A great theatre - cafes and bars were good; excellent accessibility; plenty of seating areas. Good view of stage, good quality seats (comfortable enough for the 4 hours of Wagner!). The WNO production of Lohengrin was outstanding.

This is a wonderfully modern theatre with all the amenities you would expect. Well designed and clearly accessible on the outside, whilst retaining a traditional charm inside the theatre itself. Really good line up o shows too. Will go back.

Went to see Phantom of the Opera. Left it a bit late to book and didn't think the seats would be that good - wrong. I have finally found a seat where it doesn't matter how tall or wide the person in front is, you can see. Anyway, I digress, what a superb show. The cast were fabulous, what beautiful... More

Took my mum to see Hairspray here. We'd never been before and my mum suffers terribly with nerves and panic attacks so it was a big ordeal for her to attempt going. The lady on reception when I picked up the tickets was very friendly and noticed my mum struggling and reassured her all would be fine. We got to... More

Excellent location, lovely bar, good prices. Seats a bit cramped though... Like the idea you were given pots for pic n mix instead of rustling!

Saw the show yesterday and once again loved it! Delightful production with a great cast, costumes and staging. Mark Benton's understudy was excellent and we thought Marcus Collins was brilliant and well suited to his role. All in all a lovely production and as good as the West End version we saw in 2008.

We booked £26 seats to see Hairspray, row u in stalls. But view was fine. So don't worry if you can't get near the front. Theatre is not too big so we were not miles away from the stage even in u!
