Regent's Park Open Air Theatre Reviews
Rated out of 5
Unique experience & great performance (Shucked). Comfortable seating for outdoor theatre. Good food and drink selection. Bathroom lines were quite long, so maybe could use a few more. Overall, a must do in London.

A beautiful open air theatre, situated in the heart of Regent’s Park. A magical setting, on a perfect May evening.
An unexpected visit to see “Shucked”, a musical all about Corn. Set in a small town, somewhere in Hicksville USA, there’s plenty of Country & Western style songs, superbly choreographed dancing and a continual stream of “corny jokes”
A very talented cast of actors, in particular Georgina Onuorah, who plays “Lulu” , who has an amazingly powerful voice. Ben Joyce, as “ Beau”, who is the jilted lover and Keith Ramsay, who plays “Peanut”, who kept up a barrage of one liner jokes with a totally deadpan expression.
Highly recommend seeing this show, which will make you laugh and smile, but only if you like corn

Great and unique day out for a preview performance of Shucked. Perfect weather, good service and decent facilities. Good for family night out as alternative to the West End. Highly recommended to book your ticket when there is performance.

Shucked was outstanding!!! As someone who saw it on Broadway too, happy to say it did not lose much quality at all and the outdoor experience was exceptional and lovely! Would absolutely return.

How to get to Regent's Park Open Air Theatre by Tube
From Baker Street Station exit onto Baker Street and go to your right (north) until you can see Regent's Park ahead and to your right. Double back slightly to the pedestrian crossing and cross over to the park. Make your way to the foot bridge just inside the park, walk across and follow the path to your left on the other side keeping alongside the trees. When you get to the Inner Circle cross the road and continue along the path on far side. At the 'T' (just past the Park Cafe), go left and follow that path to the theatre entrance.
