  Cons:

  • "Leg room is limited(reference photo),if you are taller.totally recommend getting an aisle seat.And toilet queues are super long."
  • "Loved the old theatre and atmosphere, production was good but the sound let it down you couldn't hear what they were singing a lot of the time it distorted as too loud."
  • "Theatre was nice. Very small front room before you get to seats."
  • "Toilets clogged up during the interval. They are still the originals."
  • "Largely overrated show. I love musicals, but this one was honestly terrible. The singing was bad, more like screeching and shouting."
  • "The toilets are small and as always a queue to the ladies. Worse if your seating stage left, it's a quick dash before the break is over."
  • "Entering the building is a hassle. Long queues at the bathroom, expensive drinks and snacks, especially given the fact that the drinks were not cold enough."
  • "The show was great, unfortunately when we arrived there were other people sitting in our seats who wouldn't move, instead of moving these people, we where put in different seats."
