My wife and I saw Dirty Dancing here on the 15th June, the show was very very good, the theatre is a beautiful place, lots of grandeur and detail that lots of old theatres have. We paid nearly £60 per ticket and for that I would have expected a decent seat, the view of the stage (2nd row Circle) was... More

The dancing / music was great, although I wasn't impressed with the... More

Upon arrival you are guided to your seating area for pre show drinks. Bit pricey at £4.40 for a small bottle however this is to be expected really. The show itself was awesome and... More

Me & My partner went to watch this show last night, 08.06.2013. - The show itself is a good production, alas it was let down badly, by a bunch of HECKLERS who decided to shout obscenities at the cast, who worked damn hard to entertain us. one od these Hecklers even shouted out to the actress playing Penny "[--] [--]...

Had a great time watching the show at the Palace Theatre. Helpful staff. Seats in the stalls better - watched the Lion King previously in the gods and it was a bit cramped.

Went to see the Dirty Dancing Tour show tonight (01/06/2013). Great dancing, good singing and top entertainment. The atmosphere in the Palace was good tonight. This is a show that is worth seeing.
