Seen many excellent production over the years
There are bars and toilets everywhere. It's fucking confusing, and means you spend half an hour running up and down stairs to try and find where you're going. I love it :)
Be one of the first to view our brand new First Family Entertainment Panto DICK WHITTINGTON advert http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbxpz8g4hb8&feature=youtu.be We love it!
Bit cramped in the entrance, and access to theatre bars is limited. Much prefer the Palace or the Lowry!
Old theatre with its own character and a good season
Nice venue, reasonable amount of leg room in stalls seats which is good for an old venue

You can pick up pre-booked tickets from the Opera House counter when it opens, don't trek all the way to the Box Office at The Palace .

The first low in the gallery , bannister is a bit high for children.
A great view from the top. Not so great if you get easy vertigo. Toilets could be a bit more hygienic for such a swanky venue.
Huge ticket booking fees.
Seats suck but the preformance makes up for it
Watching Cinderella In Hollywood
It looks like the building needs a refurbishment..
Don't use the ancient lift, it's a deathtrap!
Dont fall over in the middle of the aisle
Avoid stalls left. The sewage pipes are smelly
Awful ladies' loos too!
