I bought front row seats to take friends to see a comedy classic. I was so embarassed, the actors performed good in character but the script was diabolical. We along with others left at the interval, sad to see such a superb location host such a pathetic performance

One of the best Theatres I've been too and it never disappoints . The shows and the staff have always been spot on in my view and the Auditorium is stunning and this place always keeps variety alive .
