What a breathtaking performance from the Birmingham Royal Ballet and orchestra.nBallet mixed with contemporary dance and classic Black Sabbath tracks.nTheatre Royal at all levels amazing.nLooking forward my next visit is to see Women in Black.nI've already booked next year's Don Quixoute Ballet.
The UncannynGreat show the Theatre was packed! Easy to find, the carpark gets super busy so arrive in good time.
My first trip to the Theatre Royal was far from successful, but they corrected their error, which goes a long way in my book.nnLet me paint the scene.nnYour favourite show is touring the UK, & you have additional needs, plus some. You take time, 17 months before the show is even in your area to scope out the venue, finding the wheelchair accessible seat that suits your needs with theatre staff assisting. They won't let you try anywhere else, you trust them, after all.nnThe big day comes, you arrive & find your seat isn't suitable due to the additional seats in your row. This is made worse by a gentleman next to you who leans forward, blocking your view as your seats are on the right side of the stage, so his body position really matters.nnAfterwards you speak to staff who show you the perfect seat downstairs that you never got to see. It works just, & staff say the access team will email you. Ten days goes by, nothing. You reach out, because this matters to you & time is NOT on your side. A lovely lady from the access team reaches out, & states she saw you arriving & noted you wouldn't see anything that night.nnInstead of platitudes, she grabbed the bull by the horns & took responsibility, rebooking you on one of two dates available.nnThe second attempt was MUCH better. I had a brilliant night & it was interesting comparing cast members from the two shows, weeks apart.nnYou see, that is how it should be, owning errors & taking responsibility. No one is perfect, & mistakes happen, but action is much better than platitudes.nnBefore leaving I took time to explore the changing places toilet. The usual checks, making sure the place was clean, that everything worked, the red cord alarm cord was hanging down to the floor & not tied up etc. Photo attached.nnI've also suggested the website be updated to include the lift dimensions, as it isn't that large, I struggled. How sad it would be for someone to turn up & discover their night of magic be inaccessible when there is a simple fix?nnMy only issue now is due to my particular needs there is only one space in the main theatre that will fit me. I now have even more of a battle on my hands to get tickets for it. Unfortunately, the cost of this one seat is almost double the other options that physically aren't suitable for me. I am hoping there could be some compromise on this under the Equality Act 2010, or sadly my new regular treat will be out of reach.
Seats are quite small and close. Not much room either side for arms and not much leg room. Angry usher shouting at people about putting things on front of balcony. Could have just put some signs up. Apart from that stage view was good, sound was clear.
We came to watch Hamilton - what a fantastic show that is!!nInterval was rather short though so no time to go toilets and get drinks…nJust about got an icecream, but the lady very friendly and helpful staff had to reopen again!..
