Criterion Theatre Tours and Tickets

Yes, visiting the Criterion Theatre is definitely worth it. This beautiful venue dates back to 1874 and is Grade II–listed. Along with being an architectural masterpiece, the theater also hosts a great lineup of shows, including comedies and musicals, such as Titaníque.

Ticket prices for the Criterion Theatre vary depending on which show you see, as well as dates and seating categories. As an example, tickets to see Titaníque may range from £35 for restricted-view seats to £135 for premium seating.

Yes, parts of the Criterion Theatre are accessible, though since it’s a Grade II–listed building, some areas are only accessible via stairs. The auditorium has step-free access available to the Upper Circle. There is also one accessible restroom available on the Upper Circle floor.

Yes, there are age restrictions for performances at the Criterion Theatre, but these vary depending on which performance you book. As an example, Titaníque is only recommended for ages 14 and above, due to strong language and adult humor. Guests under 16 must be accompanied by an adult over 18 years old.

No, there isn’t a specific dress code that’s enforced by the Criterion Theatre, however, as at most West End theaters in London, many people opt for smart-casual clothes. It’s best to avoid wearing anything too casual or anything that could distract performers or other members of the audience.

Yes, there is a coat check/cloakroom at the Criterion Theatre, but it has very limited space, so you can’t store suitcases or large bags there. It can only accommodate small items, such as handbags. For those with large backpacks or bigger items, the theater recommends using local luggage storage facilities—you can find a link to options on its website.
