Visited last night to see the Twist and Shout musical show. Music and dance from the 60’s - Absolutely brilliant, such talented performers who sang and danced to such a high standard. The accompanying musicians were top class. An amazing evening in a small but stunning theatre, the staff were lovely, helpful and very friendly.

Excellent show 👏
Toni has an excellent voice
Her band and backing girls was amazing. Couldn't fault show.
The hippodrome threate really needs an urgent refurbishment, seats were torn,shredded and some badly torn. Toilet 🚻 had sign apologising for the state they were in.
Noticed a lot of people in the circle were having problems with the steep stairs.

Really Really worth going. A mix of paid and volunteer staff here all super helpful. Took our 95 year old neighbour to see a show who was taken the best care of and had a great time. One of the theatres that was closed during COVID and may still close if we don't use them more. Everyone here is super glad to be back and open again and if you want to feel special too, go see a show!!!
