Derek ChristieApril 7, 2013Make sure you go to the toilet before you go in. At the interval there is a massive queue. Yes fellas, for the gents! God knows how queue was for the ladies. Go pee, then enjoy the show.Upvote5Downvote
Jaimie McGuireDecember 30, 2014Be sure to book a lounge package (from £15pp) - complimentary drink and cloak room, table service and a nice relaxing place to enjoy a drink before the show and at the intervalUpvote2Downvote
Szabi KotekApril 24, 2012Great show tonight it was. Watch out for the binoculars on the back of seats £1 to hire themUpvote2Downvote
Aaron LyeSeptember 28, 2013Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy with the original radio presenters was very well done. Marvin was just amazingly depressing. ;)UpvoteDownvote- Danny ShortSeptember 5, 2014Arrive early if you want a drink in the bar before the showUpvoteDownvote
Halsted BernardFebruary 14, 2012The Playhouse is a stately former cinema that seats 3,000. It was a wonderful venue for "Avenue Q"! Read moreUpvoteDownvote
Georgia GriersonFebruary 16, 2011Been there to concerts in the past. Easy to get to by foot if you're coming through to Edinburgh by public transportUpvote1Downvote
Order your drinks at the bar for the interval when you arrive to save the queues later.UpvoteDownvote- Eliza PapadopoulouSeptember 24, 2013There's less seat legroom than a Ryanair flight seat!Upvote3Downvote
Emma LougheedApril 27, 2012Only 3 ladies toilets on balcony level. Be prepared to spend interval in a queue! Don't plan to cross your legs instead, there's not enough leg room!UpvoteDownvote
David GoddardOctober 13, 2011If you're tall and in the stalls watch out for the legroom, there's none!UpvoteDownvote
Gareth FApril 30, 2011Just DON'T need the toilet. Horrifically under-services theatre with huge queues and narrow corridors. A real let down for the venue which can ruin visits to shows.UpvoteDownvote
- Mark RamsayJune 25, 2012Booking tickets directly at the Box Office rather than through Tickemaster will enable a better selection of seating options Read moreUpvote2Downvote1
