Hilarious show! Cried from laughing from beginning to end! Actors were amazing with the comedy and excellent vocals. I had a seat with restricted view but could see the whole show perfectly, just had to lean a bit every now and then. Only problem was during the bows, because there was a standing ovation, could barely see the actors. Besides that, 5stars and would go back! Row R seat 8

A smaller theatre with excellent staff, definitely a 20 out of 10 for the service provided for mobility issues, one of the best theatres.
