Most of the 39 Steps reviews we have come across rate this London play eighty percent or better. They agree about the fact that the actors spoke clearly (sometimes a problem with plays) and were enthusiastic and energetic about their acting.
A good number of 39 Steps reviewers consider the play to be light-hearted and even funny – one reviewer even termed it hilarious, which may be a touch of an exaggeration.
Some of the 39 Steps reviews made a point of the fact that this play has been running for a long time and, while it is generally well attended, you will find empty seats particularly on matinees. One particular reviewer booked two seats that were advertised as having a restricted view but said that, because there were some empty seats in the more expensive parts of the Criterion Theatre, they were allowed to sit in them and enjoy a great view of the stage – not bad for only £12.50 per ticket!
One of the people who posted a 39 Steps review wrote that they bought tickets on a whim while in central London to ‘kill an afternoon’, without having read any ‘professional’ reviews in the press and found that it made the weekend for him and his three friends. They found the play to fast-paces, gripping, not too long and entertaining all the way. Ironically somebody thanked this reviewer for posting a ‘real’ review by a ‘real’ person.
Very few people who wrote a 39 Steps review made negative comments about this London play that has been running at the Criterion Theatre for a long while and is due to continue showing well into 2011.
