The Grand Theatre & Opera House Leeds

Not a good experience! The security has tried to embarrass me telling me to go downstairs to pay another seat as I’ve moved to transfer to another seat due to the lump post right on my face. I have to climbed one seat apart as I don’t want to disturb left and right side seats where people already have sat down and the show was about to start. The nasty security argued how would I know that the post was right through my face upon booking? It said viewing restrictions but no idea how bad it was. Who the hhhellllll was I paid £25 to see a lump post? The fact that there were plenty of empty seat around! In the contrary. The show and cast of Miss Saigon were fantastic. Leeds theatre was far better than palace theatre in Manchester tbh. But just the security must try to be considerate at times because I had to see him face to face after the show. Please do not try this again

Beautiful architecture first time visiting enjoyed it. Show was great however got front row seats thinking great but with the height of the stage struggling to see the back of the set. Next time a fees rows back.

Love this place but the pre drinks discount before the show is a terrible con. During the interval it's 10% more. Not good. Great show though

Howard Assembly Rooms for Pass the Spoon. Had a great time. Lovely venue and friendly staff. This photo was taken about 10 minutes before the performance started, hence the empty seats (which were full at the start).

We attended the Miss Saigon production at the Grand Theatre & Opera House Leeds. The theatre appeared to be well run and organised, security checks on entry and ticket checks once inside. There is at least one bar serving drinks, hot drinks and free water at pre performance and intermission. You can also get ice cream and a small selection of sweets from the carts and window hatch. Condition of the theatre is quite good, considering it's age, and the seats is shall we say 'snug' pretty much as you would expect - not great if you are a "big 'un". Our seats were mid row in the dress circle, have to say it was quite hot up there! Miss Saigon the performance was enjoyable with a good unrestricted view, albeit a little far away from the stage. There are a few seats with a restricted view, but they are identified on the seating plan when you book tickets. Overall a decent show, although we thought the "engineer's" solo performance was a little bit too elaborate and over the top! Great acting from the main characters, but the supporting actors were also good, even though they were not the main focus. Would we go again? Yes but down in the cooler stall seating.
