  Fantastic theatre with a beautiful atmosphere. The staff were friendly and well organised, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. The seats were comfortable, the sound and lighting were outstanding, and the performance was amazing. I would definitely recommend the Palace Theatre Manchester to anyone looking for a great night out. I can’t wait to come back!

  Seats are the size of infants in primary school( I am not joking...leg cramps are to be expected). Could only hear 1/3 of what Joanne McNally was saying and none of the joke punchlines and judging by people around me, who all smiled politely but not laughed, they couldn't hear the show either.

  ​I went to the Palace Theatre to watch Annie, and the show itself was incredible. The performance, sound, lighting, props and stage visibility were all top-tier. ​However, the seating comfort was almost unbearable. As a 6'3" bloke, the complete lack of legroom is no joke—it feels like significantly less space than a budget airline.(much less) At various points during the show, I completely lost feeling in my legs, experiencing severe pins and needles and extreme pain. ​I fully understand that this is a historic, beautiful venue and one of the largest theatres outside of London, but at the prices being charged for tickets, patrons shouldn't be left in physical agony. If you are tall, be very careful about your seat, because the lack of space I feel is a health hazard.

  Beautiful venue, and very accessible! Level access into the foyer, with either A few steps up or an access lift to take you up the few steps. Regular lifts up to the circles. The staff were super lovely and helpful and are happy to store any mobility aids during the show for you. Only bit of warning is that if you have long femurs your knees will either be in the person's back in front of you, or you will be spread eagle. This is, of course, the same with most historic theatres; especially if you are not seated in the stalls.
