The ticketing propose was easy - seat selection and price availability was clear. The welcoming theatre staff quickly greeted my husband and me upon our arrival. The staff was informative and checked us in so we could head to the theatre which was beautiful. Our stage seats were amazing... definitely recommend it. The show was beyond festive, and the entire performing members, orchestra, and crew were all talented beyond expectations. It is a Star Performance and a must-see!!! Thank you all.

Got tickets easily, theatre ushers were helpful and went above and beyond as my friend is disabled. Everyone, from the security on the door to the main actor, the gorgeous Owen Teale, looked like they were there to make sure you had a good time. It was one of the best Christmas shows I’ve seen in ages. The enthusiasm of everyone involved really spilled over! The musicians and singing was beautiful, the staging was awesome and, of course, Dickens reigns supreme. Don’t miss out, see it!
