    I have never been to a venue with better, kinder, prompt, pro-active and attentive staff. It was as though I wasn't disabled.

    My wife went into the box office (1 small step) to collect tickets. Immediately a member of staff came out and lead us to a side door. He lead us in, clearing the way to our seats, at the end of a row, level with the main entrance. I transferred into my seat and my wheel chair was removed. It was brought back at the interval in case I needed the toilet. It was brought back promptly at the end so I was one of the first to exit the theatre, ahead of the crowds.
