A superb event in a magnificent venue. Maybe the band was not as good as usual but the DJ plays a great set of music.. A great night out as always.

On entering the venue you'll walk up several stairs and are then greeted by the door security and two friendly receptionists. A short walk further on to the right leads you to the Ladies Loo & Powder Room fitted with nice large mirrors and good lighting. Get changed from scratch or refresh one's make-up before making your grand entrance to the fabulous, large & quite plush ballroom with plenty of seating & tables. The bar staff are pretty quick & friendly, just don't ask for tap water as they want, in fact near enough insist that you to buy the plastic variety...Yuk! I like to dance quite a bit and the DJ played reasonable R&R & dance-to music, don't try & make a request as it will get ignored. The live band came on after a while and greeted people with "Hello everyone how the FU*K are you all" which I thought was rather unnecessary, followed by a few more 'FU*KS' along the way. Their music wasn't much to my liking either which at least gave me a chance to rest my achy feet. Luckily they didn't play for long. A good mix of friendly people, plenty of nice outfits and no hassle. It can get quite busy, fortunately the attendance was more on the comfortable side this time. All in all I went home pleased that I went albeit ending up with sore feet. I've been several times before. Well worth a visit. |

Another fun evening at Magic Theatre on 22 June 2013. With the long summer nights comes a lot of light so the turn out was lower than usual but the energy and ambiance of the Tivoli Ballroom still shone through. As usual the DJ pumped out some great tunes but for me at any rate the live band didn't deliver. What they actually achieved was to stop everyone dancing which I thought defeated the intention - maybe it's just me!! Anyway, undeterred, the evening progressed and I must applaud the ladies (and gents) who went to the trouble of dressing up - excellent effort indeed......especially......(no way - that would be telling :-) Here's to Halloweeen - see you there folks xXx |

Could I possibly have found a better venue for my debut outing? I seriously doubt it! It was perfect in so many ways: a beautiful period-piece treasure of a genuine ballroom; a complete spectrum of attendees, all simply enjoying the atmosphere; live music and disco; friendly staff. Miss Claire really is the hostess with the mostest! She greeted me and escorted me around the Theatre and sat with me until I found my feet (and my breath), and I was invited to join a table of TGirls, who were so friendly and welcoming. I was on my feet and dancing my stilettos off within the hour and had a thoroughly marvellous evening. The only regret is that it finished at 1am...:(... Will I go again? Just try and stop me! I'm a committed MT fan now, and thank everyomne for making it such a special evening. |

very friendly venue. My first time there and the staff made me feel very welcome. The band were very good and I talked to several people who had travel long distances to the venue. The place is very popular. Parking easy and found it on my satnav ok. I do think there is potential with lighting and changing the atmosphere for different themes. |

Slightly less well attended I think than the last and so a little less "buzz" but nevertheless, still one of the best trans/alternative venues in the South. The live band was very good. Looking forward to the next one. |

Another wonderful, fabulous, magical Magic Theatre ! ...as always !!....My home from home ! .......Thanks Claire ! xx Great, as always, to see such lovely regular (and first timer) friends there, and a couple of fab surprise chance meetings too ! .....and, ...how perfect (as well I know) a vnue, an event) for getting acquainted for the first time at length. Yet again, ...I already can't wait for the next one ! One question, though, .....although not scheduled to perform, ....did anyone see a certain 'Derek The Cat' jump through rings of fire, as I was told he might ? :) |

I'm a vintage girl, so right up my street, set in the only restored original dance hall in London, Probably the best night out in London. It's truly magical.

What an utterly fabulous evening! Great fun! Loved the vibe of the place, the swing band, the mix of people and the atmosphere, it was such fun. I hadn't been to The Magic Theatre before, but will certainly go again. It was different, fun and friendly and I managed to bump into a couple of friends I've made of late, so all in all it was a great evening. The queue for the bar could be quite long, but then again, you can always chat with your friends whilst waiting to be served can't you! Excellent night, thank you, I shall return!

Wow! This was my 1st time at the Magic Theatre, the venue is stunning 1920's-40's style with a very large dance floor and stage, where we were entertained by the Fabulous Lounge Swingers! I danced all night, and the only disappointment was the 1am finish! Can't wait for the next one It was definately Magic!! |

Beautiful venue an old fashioned dance hall, beautifully maintained and it really is like stepping back in time. t is that rarest of things an event with a real mix of people and genders all solely focussed on dressing up and having a great time. Lots of tgirls with partners, lots of girlies just there for a Dance and the chance to dress up. The minority were guys, how unusual is that? A must go event. If you havent tried it you really are missing out. The only downside is its a bugger to get to being sarf london and all But off street parking is fine. And they have a little publicised but huge changing room with lovely mirrors and lots of hangers Security was interesting, i didnt see any as there is absolutely no need for them |
