"Thanks for a great site - a true asset to the Internet".

"Theatre bookings will never be the same again since I've found you. I cannot praise your website or your company enough. Congratulations from a grateful theatre fan."

"Many thanks for a helpful site. Thanks to your information I avoided buying bad tickets from a Norwegian ticket-agency. Instead I ordered in the UK, and got lovely seats at a lower price!

Will be coming back to London, and will surely go to the theatre again. And this time Theatremonkey.com is a must. Keep up the good work!"

"Being a first-time London Theatre virgin - your site and seating info was invaluable. Thanks for the effort!"

"We don't get to go to the theatre in Town as much as we would like, living out in the darkest Home Counties, but when we do, it helps to have friendly and accurate advice about the best seats to try for. You  have guided us to excellent seats each time. And recently, you saved us £60 on tickets to 'We will Rock You' by steering us to an offer."

"Many many thanks; will pass the word around on your very helpful and informative website."

"love the site, hugely informative, I know where I'm going now"

"Thank you for putting together such a completely brilliant website. It is soooooo useful and gives information impossible to find elsewhere...a happy monkeyess who is off to the theatre"

"I wish I had found your site a long time ago...Your information is superb"

"What a FABULOUS website, I chanced upon it and found it to be a treasure of information....allowing me to make up my mind about what seats I wanted to get."

"Intrigued and impressed by your thorough website"

"your site was the first one that seemed to be genuinely concerned about the theatre-goer"

"Hats off, this is a fantastic site. The content is everything I would want to know, quickly, easily and in one place."

"Just wanted to tell you how brilliant your site is -
in particular the seat recommendations. It's so hard,
when visiting a new theatre, to know which seats to
book.... I just wanted to let you know it's not just tourists who use theatremonkey. You're fab. I recommend you to everyone!"

"fabulous site, having never been to the theatre before this year, it is wonderful to have some independent advice on the shows themselves and the details of how to get the best value for money. You are to be congratulated on how well this site works"

"one of the UK's best theatre web sites"

"Thanks to your best seat info and all-encompassing details about
the shows and theatres in the West End, I've not only gotten to see every show I've ever fancied, but also saw them with a great view for cheap prices! Theatremonkey.com is always the first thing I check when I want to go to the West End, because I know I'll be armed with only the best information possible."

"Three Cheers for Theatre Monkey.  Hip Hip, Hurrah; Hip Hip,
Hurrah; Hip Hip Hurrah. SUPERB site... I declare you a National Treasure." 

"I found Theatremonkey last year, just in time, Madonna had agreed to do a play "Up For Grabs" and I wanted to know what tickets to go for. Well, just before this, I'd found this fantastic website and it helped me to look at seating plans.

I'd been to the theatre a number of times before and just had to take 'pot luck' with seats. Now I have the use of what i would vote the Best web site of the year (every year)

With the seating plans, the details about each seat (the good, the bad and the ugly), and all the other information that this website has, it's a 'must view' every time I want to see a show. And if I fancy a few shows and am going to try TKTS office for half price tickets, I print out the seating plans take them with me. That way, when they offer a seat, I can see if it's a true bargain or if I should look at another show that time round. TheatreMonkey Rules!" 
Alun Moss, Essex

"The information on your site is first class. Your site is SIMPLE and VERY effective. Your reviews I have found to be the most accurate. The seating information on your site is worth the visit alone".

"Thanks to theatremonkey's wonderful directions from the tube, I was able to actually find the theatre in plenty of time to collect my tickets. I am an American who visits London to see theatre and I never leave home without printing out my instructions on how to get there from the monkey".

"I still think this is the best site for theatre goers. I wish you every success".

"This is just to say what an excellent site you are running for all of us theatre goers. It's in-depth analysis of most of the London theatres is an excellent resource for getting the right tickets".

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for your website. I've been in London for just under two years and have used it countless times to find out about specials and seating in various theatres... Your site is fantastic and I recommend it to all of my friends".

"Your web site was such a big help in selecting, and buying, theater tickets. It was so nice to be able to look at the seating chart and choose the seat I wanted while speaking with the box office."

"I stumbled across it by accident, and it is simply brilliant, especially in terms of highlighting ‘good’ and ‘bad’ seats."

"have just had a great two week holiday in London an have spent a lot of it in and around the West End.

Your web site gave me so many hints and savings on tickets to the many shows in the West End that I saw many more shows than originally budgeted for."

"I cannot possibly tell you what a help your site was to me when I needed to make bookings for two shows for our upcoming visit to London. I had the 'scoop' on the best view, best prices, even tidbits such as which row had a bit more legroom!... I'd printed out seating charts of both venues, and marked up the pages as to where the prime seats were located. I felt like a pro when talking to the staff at the box office and I got exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much!!"

"A huge thank you for keeping theatremonkey up and running!!! every show I go to (which is quite a few) I check the seating layout, how to get there... everything...your site is never wrong!!!"

"It really is the bible of theatre." 

"As very regular theatre goers we NEVER book seats without consulting the monkey first for offers, seating plans etc. It is a wonderful resource which I tell everyone about who is interested in theatre."

"I'm planning my second trip to London with the express intent of overdosing on theatre, and I just wanted to drop a quick note to say THANK YOU very much for your wonderful website. I used it last March and was very pleased with the seats I got for every performance, and I'm sure I'll be similarly happy with the results this time."
