Saw Chicago, it was absolutely fabulous. The cast was brilliant. Ambience in the theatre was brilliant. Very Harry Potteresque , proper feeling it theatre. Was definately worth the trip from north Wales. More

Our main complaint was the “greenhouse atmosphere” which at one point had my wife on the verge of passing out. The lack of effective air conditioning might be... More

Booked as a gift for my daughter for christmas, expecting to see 'Ugly Betty & Darius' but they had gone. Not sure of the names of the leads, the one was bridesmaid in Mama Mia, the lead male was Stuart Naysmith character out of Dream Team and he was absolutely brilliant. I wasn't sure of what to expect myself because... More

I went to see the matinee performance of chicago and i was quite disappointed with it considering the amount of money it cost to go! I am a regular theatre go-er so i always try and buy the best seats, these ones cost £80 each. As far as the theatre goes it was small but comfortable and we had a... More

The show as very disappointing...the cast didn't seem very interested in the show, the singing was average and the dancing was average. No costume changes or fancy set design and I have seen better productions of this show at colleges and... More

I went to see the Pygmalion with a few friends, expecting all the cliches of 'My fair lady', but what I actually saw was an exquisite, clever revision of it. The scenography was interesting and well formulated. The library room created an intense atmosphere & was really well reproduced. The actors worked as a tight team and they couldn't have... More
