点评:The building looks quite modern from the outside but is actually Victorian with modern extensions so I wasn’t really sure what to expect inside. When you enter, it’s into the modern part with seating areas, bars and cafes and a big spiral staircase. It looks brand new and is really plush with quality carpets and furniture.
Then when you enter the theatre itself, it’s back to the Victorian style but all nicely decorated and comfortable. London theatres are unbelievably shabby in comparison to this! The boxes with the dome shaped roof and the carved wooden elephant heads make it look like the set of Moulin Rouge!
My seat was up in the Gods but it was still really comfortable up there and despite saying restricted view on my ticket, it wasn’t restricted at all and the view of the stage and into the pit was actually amazing! I had a much better view than I did sitting near the front in other theatres.
Sound quality was excellent too. Staff are warm and friendly from the box office staff to the ushers. I really enjoyed my visit to this theatre.
翻译:这座建筑从外观上看相当现代,但实际上是维多利亚风格的,带有现代扩建部分,所以我真的不知道里面会是什么样子。当你进入时,它进入了现代部分,有座位区、酒吧和咖啡馆,还有一个大螺旋楼梯。它看起来是全新的,非常豪华,有优质的地毯和家具。
然后,当你进入剧院本身时,它又回到了维多利亚风格,但装饰精美,舒适。与此相比,伦敦的剧院简直破旧不堪!圆顶屋顶的包厢和雕刻的木象头让它看起来像红磨坊的布景!
我的座位在众神座上,但那里仍然非常舒适,尽管我的票上写着视野受限,但一点都没有受限,舞台和观众席的视野实际上非常棒!我的视野比坐在其他剧院靠近前排的视野好得多。
声音质量也很好。从售票处工作人员到引座员,工作人员都很热情友好。我真的很喜欢参观这个剧院。
