Went to see Alice Cooper here on 23 July. The venue had good sound, good seating and clear views. Only around 3000 seats so it was a great, intimate theatre to see a great theatrical rock performance at.

Great night at the sparks concert . The playhouse could do with extra tv screens ,especially being so far back it's difficult to see the stage if you're not a tall person ,and your seat is at the rear of the stalls .
