new victoria theatre

Just went to see Monty Python's Spamalot and it was amazing. Joe Pasquale is the PERFECT King Arthur - I couldn't imagine anyone else playing the role. The fact that there was 'unscheduled laughing' from the actors was hilarious (I doubt I'd be able to keep a straight face when staring straight at Joe Pasquale!!). The New Victoria Theatre pulled off Spamalot better than the West End version.The New Victoria Theatre itself is amazing. The foyer (lobby/lounge) on the Rear Stalls and bottom floor are luxurious and extremely posh. As much as I like the classical design to theatres, this theatre gives a truly different feel on entry in to the Auditorium. I've been to hundreds of theatres, this is probably the best in the whole of England.

We went to see the Queen tribute band, Mercury for the second time at Woking. Great show and good venue. Our only criticism is getting out of the multi storey car park was difficult. It took us 20 minutes mid week, so I'm assuming weekends are probably worse. We parked in the blue car park, so maybe some of the others are easier to get out of. We will try next time! We have been to New Victoria quite a few times now and have really enjoyed everything we have seen. Seats are not comfortable after an hour or so but I am quite tall. However, it is so much more convenient to go here than up to London.

Went to see The Full Monty - it was brilliant.The seats were comfortable with plenty of legroom but no centre aisle. Well produced with good accoustics and not too loud. A pleasant bar area, with a pianist, on three levels via a spiral staircase. The only downside was the bar prices - rather high compared to other theatres.

Went to see the Full Monty. Great show well worth the visit. Venue was nice and the staff all very friendly. Clean tidy venue. Overall a great experience. Parking was good value and very close to the venue. Would happily go again to this venue.

Wow, what a show. Just enjoyed Barnum with Brian Conley at Woking theatre. It was fantastic. Wonderful evening. Great atmosphere and brilliant performances. If you can, check their schedule and it comes anywhere near you - go and see it, its a treat

Last evening we went to see Matthew Bourne's Edward Sissorhands at this theatre. It was a wonderful experience. The show was amazing and very well received by the Woking audience. We even had snow falling in the last scene onto the audience. The seats were comfortable and plenty of room for legs, we were sitting in the stalls. The theatre was full to bursting, so the atmosphere was great. The prices are less than that of a London theatre which is a bonus. My only complaint, which has nothing to do with the theatre, is that it was confusing to find the theatre once one had parked the car. I think Woking should rethink their sign posting!

Lovely theatre with top shows! Great viewing from all angles, nice bar area and if you want to go early all the shops are only a second away.

for me and my child and the booking fee was just over 51.00, so quite pricy. Would have liked to have seen a child price ticket.Ice creams £3 eachAnd if you are in the upper circle - lovely view but you are a LONG way up !

We have been to this Theatre many times and even though it is very modern I find it lacks atmosphere. The shows are really good and the Theatre is very clean. We sat in the front row once and found that there wasn't much room to move. Also once when we were in the front row, we could look over and see the Orchestra. It was very off putting as one of them seemed to be on his mobile phone most of the time . I might have got the wrong idea thinking he was having a private conversation with a friend. He might have been talking to the Stage Manager. Also I find some people buy cheap tickets and then move down to the dearer ones in the interval. This has happened quite a few times. There are no staff keeping an eye and it is annoying when you have paid for the dearer seats. The tubs of ice creams are quite small and expensive. The Theatre is right up the top of the Peacocks Centre and the first time I wen up there on the escalator I felt quite shaky. It seemed a long way up and I made the mistake of looking down.

Lovely venue lovely staff amazing show. Everyone so lovely to us. The venue has a car park right near so perfect for bringing the car also 5mins from the station. Good link up of shows for 2015

We are so lucky to have a Theatre of this calibre within a ten minute drive from home so go frequently, mainly to musicals as that is what we prefer. They are always first class entertainment and have never been disappointed! The bar areas are very spacious on all floors and have comfortable seating. I can thoroughly recommend The Solid Silver 60's show, New Jersey Nights, Dirty Dancing, Cats, Carnaby Street, Sixties Gold, Let's Hang On, The Sensational 60's Experience, The Carpenters Story, Dreamboats And Miniskirts & The Hollies. All of which we have been to see over the last 18 months and cant wait for the next enjoyable evening out! Try it for yourself, you wont be disappointed!

Going to the New Victoria Theatre in Woking is as good as going to the West End.The theatre is small, friendly and clean. Unfortunately the drinks and other refreshments are as expensive as the West End! Ticket prices are comparable; stools are better for unrestricted view as the boxes are not best placed. The acoustics are excellent for both musicals, plays and ballet alike.Parking is plentiful. There are restruants about the Peacock Centre, but it really would benefit from a simple coffee shop, especially late night for refreshments before attempting to leave the busy car park.

I like this this theatre. Enjoyable to visit. Staff are friendly and approachable. Always a good selection of shows and concerts across the year. Previous reviews have said about drinks being pricey, this is the same at all theatres. Not just here. Go to the New Victoria if you see a show you like, you will not be disappointed.

We go to the theatre in Woking when ever we can. It is a modern spacious theatre with all seating having good leg room and good views of the stage. Parking is connected so no need to get wet at all if it rains.

For an out of London theatre it is pretty good. A modern building on three levels. Comfortable seating and a couple of bars. Generally offers the usual touring shows.
