Show Quality
Pros:
"The show is incredible. Steve is amazing and has such an amazing presence on the stage."
"Absolutely worth every penny like watching a west end show cast brilliant comedians hilarious if you are in the area and want a good night out try the theatre."
"Saw the Starlight Show on Tues 19th of April. Wow! what a wonderful show, fantastic dance numbers visually stunning and also some great original comedy routines."
"The musical content was also the best yet, amazingly strong vocals from all the cast with modern, classic and big show tunes."
"The singing and comedy was of such talent it would grace the Royal Variety Show."
"Absolutely fabulous 'Starlight' a show to remember! Superb vocals, amazing dancers, excellent comedy from start to finish."
"The amount of talent in the cast was incredible and the comedy was brilliant."
Cons:
"Last year's Boxing Day I saw the show and it was brilliant, however I was extremely disappointed yesterday (boxing Day 2018), really poor, many jokes/tricks repeated from last yr, scenery poor."
"We found it lacking in style, two of the singers had no diction and no charisma, the dancers kept going wrong and clearly needed more practise."
"Whole show needs a shake up, sorry not impressed."
"What a shame. Great show beautiful singing but won't be returning as the management now allow people to take photos and videos using mobile phones."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"All of the staff were friendly and chatty."
"The theatre staff was helpful and friendly."
"The Staff are always very nice."
"The staff at Theatre was very helpful and friendly."
"The staff are outstanding with their service, particularly a lady called Maria."
"Very friendly staff."
"Staff are friendly, attentive and helpful."
Cons:
"Communication not the best... no email about change if meet and greet then no communication at end of show what we were supposed to do or go for it."
"The only downside is their booking website, you cannot book a particular seat/s online, that can only be done via booking office."
Accessibility and Facilities
Pros:
"As there are no stairs inside it is perfect for those with mobility problems."
"Simple to book online but look for the seating plan and choose your preferred seating."
"Even had space for my mobility scooter."
"Theatre has no internal steps, just a gentle slope."
"Staff found me an end seat as I was on crutches due to a knee op."
"The theatre is very comfortable, especially as I am disabled and find sitting difficult."
Cons:
"The disabled access presented me as a wheelchair pusher are very dangerous situation."
"The chairs are much too close together and only 3 toilets for the whole theatre."
"Ladies toilets were a nightmare tho. Had to escort the wife into the gents very limited."
"The theatre shouldn't sell seats that put you directly behind a pillar with a very poor view of the stage."
Value for Money
Pros:
"What a great place to visit... the show was fantastic it was called I love Christmas. The ticket price was extremely reasonable would love to visit again."
"Absolutely loved our visit on Wednesday evening, superb show, well worth the entrance fee."
Cons:
"Paid to park, round the corner car park which is 24 hour parking, quite expensive & not a lot of parking there."
"Why is there a £2 fee for booking each ticket online? Surely the process to issue 3 tickets is no more costly than to issue 1?"
Ambience and Comfort
Pros:
"Great atmosphere and lots of character in the building."
"A lovely intimate theatre."
"Lovely theatre. Small and compact, sometimes better than the larger theatres."
"Great oldy worldly theatre. Watched a good old fashioned variety show and it was very good the cast all worked so hard."
"Good acoustics and although we were at the back viewing was unrestricted."
Cons:
"Only complaint was that there was no social distancing even though there were very few people in the audience."
"The seats are plush but could do with a little more leg room."
"PLEASE get some air conditioning or at least ventilation!"
"The seating both size and comfort are very outdated and badly need a refurb."
