Beautiful old building. Seats were comfy, I enjoyed my time here.
The theater looks nice, but I was very surprised at how steep the seats are in the balcony. So steep that I literally had to crawl up the steps and sit in the handicap area. You don't get an angle view, you get an almost straight down view. Who approved this structure? I was attending a children friendly show as well. If you misstep or bump into someone, you're losing whatever you let go of. I also thought it was just me but then other patrons along with staff acknowledged the issue as well.
Saw an amazing show in a fantastic space. The layout is perfect, Nota bad seat in the house!
Saw Wife Of Willesden - strong recommend. Those seat high up were very weird! If you’re a larger person or scared of heights, think twice about those seats.
We saw sign in Sidney window here and while the play was another story (great first act, bad second), the staff here were excellent! We sat in the second section and when people were on their phone or talked, the usher made sure that it stopped. The only problem I found was that phones kept going off, but that seems to be a growing problem in all theatre spaces since Covid-19.
Cyrano De Bergerac definitely worth seeing. You could hear a pin drop. The audience was entranced. Interesting theatre and elevator makes access easier.
The space is beautiful. Staff is very helpful. I sat in the upper balcony. The seats are elevated for great sight lines, but you have to climb up into them and keep your feet on a platform the entire time. It's physically tiring. I'm a thin person, but I noticed larger people really struggling with comfort and movement. Also, moving in and out of those rows was VERY difficult.
Probably the coolest theatre I’ve ever been to. The interior architecture is so intriguing. Glad they maintained the original design. There is a steep pitch for the seating so no bad sight lines - very clear view of the stage when sitting. The the physical chair is comfortable the rows are narrow - toes of shoes touching back of seat in front of me.
