I've heard this theatre is up for renovation and I think that it's probably about time. What I'd really love them to do something about is the fact that it is impossible (not just 'difficult' but actually not possible) to walk in front of anyone who is sitting down. They have to stand. I saw it the other night regardless of their size/age/build etc, and so anyone who came early got a seat and spent the rest of the pre-show time standing up to let people past. Seats were also a tad stingy in width, though they were comfortable enough.
Even though we were about halfway back in the stalls we could see and hear fine, lighting was good too.
It is a grand old theatre although I was disappointed too that in the ceiling where the lovely chandelier was they'd cut rough hewn holes in the gyprock to install lights. Not a great look. The 'bar' could do with expanding too, and the waiting area.
Altogether it was 'fine' but not much more.
