A nice older theater good acoustics but the seats are on the smaller side. The biggest problem is the washrooms. They are in the basement and if the theater is sold out there can be a backup. On operation Mincemeat, I would say if you enjoy old musicals it may be for you but my wife and I walked out at intermission. Talented preformed but it just didn't click with us.
I am giving a two stars because it is hard to follow for someone that is English as a second language. Although the actors do an excellent job performing and singing. It is also a bit too long, and I prefer shows with a larger cast and more props. The second act was more entertaining. The theater is beautiful, the seat is comfortable but not too leg room space. If you are a tall, you will be uncomfortable.
Thoroughly enjoyed seeing 'Operation Mincemeat'! It was so entertaining - great voice, farcical but true, great staging & costumes. Very talented & versatile performers. Highly recommend this musical. It is a beautiful old theater, however the seats are rather snug.
