Born in London in 1983, Matt Willis is an English singer and actor. 

Willis found fame as one-third of British boyband Busted. Formed in 2000, the award-winning band released tracks including “Year 3000” and “What I Go To School For."  After splitting in 2005, Willis went solo and released his 2006 album, aptly named Don’t Let It Go To Waste. The band Busted eventually came together after a decade, releasing their latest album in 2018.

In 2010, Willis made his West End debut in *Flashdance* at the [Shaftesbury Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/shaftesbury-theatre). He played Nick Hurley in the limited run, in a production which [London Theatre praised](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/flashdance-the-musical) as having "an underlying grittiness which is both realistic and convincing." The following year, he took over the role of Fiyero in *[Wicked](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/wicked)*, continuing in the production for over a year.

More recently, Willis has starred in *[Little Shop of Horrors](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/little-shop-of-horrors)* at [Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/regents-park-open-air-theatre). [London Theatre raved](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/reviews/review-little-shop-of-horrors-at-regents-park-open-air-theatre) that Willis “shows a fearless enthusiasm to play the fool and shows off a versatility of caricatures and accents, as demented dentist Orin in the first half and a host of other over-the-top figures in the second half.”  He returned to the West End to play Bob Cratchit in *[A Christmas Carol](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/a-christmas-carol-the-musical-staged-concert)* at the [Dominion Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/dominion-theatre). In 2021, he played Dr. Pomatter in the UK tour of *[Waitress](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/show/waitress)*.

When the Criterion Theatre first opened in 1873, the space was designed as a concert hall. The Criterion Theatre is the only West End theatre to be situated almost entirely underground — even the Upper Circle is not at street level. 

The Criterion Theatre housed comic opera in its early years, including works by W. S. Gilbert and George Grossmith. A decade after opening, the theatre had to be renovated to meet the Metropolitan Board of Works standards for ventilation. This work also saw the installation of electricity to the theatre. The building surrounding the theatre was extensively rebuilt between 1989 and 1992, but the Victorian auditorium was well-preserved and still stands today. 

Notable shows at the Criterion Theatre include *The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)* by the Reduced Shakespeare Company, the long-running play *The 39 Steps* and Mischief Theatre's *The Comedy About A Bank Robbery*.

## Criterion Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has three levels – Stalls, Dress Circle and Upper Circle.

The front rows of the Stalls offers good views of the stage, though the seating is not raked steeply. 

The Dress Circle has specifically designated ‘restricted view’ seats due to the number of pillars supporting the Upper Circle in Row C.

The Upper Circle offers unrestricted theatre views.
