The Gaiety Theatre — Attraction in Dublin

Amazing interior, but very small seats, little space to walk out. Theatre are not air conditioned. The theatre was built for £26,000, and construction was completed in just 28 weeks. The Gaiety was opened on 27 November 1871, with the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland as guest of honour for a double bill which included the comedy She Stoops to Conquer and a burlesque version of La Belle Sauvage. Since 1871, The Gaiety Theatre has given the people of Dublin opera, musicals, drama, revues, comedy, concerts, dance, festivals and pantomime. Amid the laughter and tears, through times of war and times of affluence, The Grand Old Lady of South King Street has remained a vital and ever changing expression of Irish culture and Irish society. Long home to the familiar faces of Maureen Potter, Niall Toibin, John B.

Really disappointed with the customer service received, my boyfriend and I attended yesterday’s Riverdance show at 3:30pm.

Since the start of the performance, the lady in front of me sat forward which obstructed my view of the stage for the whole first half of the show.

I raised this issue with the usher during the interval. He took note of where we were sitting and said that he would inspect once the second half of the show started.

After twenty minutes into the second half, the lady in front of me continued to obstruct my view by sitting forward.

I exited the aisle and approached the usher whom I was speaking to. He said that he took a look and didn’t think she was obstructing my view and that he could raise this to his supervisor if I was still unhappy.

The fact the usher didn’t take any course of action meant that I had to sit by myself in rows that were vacated during the interval. I feel this is really poor customer service and more action should have been taken in order to rectify this situation. It also really impacted the experience...
