La Petite Soirée was everything I hoped it would be and more. This extraordinary cabaret show deserves every award and glowing review it has ever received.
Upon arriving at the beautifully
refurbished Aldwych theatre in central London my family's expectations were a
mixed bag. I'd done some research so I sort of knew what we were heading in to
see but my family had no real idea apart from the little I'd told them and you
really can't do it justice until you've seen the spectacular for yourself. The
girls were up for the ‘posh circus’ as they'd named it and I could see that my
husband and 14 year old son were reserving judgement.
We headed in to collect our tickets,
not knowing what the PR agency had booked for us and were pleased to find we
had ringside seats. These are general admission seats so we were given a
wristband and able to take a seat wherever we fancied within the ringside area.
Our arrival at 2.40pm (20 minutes before the show started) gave us a good pick
of the seats but the closest we could get was 4 rows from the front. I'd
imagine you’d need to be at the theatre about another 20 minutes earlier to get
front row seats but of course you also need to be prepared to join in and be a good
sport if you sit in the front row!
