What is this place?
The Broadway Theatre is a Grade II-listed theatre in the heart of Catford, presenting live music, comedy and theatre. Its most useful evergreen feature for families is a quiet space available during ALL performances — a space away from the auditorium with somewhere to sit. It offers a free companion or personal-assistant ticket for disabled people who need someone with them, and a hearing loop in the Main Auditorium, Studio Theatre and Box Office. Step-free access is scoped: the box office and bar are step-free, and the Front Stalls is the ONLY area with step-free access — there is no lift to the Dress Circle or Circle; platform lifts serve entry to the Main Auditorium and Studio Theatre, and wheelchair-accessible toilets are available. The Christmas pantomime lists a signed and relaxed performance on Wednesday 30 December at 5pm; however, the venue’s page gives the date as ‘Wednesday 30 December’ WITHOUT a year (the run is 9–31 December), so — because the year isn’t explicitly published — we keep this on the profile and do NOT list it in the dated What’s On feed. No Changing Places or ear defenders are mentioned.
