I love the atmosphere in the Playhouse, it's always excellent. The quality of shows is, also, excellent.

The problems for me, though, are twofold- access & movement around inside are awful- allowing people into the foyer before the house is open is a mistake, it makes for an appalling, uncomforta...

A fantastic venue! I wish it had a little bit more leg room in some of the seats but it's so central and makes it so easy to have dinner and a movie right in the middle of town. Their selection of things to see is always fantastic as well.

I have been here several times to see musicals/shows. Seats are comfortable. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Refreshments are a bit costly. There are bars serving various alcoholic & non alcoholic drinks, crisps, popcorn etc & stands selling ice cream. You can also pre-order your refreshments v...

Dave Gorman was hilarious. It was a great night. Expensive drinks but it's to be expected I suppose. The venue is beautiful was in the circle it was a fantastic view and felt very much part of the show, especially during Dave's giraffe joke my goodness that was something else!

Really great help with disabled patrons. The staff really went out their way to accommodate my blind friend. First time using the Ambassador Lounge and the two gents running the place were super attentive and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyable evening.

This is a great venue in Edinburgh. I have only been for comedy gigs, but they really do get the big names in... Louis C.K, Ricky Gervais & Chris Rock to name a few I have been to see there.

The venue is getting a wee bit worn but pulls it off. The prices to buy anything there are ridiculous e.g....

Nice venue, easy to navigate and with good seating placement.

Brilliant lion king performance.

Brilliant lion king performance.
It's a shame the recommended ages for the shows aren't enforced... the very small children screaming because they couldn't sit for so long was annoying

Was really disappointed in the rules and regulations imposed in the theatre tonight during The Mowtown Musical.

For a action packed musical and for the staff being instructed to " actually throw " people out of the theatre for a singing along to the music!!

This totally ruined the non existent...

Was at the venue for many concerts over the years and I have always been very well impressed with the team working, we recently took my brother in law who has downs and they were very helpful in getting him to our seats and asked us at the interval if we were okay
