Got my younger son a booster seat to make the view more clear. Ask one of the staff and they will bring you one. Me and my 2 boys (10 and 15 years old) and loved it, was a bit long but full of excitement. Songs were amazing, costumes and acting were stunning , every single detail was lovely. Not to be missed. read less

This time we booked hospitality with nibbles and drinks before the show and ice cream at the interval. We did not have to join the long queue outside to get in but had our own entrance and were escorted to a private room. All the staff were friendly polite and helpful and took us down to our seats before the show started. We will be back again read less

Congrats to entire cast and the behind scenes staff. That said, I find it really disrespectful when people turn up late and disrupt everyone or, decide to come back late after the interval. I also expected people to make an effort when they go to the theatre but, no. Lots of people dressed very casually borderline untidy. Come on people - give the shows and theatre some respect and make an effort. Where have the good old British values gone? read less

Ένα θέατρο κατάμεστο από θεατές (οικογένειες κατά κύριο λόγο) απολαύσαμε απίστευτα σκηνικά, κοστούμια, φωτισμό στη γνωστή σε όλους ιστορία του Βασιλιά των λιονταριών. Προσωπικά έκλαιγα απο τα πρώτα 2 λεπτά που ξεκίνησε με την χαρακτηριστική εισαγωγή του έργου καθώς δεν μπορούσα να χωνέψω το πόσο ταλέντο μπορεί να χωρέσει μια αίθουσα. Πολλά μπράβο σε όλους τους συντελεστές!! read less
