点评:The venue is in the style of a classic west end theatre. Well maintained. Decent sized seats.
The staff need to do a much better job of managing poorly behaved spectators. On the night I went, two women took over the box after the interval. They were inebriated. Stood and danced while the rest of the audience were sitting. Repeatedly left and rentered. Went on their phones for several minutes and created light distractions and talked at conversational volume. There were staff floating around who did nothing.
Then a member of the audience shouted at them across the theatre. At which point 3 staff arrive to the box to more closely regulate the customers’ behaviour.
If theatres hope to survive and compete against streaming services, they are going to need to do a better job of training and empowering their staff on how to deal with customers who impair the rest of the audience’s experience. The customers were sitting in the box which distracted everyone in the circles. The behaviour lasted about 30 minutes and would have carried on but for the bravery of another customer.
I will not to this venue again until I hear that the theatre has taken some specific steps that would result in different outcomes in the future.

工作人员需要更好地管理行为不端的观众。我去的那天晚上,中场休息后,两名女性占据了包厢。她们喝醉了。在其他观众坐着的时候,她们站着跳舞。反复离开和离开。她们玩了几分钟的电话,制造轻微的干扰,并以谈话的音量说话。工作人员四处走动,什么也没做。
然后,一名观众在剧院对面对他们大喊大叫。这时,3 名工作人员来到包厢,更严格地规范顾客的行为。
如果剧院希望生存并与流媒体服务竞争,他们将需要更好地培训和授权员工,让他们知道如何处理影响其他观众体验的顾客。顾客坐在包厢里,分散了圈子里所有人的注意力。这种行为持续了大约 30 分钟,如果不是另一位顾客的勇敢,这种行为还会继续下去。
我不会再来这个场馆了,除非我听说剧院采取了一些具体措施,以便在未来取得不同的结果。
