Easy to get to, we had to use public transport, bus stop just outside. Great show. A bit disappointing that it seemed a problem if we got up and danced ( it was a music group we went to watch) but that seems to be a common problem at other theatres as well these days. I had read on reviews that the seats were quite close together, ours were ok but there was an empty seat next to our two so we could spread over slightly. It could have been a problem if everyone was on the slightly bigger side. It was a hot day but the air conditioning was amazing, cooled the theatre down for the whole show.
