Full description

Vígszínház, the Comedy Theatre, is an ornate late nineteenth-century venue designed by the architects Fellner & Helmer, standing on the Nagykörút in Budapest's XIII district. It stages mainly Hungarian drama and comedy, so most performances are in Hungarian.

Reviewers praise the elegant atmosphere, acoustics and professional staff, along with the quality of the actors. Views can be limited from the top floor, though cushions are provided for children.

Performances usually run around two and a half hours in the evening, and booking in advance is recommended for popular productions.

Reviews

Impressive venue. A bit hard to see from the top floor (especially with kids), but they give out pillows for kids to sit higher. After the show, make sure you get to the bathroom fast if needed, to avoid being thrown out for staying too much.
