What an amazing show - such wonderful voices and dancing....so true to life. A truly wonderful afternoon. The show is on Sunday afternoon at 5pm - so civilised. Well worth seeing in this wonderful old theatre. 10/10. Very reasonable price seating. More

I went to see 'Once on this Island' last night with some friends, and it was absolutely brilliant. It's a lively caribean musical about a peasant girl who resures a wealthy man from car accident and falls in love with him. It's very atmospheric, and fun - the singing was amazing, and the dancing great too. It was also very... More
