Reviews

Visited to see "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and can honestly say it was the most joyous experience I've had at a theatre. 
The location itself is fantastic, well layed out and easy to get to from central Leeds. 
The play was utterly delightful, some amazing physical feats from the cast using ropes and silks to perform off of the ground. Beautiful musical numbers sung perfectly and just generally well crafted performances from the entire cast who are clearly very dedicated and passionate about the show. 
I look forward to seeing more plays at this venue and hopefully to seeing more performances from the wonderfully talented cast members.

Fabulous venue. 
It has a round 360 stage which gives it a different feel and also means there's not really a bad seat in the house. 
The bar is well stocked and you are also given real glasses. The price is higher than a standard pub bit that's to be expected. 
The toilets are on the lower level and are a bit of a trek away. I would recommend going before you find your seats of you need to. 
Lots of room once seated with a great atmosphere.

The 🦁 the witch and the wardrobe was theatre at its very best. First performance in Leeds but should be taken to a much wider audience. Really magical. The playhouse has super friendly staff who genuinely seem to like their work and want to help    I love this little theatre . But please city developers STOP enclosing this super theatre in a massive if souless buildings. .

Fabbo, went to see Penguins with the children.  It was a showing of 55 minutes perfect for small ones.  Only downside is there was no reserved seating and therefore my little two couldn't see too clearly without sitting up on my knee, which then made it uncomfortable for me.  It would be better if they allowed children to sit at the front or maybe allows you to book reserved seats.   All I all though, kids loved it as did mum and dad and a cost effective way to introduce children to the arts (without a screen).

Great modern theatre with good views all round. Friendly staff, good selection of drinks and snacks that won't break the bank and for the penny pinching the is free chilled water available from a dispenser near the bar. Good location next to bus station and good car parking options.
