FAQs
What is immersive theatre?
For this show you can choose an immersive, 'promenade' ticket onstage. If you do, you will not be in the spotlight but you will be close to the action and part of the crowd - for example in Alex's bar, as a guest at his birthday party and be truly immersed in the atmosphere of the Barcelona scene. Alternatively your can choose to sit in the usual auditorium - choose your seat on arrival. These seats are less fun, a bit more expensive but also give a great view of the stage! For safety and practical reasons it is not permitted to swap areas - if you have purchased a seat in the auditorium you cannnot swap to onstage and vice versa. All ticket holders will enjoy access to the onstage bar, can purchase tapas and enjoy live music in between the two acts.
SMILEY Suitability
Smiley is a gay romcom and as such includes some elements you'd expect - some strong language, sexual references, comedy, romance and, of course, some non-gratuitous nudity. On Netflix it is age guide 12+ so as a live show we would say 16+.
Start & Running Time - SMILEY
The expected running time of SMILEY is 90 minutes plus a 30 minute interval. Doors open 45 minutes before curtain up so that you can relax and have a drink in Alex's Barcelona Gay Bar - bar Ber! In the Interval you can also enjoy some tapas and a drink in the actual theatre. For start times please see the homepage or your tickets.

If you choose to attend a cheaper show, or then book fewer tickets, we regret that we do not refund the difference owing to the extra administrative costs incurred. We regret that we are not able to refund the €1.15/ticket booking fee to Eventix. This is because Eventix does not refund booking fees.
