of the greatest American songbooks of the 20th Century.

Lovely venue, well organised, clean and tidy. Toilets are probably the only thing that let's it down very slightly as they are very small. I couldn't see disabled toilets either, although I may have missed them.
