Liverpool Playhouse Theatre — Attraction in Liverpool

We took my mother in law to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel on Saturday night.

Staff were very helpful and friendly-spotting that lift access would be needed, we were ushered to the lift for our seats upstairs. We had a fairly good view of the stage, but could not see all of the play to the far right of the stage. It is an old theatre and as such the seats are not very roomy and you do not have much leg room, so if you have coats/bags with you, you will probably have them on your lap. I was relieved to have the intermission to get up and stretch my legs and get some air, as the theatre was extremely hot.

I purchased a can of coke and three pots of ice cream and it came to £16- to give you an idea of prices.

The play overall was good but parts of it could have been chopped out to keep it flowing more smoothly.

Obviously I am aware that my size is my issue and had I have known the seats would not accommodate me I would never have purchased the tickets. I guess this is more a heads up for other plus sized or taller patrons because I wish I'd have...

Decent theatre in a really central location. Really easy to get to (It's a short walk from Lime St station, St.Johns car park and the Queen's Square bus terminus). We got tickets for an afternoon performance of A Christmas Carol and it was significantly cheaper than any of the other Xmas offerings from other theatres in the North West (£15 each). Having said that, you do get what you pay for, to some extent, the back couple of rows in the rear circle are benches, rather than individual seats, and are not particularly comfortable. Not sure about the kiosk prices generally, but we bought bottles of water, at £1 each, which seemed fairly reasonable, by theatre standards. Would definitely visit again, but may pay a bit more for a...
