We have adapted the show slightly by having fewer people watching and you can also choose which seat you sit in. We have lowered the sound and lighting levels and throughout the performance the auditorium will have the main lights dimmed instead of being in complete darkness. There is also a designated ‘chill out area’ outside the auditorium that can be used at any time throughout the show. This is a picture of the main theatre; You can choose which seat you would like to sit in.
