30 December at 6pm Captioned Show:

There will be a screen on the stage right side of the stage showing the words spoken by the actors. Every seat on the plan for this performance has an (i). If you hover you’ll see that this tells you whether the seat does or does not have a view of the caption unit. Generally front on seats on the left hand side of the auditorium have a good view of the unit.

The 2pm shows on 23rd and 29th December will be Relaxed Performances

A relaxed performance is where the ambience of the auditorium and theatre ‘rules’ are relaxed. These performances are ideal for people with learning disabilities or autism, or anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment. The director and the actors and technical team on the show will also have thought carefully about what might need to change in the show so that people’s needs have been considered. For instance, very loud noises or music might be turned down or specific movements or lines might be adapted slightly.

We will create a visual story that will be handed out on the day.

Touch tour – Saturday 13 December at 1:15pm (in advance of the 2pm show)

A member of our team will be hosting a tour of the set, props and costume.  The aim is to provide context about the show and to allow blind and partially sighted members of the audience to familiarise themselves with the design of the space, costumes and props ahead of the show itself.

What is the age guidance?

5+

Younger children may well enjoy the spectacle and will certainly love the songs and dancing however the running time is around 2 hours including the interval. Of course we’ll welcome younger children as part of a family trip, but the show has not been designed with pre-school children in mind.

Yes, there are spaces held for wheelchair users at each performance. The seats are on the aisle on row E, indicated on the seating plan by an image of a wheelchair and C for companion. Wheelchair tickets are £15 along with free companion tickets. Please call Box Office on 01865 766266 to book. These tickets can’t be booked online.

How long will it last?

The running time is approximately 2 hours, which includes a 20 minute interval.
