Absolutely fantastic! 'You Know We Belong Together'

At the beginning, there were unforeseen circumstances and the performer had to learn a new script from scratch. You wouldn't have known because she was fantastic.

Christmas Carol

The show was good but compared to previous theatre experiences elsewhere there was no extra help offered from the box office to find seats, attend the toilets or get refreshments. In other places I've been escorted to my seat and offered help at intervals at at the end. Here they seemed content that they had done their job once we had accessed the building. I had company so was ok but it wouldn't have been easy if I'd been alone.
