Serviceable old theatre. Has great productions throughout the year. It's not tried to modernise. People were shorter when it was built so the seats are a little cramped!

This is a proper old theatre which is excellent for shows and bands alike. The access and egress are reasonably good, considering its age and the bars and staff are excellent. Don't forget to arrange your interval drinks before the performance to avoid queuing. watty

I think some of the characters mics were quieter than others or the music was... More

Went to see The Lion King but we have seen many other productions at The Palace Theatre. The theatre is in a good location and easy to get to with parking in the area. They manage to get excellent productions including Lion King and We Will Rock You which was also brilliant. The Lion King was amazing and well worth... More

I went to the last night of the Lion King in Manchester - so disappointed. The scenery and costumes very good but the diction of some of the characters like the hyenas was very poor you could not understand a thing. After all the hype about the show was very annoyed. Our seats were in the stalls but you could... More
