Beautiful venue with excellent acoustics and views . The foyer is spacious , and the bar stocks Glengoyne whisky … what’s not to love? ????????

Favourite Theatre in Edinburgh , the renovation (a few years ago now) was so well done

Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts

At just over 2,500 square feet it is the largest performance area in Scotland, second only to the Royal Opera House in the UK, and is established as one of the country 's most prestigious venues.

Fantastic night out in a very nice theatre ????

Samantha Eburu

Very disappointed in the staff they were more interested in having a chat that they forgot to do thier jobs. People where talking and filming the show (swan lake )

Great student discounts and there's almost always something great showing. Musicals , plays, ballets , orchestras...

Richard Findlay

Probably the most uncomfortable theatre in Edinburgh - you'll have chronic bum fatigue after about 40 mins. Also sight lines in stalls are not good due to bad rake.
