Shockingly, I had never been to Lyceum Edinburgh, but have now been three times to see the stunning Blue Beard by Wise Children. The staff are lovely, and really helpful. I called for two separate enquiries and they answered professionally and warmly. The exterior facade has a modern glass surround, which is a cool touch. It would seem that you have to show your tickets to gain entrance suggesting you couldn't just pop in for a drink and meeting like most theatres, but lovely staff in the Ground and Upper floor bars. We pre-ordered drinks for the interval, but my sparkling rose wine had been poured too soon and in too wide a glass so had lost its fizz. I ordered a can of soft drink the next time to avoid this, but the drinks were laid out clearly and easy to find. The theatre itself is just lovely, and who could not be in awe of that ceiling and chandelier? The traditional decor creates an excitement before the play even begins, which is a wonderful way to start the evening. I was in Box E the first time, and was charmed to see a client opposite. The next time, I had made a mistake with my booking, and a delightful male staff sorted it quickly with ease and swapped me to a box on the opposite side. Comfortable seating, and although these are 'restricted view,' it is nothing that a little lean or twist won't sort out. The technicians are good with great lighting and sound; although I found the temperature rather cool. The downstairs bar was freezing, but I have often been likened to a rock lizard, so don't go by my inner temp; although I would recommend you bring a shawl. For anyone who loves the theatre, these are hallowed halls, and I get the sense that the staff know this and feel honoured to be in the industry as they show this in their high level of service. With one week to go for Blue Beard, I may just find myself returning with friends for another visit, but will definitely also look forward to seeing what their next production will be in order to soak up that lovely atmosphere.
