Good view of most of the stage, the very far back part of the stage was on occasion hard to see. Legroom was acceptable. I am 6ft 4in tall so legroom is always a challenge but for the 3 hour performance it was actually quite comfortable. Tina - The Tina Turner Musical, 29 Jun 2023

This theatre was built when the average Brit was 5'7" tall, weighed less than around 11 stones (160lbs or about 70Kgs) and in female terms, about a size 8-10. In the upper circle, you need oxygen, and the ability of mountain rescue team to reach your seats. The gents lavatory was nearby, but the ladies was around 5 minutes away through the crowds. In real life terms, good 'Elf and Safety woulf=d never allow this build to take place. Management desperately need to remove half the seat rows, and charge more for the performances to cover the loss of revenue. Very poor quality seating and space to move. At 6'2" i'm not that big by today's standards, but even I had to sit n the steps to get some legroom. Tina - The Tina Turner Musical, 28 Feb 2022

The distance between seat rows I think was a bit dangerous as getting to my seat was quite a drop. Tina - The Tina Turner Musical, 24 Feb 2020
