This is an amazing building full of history (and it's share of ghosts so they say). Having watched my brother perform here many years ago, it holds special memories for me. The domed roof and walls are stunning with its gold and deep red decor. I recently watched The Jersey Boys here, and enjoyed it so much that I went straight back into the box office after the show finished and booked up again to watch it the next week! So much history here but please remember that it is a very old building and so hasn't got the disabled facilities of newer buildings. I did once watch a show from up in The Gods and hobbled up the many narrow stairs on crutches, but wouldn't recommend doing that. Definitely a lovely place to go for the history or a family day out or evening with friends. You can pre order drinks for the interval too as its much easier than fighting your way to the bar.
