Customer Reviews
Came for the Singing in the Rain musical during our trip to Manchester and absolutely loved it!!! Stunning show and very quality production. The theatre was built inside the original Royal Exchange Building and the way how it’s structured was really smart and fun.
It was our first visit to the beautiful Royal Exchange theatre in Manchester City center last Saturday to watch the Dancing At Lughnasa play, which tells the story of 5 colourful sisters, barely surviving on a farm in 1930's Ireland, and the powerful moment that changes their lives forever. I can't believe we haven't previously been to see a show at this unique multi-storey 7-sided steel & glass theatre-in-the-round module, that sits in the grand hall of a magnificent former Edwardian Cotton Exchange in Manchester. We really enjoyed the play in this stunning theatre and plan to go back soon to see the Singing In The Rain musical. There is plenty of seating & tables around the grand hall outside the theatre module, toilets, bars and a dinning area.
Love the theatre and the Royal Exchange is near perfect. Great performances, staff, food and bar. Being in the round the seating always seems to be excellent. Our last performance was to see Dancing in the Rain. It was just perfection. Highly recommend.
