What to know before you go

  • The performance is suitable for ages 5+, though slightly older children may enjoy it more. Note that children should be old enough to understand that the illusionists live on stage are experts and their acts of magic and illusion should not be attempted at home.
  • Its running time is 2 hours 15 minutes, including an interval.
  • The show is performed at the Palace Theatre, one of the West End's larger venues, with a capacity of 1,400 spread across four levels.
  • Try to arrive around half an hour before the start of your performance as latecomers will not be admitted until the interval.
  • There is an accessible toilet at the rear of the Stalls and more toilets on all levels.
  • Bars can be found on all levels of the Palace Theatre. They are however, not accessible, so wheelchair users should contact a member of staff for assistance buying refreshments.
  • A member of staff at the front entrance or Box Office will be able to grant access to the wheelchair-accessible side entrance on Shaftesbury Avenue.
  • The main entrance has 20 steps so guests with limited mobility may enter the Stalls via the foyer. There are more stairs to the Dress Circle, Upper Circle and Balcony.
  • Note that there is a 3cm step to the Stalls. All Stalls aisle seats are suitable for anyone who wishes to transfer from their wheelchair.
  • Aisle seats are recommended for guide dog users, though a dog sitting service is also available if you'd prefer.
  • A Williams Sound hearing assistance system is available.
  • There are lots of brilliant restaurants nearby spanning a range of cuisines and dietary requirements, from popular chains like Nando's and Patty & Bun, to themed restaurants like Hard Rock Cafe or Rainforest Cafe, and unique offerings like The Coach and Horses, which is London's first vegetarian and vegan pub.

Getting there

  • The Palace Theatre can be found at 113 Shaftesbury Avenue, London W1D 5AY, in the heart of the West End.
  • The theatre is well connected by public transport and is close to multiple Tube stations, including Leicester Square (Northern and Piccadilly lines) and Tottenham Court Road (Central and Northern lines), both of which are under a five-minute walk away.
  • Charing Cross station (Bakerloo and Northern lines and National Rail services) is only a 12-minute walk away if you're travelling by train.
  • As it's such a central location, there are lots of bus routes that stop nearby too, including the 14, 19, 24, 29, 38, 55, 73, 98, 176 and 390.
  • It's recommended you travel by public transport, but if you're driving, Q-Park Chinatown is a three-minute walk away and Q-Park Covent Garden is seven minutes away on foot.
  • Q-Park’s Theatreland Parking Scheme saves you 50% on the cost of parking after 12pm for up to four hours. You just need to validate your Q-Park car park ticket at the Palace Theatre box office and the car park machine will automatically remove 50% when you exit.
  • Soho Square has a few parking meters but spaces usually fill up quickly. NCP Brewer Street is also only a six-minute walk.
