Wheelie Good SHOW

 Access Overview 

​

We were seated in the dress circle in Seats C25 and C24. Access to the dress circle is via a side door. The corridors leading to the Seats are narrow, uneven and steep but my Quickie Q100R managed fine. If you have a wider chair you might want to contact the theatre first in order to check widths. I would advise this if you are booking a box as well as the door widths look quite narrow. The Aldwych have good access guides to all seats, click below to see a guide.​

Access Host 

We were met at the front of the theatre and escorted round to the side. They asked if we wanted to wait until everyone had left to get the chair at the end of the performance as it had to be stored at the front of the building in the corridor. We were not checked on during the show or assisted at the end. My carer had to go and find the chair in order to return it to me. We were also not asked if we wanted to remain in the chair or transfer, I had assumed that I would remain I the chair but will definitely contact the theatre in advance next time. 

Toilet Facilities 

The accessible toilet was located in the corridor on the way to the dress circle is exclusive for access patrons. The toilet is a good size but the actual toilet is quite tight to the wall and this is the only toilet where I have accidentally triggered the emergency pull cord alarm!  

​

The entrance to the toilet is a very steep ramp due to the historic design and layout of the theatre so you may require additional support to access it.
