Festival City Theatres Trust - Festival and King's Theatres Edinburgh Reviews

First rate performance of Romeo and Juliet by Northern Ballet and watched in great comfort.

Great theatre space and wonderful production of Mozart's 'Magic Flute' by Scottish Opera to an amazingly full house. Well done Derek Clark and all of SO!!

Fantastic venue, friendly and helpful staff, saw les miserables fantastic show as you would expect, highly recommended

The staff was so helpful and nice. The theatre was so beautiful.

Love the contemporary facade mixed with the original interior. Shame about the 'stuffy' Edinburgh audiences.

Great show, toilets leave a lot to be desired, very grubby, dirty.

Amazing. Went to see Misagon it was amazing going back again

Excellent service very enjoyable experience theatre very clean and tidy.

Went to Jools Holland & Jazz festival, Superb, Theatre itself is excellent, lot's of toilets, access through rising large open staircase, which is bright & airy, great for those feel claustrophobic in crowds, Seat's comfortable, but not so much that you feel asleep, bar on ground & first floor, can't take glass into theatre, but there were plastic tumblers beside entrance to theatre itself.

Took my 5 year old daughter. Staff were super nice and offered us better seats as tickets were returned on the day.
Great facilities, clean. Pricey but worth it on those special family occasions.

A state of the art theatre with a historic interior containing Britain's largest stage. Hosts the best touring dance, theatre, musicals and operas

Been here a few times now and every time has been brilliant. Even with a technical hutch in the first half of our performance did not dampen our enjoyment.

We saw Ghost the Musical which was good but the location helped us enjoy it with the atmosphere.

Lovely venue, good size and bar isn't too expensive!

Great venue, clean, comfortable and good staff. If there is a show your interested in, this is the perfect venue.

Wonderful venue. Download the Capital theatre bar app to avoid interval drinks queues

Excellent Theatre venue, pulls in the best shows from across the globe.
Staff are very professional, extremely helpful and show great knowledge about the theatre.
Would recommend highly!

Nice theatre with a (albeit over-priced cafe.) I went here during EIFF and while service was good the seats don't have much legroom and it is pretty cramped and stuffy. However the theatre itself is beautiful and the films were good.

Ghost...What a great performance and clever stage set-up. Festival Theatre...I believe!!!!

Very good service for interval drinks using the festival theatre app and getting 20% off the first time

Fantastic performance of The marriage of Figaro. Beautiful architecture.

Apart from the theatre there is a small but very pleasant cafe in the foyer which is open Monday to Saturday.

Brilliant theatre , good staff evicting foolish people trying to spoil others nights . Too much alcohol in an elderly man foolish person . Les Miserables amazing x

Excellent show Simon and garfunkel by bookends the 2 guys were brilliant

Fabulous. I go, at this time, every year to the ballet. The seating ensures a clear view of the stage. Acoustics are great. Will be back next year.

Went to see Six. Great staff who assisted us as one of the party were on crutches. Go to see this show it is great

The place is big , beautiful old theater. Nice and friendly personnel, very beautiful place. The seats are very old, old style theater. You'll find all the facilities inside, including the bar to eat or drink something. We found a good price as well for the show, buying the group on coupon, so it was also cheap. There are many shows of movies, very good and rich timetable.

Clean & tidy, friendly & efficient staff, welcoming, nice cafe which sells soft & alcoholic drinks, coffee/tea, cakes/biscuits. Nice clean premises, great shows - what is there NOT to like?

Saw SIX here and loved it. It's surprising that its such an old theatre as from the outside it looks so new. Bars were efficient and the toilets were actually pretty good for a theatre!

My favourite Edinburgh theatre - but not happy at having to surrender liquids at the door without a decent rationale.

Just watched les meserables, absolutely outstanding. X

Spotlessly clean theatre, we ordered an interval drink via the app and there was a member of staff there to ensure that your drink wasn't picked up by someone else in error . Loads of ladies toilets which were also very clean

Excellent place, nice seating arrangement as well!!

wonderful customer service and support when I became ill during a performance.kindness and consideration was unsurpassed.

I love this theatre. Warhorse was amazing and every level of the theatre, there is a bar so no busy queue

Very good atmosphere but seats higher up are not as easy to see from . They also have no legroom at all.

First visit to the ballet. Excellent all round. The theatre itself is lovely. Modern exterior with modern and historic interior. Loved it

Nice theatre with good facilities seats are more comfortable than most other theaters.

We had a great experience going to see Swimming Wiith Men at the Festival Theatre Edinburgh, thanks to manager Ythan Baird. We phoned the same day as my son could only mobilise on crutches. Ythan couldn't have been more helpful, accommodating us in a VIP box and meeting us in the foyer on arrival. The film got 5 stars from us too. A feelgood evening all round!

Great venue for dance performances. Bar is worth visiting too and good seating looking out.

First rate night at the opera! A gripping and memorable performance of Eugene Onegin.

Great views of the stage from all the seats I've had the fortune to sit in through the years

Fabulous inside very fun. Minus 1 star for the very uncomfortable seating.

Comfortable, good for disabled access and parking. Great view of stage

Nice bistro and friendly staff. Theatre has a great atmosphere and seating has great views no matter where u sit.

Great show, spoilt by one ignorant staff member and 4 inconsiderate women talking throughout the show

Wonderful evening at Festival Theatre, Edinburgh, watching the ballet, "Beauty and The Beast". Awesome.

Excellent theatre. All modern and up to date at front with old style auditorium and new seats. Very comfortable and good view from everywhere.

Lovely modern theatre. Went to see les miserables. Great views from 3 rd level up live band was great too.

Love the festival theatre was there last night seeing thriller live fantastic

Beautiful traditional theatre with a very modern exterior. The staff are very helpful and the seating is typically good.

Absolutely first class evening at last performance of Les Mis. Great pity we couldn't have been rewarded with a finale encore.

Beautiful theatre. Les Miserables was fantastic great staging good venue.

Superb experience. Up to and including all the exit doors being open at the end of the performance. This does not happen at Glasgow theatres.

I was thinking it was a bit of a surprise as I did not expect it to about the Germans

Large capacity theatre with a big stage, ideal for dance, musicals and opera. Auditorium is traditional style and contrasts with the bright and airy foyers. No parking onsite. Loads of bus routes stop outside.

Love this place! Historical - a bit shabby in places. Fab range of shows
