curve theatre

Me and my wife are members of 'Charity on Wheels' and went to see the performance on March 12th in the afternoon... An excellent show in a beautiful, clean, easy accesable Theatre, so easy to get too and find your way around. (BTW Adrian and Pandora are extremely tallented young people)

Ate in the bistro cafe before seeing Adrian Mole the Musical. Good value and quick service. The play one of many that we've seen was first class. Overall a must see theatre which has great shows and great facilities.

Although this was a preview of the show and it was first time for the team of youngsters who played Adrian, Pandora, Nigel & Barry - the performance was excellent in acting, sets, lighting, quality of production: An highly amusing script that is fsithfully reproduced from the books' dialogue and visually hilarious acting makes this show a MUST see:highly recommended to anyone who enjoys the Adrian Mole series - (& those who are less familiar):

Great production and hats off to the two actors who performed to perfection.The theatre itself is nicely set out although leg room seems a little small.Booking is easy either in person or online. We have booked for three more shows as my partner is a member for which £40 a year is a bargain as it soon pays for itself with discounts and 2 for 1's.

We attended the matinee performance of Woman in Black at the Curve yesterday. It was our first visit to the Curve. We loved the performance and really enjoyed the whole experience. The actors were amazing and had us on the edge of our seats throughout. Lighting and sound were great and we had a great view from our seats. Would definitely recommend visiting the Curve. We had a great view of the stage and the atmosphere during this performance was electric. We booked online and printed off our own tickets which saved us time and money. The website was really easy to use and the booking process very simple. A really great first visit and looking forward to the next one.

I have been to the Curve a couple of times over the last few months and each and every production has been of the highest standard. Every seat I have been in I have had a good view and the acoustics seem fine (to my untrained ear).I think the only think that lets it down is the facilities and décor outside the auditorium. There is always a huge queue for the bars which always seems to block the travel around the perimeter of the theatre. The décor seems very industrial and lacks the feeling of a evening out at the theatre. The clock room is the furthest point from the main entrance and there are very few toilets for the number of people in the auditorium.

Some good productions but let down by the poor sound quality and the lack of atmosphere you get in old theatres. It has no soul and is my least favourite theatre of all time and feels very industrial and is very cold. Only redeeming factor is that there seems to be a decent view from every seat.

Yesterday I attended the matinee of the Woman in Black and what an excellent thriller of a play this was. Only two actors playing a variety of parts excluding the person that plays the spectre .The light and sound effects department were superb and the acting first class. I can understand other reviewers coming up with various quibbles but David L should remember that we visit this venue for the quality of the shows presented not to admire the quality of the interior of the building!

I love the Curve, this venue is really impressive and I have always been impressed by the quality of the performances both on the main stage, studio and rehearsal rooms. The Curve always has Childrens activities on over holidays which are normally free, and if you buy tickets for a performance you can park in the NCP for a reduced rate which is great. You always feel like your going out somewhere special when you come to the Curve, yes it's plain inside but so are a lot of modern theatres in the 21st century. I would recommend joining the mailing list and watching out for performances which are going onto Londons West End.

Easy to find . Car parking in a nearby multi storey car park next door with its own walk way which goes straight into the first floor of the theatre. Lots of seating, comfortable and good viewing from all over. No pillars . A semi circular stage with excellent lighting facilities and clever aspects for rotating scenes. A large stage which suits all kinds of entertainment. Lots of space to eat and drink around the outside curve. Reasonable prices. Helpful staff. A variety of refreshments available.Adequate seating but could always do with more of a relaxing, sofa type would provide extra elegance and style.

Excellent production of The Woman In Black but the theatre itself lacked atmosphere and was very cold. This was my first visit and I was sadly disappointed.

The curve feels like a second home I've watched so many shows here....its a family favourite and every show is very professional. I don't think you could ask for a better place to visit...One little grumble..waiting times at the bar..It gets so busy it can be a wait to be served at times but that would never stop me going

The curve cost I believe £60,000,000. the bulk of which I guess has been spent on the exterior.The interior and the main auditorium is extremely plain and all passage ways generally drafty, essentially constructed from breeze block( obviously to save money.)You certainly do not feel your anywhere special and the inferior materials used does not contribute to your evening out, probably a bit cruel but it reminds me of the walkways in a football stadium... The person(s) responsible for the interior should have examined the design of modern cruise ships theatres which generally exude a feeling of sumptous luxury and greatly contribute to the feeling of being somewhere special.

Fantastic production, the singing was outstanding, excellent seats love the curve!!!!! This was my second visit would recommend it to everyone.

Performance was enjoyable but the theater itself is poor especially when millions of £'s have been spent on it. Bar cold & draughty, looking at the fabric of the building it has absolutely no character and looks like an unfinished building project after the builders went bust before completing it. A great disappointment and makes me long for the old Haymarket Theatre. Seating poorly arranged.I'll stick to the London and Birmingham theatres and the Leicester Little Theatre in future. At least they have some atmosphere!
