Traveler reviews
Steven Reynolds
★★★★★a month agoWatched the Riverdance 30th anniversary show. Amazing talents on show. Good views from the seats we were at (quite far back in the circle area). The seats were certainly made for when people were smaller, hence not a huge amount of leg room. Great sound and lighting. Staff very helpful in directing us to where we needed to go.

★★★★★2 months agoA triumphant first night - Annie and the young girls sparkled from start to finish. A fabulous performance heart warming, full of charm. La Voix was a show stealer, for me as miss Hannigan, wickedly funny vocally superb impossible to take your eyes off! Standing ovation 👏 ♥️ so we'll deserved. Highly recommended 👌 enjoy
