Thank you so much for telling us about the loo by the fire exit stalls Old Vic. Brilliant. Saved such a bother. I noticed one or two other people knew about it at the end of the show so let's not spread the word too far. This is what the board is for, no?

Oh. Thanks for bringing this thread up. I meant to bring it up a couple of weeks ago when I saw The Go-Between. Only one cubicle for all the men in the audience (Stalls and Dress Circle combined). Please tell me there are more toilets available if the Upper Circle is available (or do they call it The Grand Circle?)?

This is very funny. Would make a good comedy sketch in itself. Silly girl. Apparently Sheridan walked the streets unable to face his audience for School for Scandal which was a success and is a brilliant play. What I want to know is why artistic directors don't tell their writers that their work is not up to scratch when the occasions warrants.

Does the Chocolate Factory count as a toilet? Anyway, @parsley, I don't know if you're a boy or a girl (though I have my suspicions ) but shouldn't this really be entitled which do people think is the most relaxing toilet queue?

I've always sat in the circle at Wicked until my 5th visit last Saturday. The male toilets I ended up in in the stalls had only one cubicle and then a load of urinals but of course everyone wanted to use the cubicle! That's probably why the show started five minutes late. Are there any other male toilets in the stalls?

Some premium seat tickets include the option for ushers to go to the toilet for you during the interval. Much more relaxing.

At the ladies toilets...
The Vaudeville toilets (I sat in the dress circle, but I'm not sure which toilets I used) were nice.
The Garrick, grand circle, not that good: flush barely worked. The following year I sat in the stalls, but I couldn't find the toilets at that level, so I went upstairs to the dress circle and again I couldn't find the toilets (see, I'm not good at finding toilets), so I went straight to the grand circle toilets, which at least I knew where they were. As the previous year, the flush basically didn't work (and I'm not sure it was the same cubicle).
At the Barbican I was in the grand circle but again I'm not sure about which toilets I used, as I wandered a bit, but I think they were downstairs. Bad. Broken flush again. Seriously.
Queing took about 5 minutes each time.

I'm not sure if it is a secret toilet but it certainly seemed like it. When I was at 42nd Street the other week, rather than using the loos through the main doors to the left of the auditorium I went down a corridor at the back left of the stalls. There didn't seem to be anything other than the toilets down there so it was completely empty. Not sure if there is a female equivalent there but definitely one to remember for the gents if the main ones are too busy.
Always good when there are multiple about to spread the people about. A bit of logic always helps too. Upstairs loos at the Lyttelton are always far emptier than the downstairs ones with there being fewer people up there.

Too funny "Secret toilet" Like secret cinema The best environment Is Large individual cubicle With floor to ceiling door preferable NO gaps Particularly NOT at the bottom DISGUSTING Calming music in background Not doors banging to distract and startle Leads to Constipation and interruptions Thick rolls of toilet paper Quilted NOT toilet tissues Not arse scraping towels Moist towelettes or even better bidet Flush which is powerful and large in volume And a cistern which fills rapidly allowing multiple flushes in quick succession No one wants to see the past persons pooh floating A fresh smell in the basin area Citrusy A bonus is large cubicle with own sink The fewer the urinals the better Rancid smell

The Palladium seems to have a never-ending number of ladies toilets at the back of the stalls along the staircase that leads to the street - including two entrances to separate sets of toilets right beside each other.

O goodie, someone has started a thread on one of my favourite theatre topics. Before I forget there is a toilet on the left front facing stalls at Old Vic that not many know about. As the loos at the Old Vic are terrible, I thank whoever it was told me about this. It was on the board here. So Old Vic terrible position downstairs for stalls and cramped entrance as ladies' shared with men's. Donmar, well, quite a challenge for the over size 10 lady with weird step inside the cubicle. Stupid, stupid queues at National Lyttleton because despite their attempts to open more ladies' loos the positioning is cramped and there is always a line into the foyer. At the Olivier you have to go into the theatre to visit the loo and so have to wait til they let you in. Uh? As I have said the Dorfman foyer is like a funeral parlour. Almeida now quite nice with lovely big pictures of actresses on the doors. RSC one of my regular haunts has put those noisy driers in and it makes for a very hassled and stressful experience. Keep em coming.

On this topic, I find it difficult to urinate in urinals in public toilets, so often end up holding on for the cubicle, which A) makes me look like I'm cottaging and B) can be fruitless as I've waited copious amounts of time for the present occupant to leave, just so I can wee! It was after this very situation that I discovered the upstairs loos at the Lyttelton.
