First visit. Beautiful exterior. All the staff from behind the bar to management were lovely, helpful and polite. Seats were comfortable especially in comparison to the Theatre Royal in Newcastle. There's a good range drinks and snacks, with seat service available. Production was great. Inside also appears to be well maintained. A great evening.
Just been to watch the friends musical and I adored it. The musical itself was amazing and I had no issues with the theatre at all. One thing that isn’t the greatest is the prices of food and drink but that’s a usual with things now so it didn’t bother us. The seats were amazing in the upper circle and it wasn’t even expensive to sit where we did. £15 each for our seats for that show. The staff were amazing as I lost my phone and they managed to phone my parents through my medical id on my phone and kept it until I found it. My program booklet got ruined from someone’s drink and the woman happily gave me a fresh one after I showed her and I was over the moon. The program was £4 but I wasn’t bothered. Highly recommend here as I haven’t been in years and wasn’t let down at all.
What can I say. What a breath of Magic from Start to Finish. we were swept away into Berts Chalk pictures on a wild and breezy adventure. What a performance. First time we have been to the Empire theatre. We will most certainly be back.
Really nice theatre, smaller than the ones I am used to going to. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Prices for drinks and snacks were high but this is as expected when visiting a theatre, you can order for drinks to come to your seat but we didn't bother on this occasion.
Very ornate old building.nToilets were fine. A queue as usual for the ladies as you'd expect anywhere there's a show.nWe had a whole row to ourselves so could spread our legs out but if we'd been limited to our seats, the legroom would have been a little uncomfortable for us. We were in the upper circle in the lower numbers. We had an ok view though many parts were on the right side of the stage, which we couldn't see because of the boxes, so thankfully, they videoed it and it was up on two large screens above the actors.nSome people did move further back as their seats were on the front row of the upper circle which had a safety bar in front of them which obstructed their view.
