Leeds Theatre — Attraction in Winchester

I've loved the shows I've seen here! You gotta at least see one show! Legally Blonde was fantastic and having the ensemble really added a lot to the performance. I would give higher stars, but the chairs are not very wide and tight for larger hips/people, plus the seat bottoms are just kind of hard. I know that would take lots of renovation. Unfortunately, not a very accessible theatre either. Bathrooms are tight, but there's an accessible stall in the women's and multiple urinals in the men's. The ramp into the downstairs seating area is overly steep, but there is a ramp over the stairs, so the downstairs level is accessible to an extent! The staff is extremely kind, professional, and caring, so they would do what they can to accommodate and support any patron! Reach out ahead...

We went to see Happy Hollerdays - a live performance of mostly local musicians sharing original bluegrass pieces with personal monologues sprinkled in. I absolutely appreciated that Leeds asked for our COVID-19 vaccination status and required masks to enjoy the show. I felt much safer and was able to relax and enjoy the performance - which was great. The theater is small but also a local treasure so it was a nice holiday experience. We hope to see many more events here. To top it off, they donated the proceeds from this show to the town of Mayfield, KY that was decimated by the tornado last night where so many lives were lost. We will...

Just saw Hairspray at the Leeds Theater and was blown away. This was the best musical theatre production that I have seen in a long time. Tremendous talent and performances all around. The fact that all involved were volunteers is phenomenal. The choice of Hairspray was genius considering our current political environment. The theater itself is very nice though the seating needs to be improved. However the powers that be at the theater have spent their money on the important stuff like bathrooms, sound system, lighting and set design. A real gem...
