I am asking that when you come to our venue that you are considerate towards your fellow audience members and our members of staff so that we can all enjoy the wonderful entertainment on the stage.
Today we bid a sad farewell to Wicked, which has thrillified over 135,000 guests since this tour opened with us on 7th December 💚
We want to say a big thank you to everyone involved in the show. We have loved having such an incredible production at our venue ✨
We are deeply saddened to hear about the news of much loved Scottish actor Andy Gray. A panto legend within the theatre community, our thoughts go out to Andy’s family and to our friends and colleagues at Capital Theatres. ❤️
There is a very small minority of people who come to our theatre and choose to sing, dance and talk throughout the show in a manner that disturbs others. They either don’t know, or don’t care, how much this spoils their fellow audience members’ experience.
The day has finally arrived! ❤️
Tonight we are SO excited to throw open our doors and welcome audiences again, as we get
