Went to Percy Jackson show last night. It was really good. Would like to review the staff - we have 2 wheelchair users in our group. every one of the staff we encountered were so nice and accommodating. A rarity indeed! Highly recommend their accessibility. They even knew the accessible fire evacuation procedures without finding a supervisor.

Saw The Snow Queen and it was wonderful! Absolutely loved the ballet, the sets, the costumes, all brilliant! The seats in the theatre are not particularly comfortable but it’s clean and the staff are always friendly!

Fabulous evenings entertainment. Very helpful usher who went above and beyond expectations, great orchestra, powerfully evocative dancers flew across the stage gracefully. Well worth the trip.

Saw Black Sabbath the Ballet here. Absolutely amazing, even from the upper circle. Being there was no problem for seeing the performance, and in some ways, it was the best view because the patterns made by the dancers were really clear
