We received this lovely review from Paul on our Facebook this morning, it’s made our day!
There’s also a picture below, taken by Paul, of Brian Roche as Manuel at the Floral Pavillion.
Our London West End residency in this wonderful 4* hotel re-opened on 18 January. With January shows sold out, now’s the time to book for dates up until the end of August. There’s a new menu and a 20% discount on room rates if you quote ‘Faulty Towers’ at time of booking. For FAQ, concessions, group rates and gift vouchers, click here.
You guessed it! It’s the fabulous Royal Albert Hall, and we’re thrilled to be appearing there 4-8 May – it’s a hugely exciting debut for us, and a first for them to have our kind of show. As always, there’s more info about us on our main site. Bookings are open now. Tickets are available only through the Royal Albert Hall itself.
And guess what? We’re returning to Sydney Opera House in June, too! Just watch this space…

CHARING CROSS HOTEL
This wonderful, 4* listed building has been our London home all year. While O’Reilly was away this summer, the hotel had a grand refurbishment. Sybil loves the pink: it matches her favourite lipstick!
