I visited The Broadway Theatre {June 2019} to see a production of "Sherlock Holmes & the Sign of Four "which was an excellent production . A cast of just 5 playing all of the parts, all instruments, with an imaginative set and just a wonderful production by The Blackeyed Theatre. I'd highly recommend it as they are touring this production. The venue is well presented, with good legroom for seating. I was H11 and had a perfect, unobstructed view plus seats either side of me empty so I could spread out. Being a matinee there were many elderly scooter users at the front so a lot of shuffling and moving about during the production which shouldn't really happen nor should the woman taking a call during the first half which was unfair on the rest of us. I feel that staff should be in the auditorium as with West End productions as the public clearly need to be removed when disturbing others. I was pleased to get the flier you see as Anita the assistant I asked for a flier gave me this one from the reception pin board which I was most grateful to have. Toilets were clean, bright and plentiful so no complains there and there was a bar / cafe but by 4pm there was no dairy free milk for a cuppa (they'd run out, which I can understand) so I was unable to stop for tea and cake as planned. I got here via Barking Overgound Line from Walthamstow Queens Road Station though the District and various trains also service this station. I caught a black cab to get to the venue which was £5.40, as I was pressed for time (TfL gave the wrong directions getting me off at Woodgrange Park the stop before Barking hence why I was pressed for time) but it's only a 10 minute walk through the marketplace to get to the theatre, so very close. I will certainly be back for other productions.

I came to this theatre for the 2nd time to see the fantastic Ben Thompson. Staff were helpful and attentive, the seating was very comfortable and their prices for drinks reasonable. I love the intimacy of this venue. this will not be the last time I return to this beautiful venue

I went there as part of the school Christmas Panto trip to watch Snow White. Lovely production and fun to watch. Nice audience interaction, children very excited to have been after Covid, it was a lovely treat from the Headteacher. Really nice theatre, easy to get to through the market from Barking Station. Very spacious inside, suitable for children and families, seats are comfortable. Plenty of space in the reception area. Staff friendly and welcoming.

Still can't believe our luck. Got tickets to see Lady Blackbird at the Broadway, Barking. She was stunning. Excellent new facility.

There is not a lot of parking available but once inside, the theatre is cosy but comfortable. That is, unless your seats are on either of the balconies at opposite ends of the stage (shown better in the photo attached). If you're unlucky enough to have the balcony seats, bring a cushion to ease the back pain and be prepared to watch a show with a pillar in the way. My visit with these seats at the back of the auditorium was very pleasant and I enjoyed the show immensely. For reference, this is the view from row U.

The Broadway Theatre is an awesome place. Went there last night for Nigerian Comedian Seyilaw's Live in London and I had so much fun. I like how simple the place looks yet so beautiful. I recommend more shows and events should be done here.

Had a great time watching Rapunzel. Both the cast and the pantomime were very entertaining and engaging too. The theatre was also clean and easily accessible. Will be looking out for future events!
