Pulse Festival, New Wolsey Theatre

Went to see Murder at Midnight, last night. Absolutely fantastic evening. The theatre is just lovely and the play was one of the best i have ever seen, and iam a regulary theatre goer, especially to the big London venues...if you get the chance so see this play, do so. The actors were just brilliant 10/10

We have seen 2 children's shows here, and we both loved it. The kids' comedy show was amazing. I love this theatre as it's small and not too overwhelming for little ones, and me actually. Parking is super easy either in the spiral car park or the above ground one. They have great half term shows and we are booked in for the dino show next.

The theatre itself fantastic, friendly staff, intimate setting. However the current Christmas panto I feel should’ve said ‘Inspired by’ Beauty & the Beast as I can imagine some younger audience members being disappointed at the lack of similarities to the actual story. As an adult having been to several of the rock & roll pantos yes as always the performance was excellent and did love the end motto of how being different is to be celebrated but the straying from the title was frustrating! I also so wish the New Wolsey would return to a musical at Christmas like they had back in the 80’s/90’s and incorporate that ‘being different is to be celebrated’ with the town already having other pantos. Bring good musicals back to the town and have something people (who may not be as keen on pantos) can go and watch over the festive period.

Incredibly friendly and diligent front-of-house staff. Excellent view from all seats in the auditorium. Our only feedback is regarding the massive amount of sound escaping from the headphones of the patron beside us who was using the audio description service. We heard it all and it was rather distracting. Perhaps some better headphones that don't leak sound would benefit all patrons?
