A lovely theatre with a lot of charm. We were here July 2015 to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The theatre was clean and well cared for and staff incredibly kind. The seating was very tight and narrow, and I suspect could be limiting for some people. Our knees were crammed in front of us and the armrests dug into my hips. The show was fun - though it wasn’t my favourite arrangement of Joseph I’ve seen (having so many children play adult roles opposed to being the choir didn’t make for a more impressive production). But Joseph and the narrator were both excellent.
On this occasion visited to see the Tina Turner life story which was fantastic. High production values brilliant lighting and sound we quality. The real gem though is the auditorium itself. It's a masterclass of high victorian architecture. Even if live theatre isn't for you (and I pity you if that's the case) put yourself out and book to see anything. The building itself is the real star of the show.
Aladdin performance was amazing, literally had a magic carpet like flying over the audience (How is that even real??) Amazing stunts I must say, they even brought in a teacher from the performance to help them do some puns. Awesome. 10/10 would go again
Good venue, been lots of times. It's only issue, as with most older theatres, is leg room when seated. Also if you get a chunky monkey sat next to you, some of their chunk tends to trespass into your space.
A nice, small theatre venue with good views from most seats. We visited to watch a show and had no issues with our seats in Row P. The bar prices were reasonable and that staff were friendly when showing us to our seats. I would visit this theatre again if they had a production I wanted to see.
