The theatre lights flare as you step from the Piccadilly pavement into a warm, low-lit dining room — a drink in hand and the city’s hum nudging you toward the West End. Your evening begins at Gaucho Piccadilly with a focused pre-theatre menu and a welcome Prosecco, cocktail or soft drink, then continues the few-minute stroll to His Majesty’s Theatre where the Phantom waits in shadow.
