This would have been 5 Stars, but where we sat Upstairs back row, had a bit of echo, so we struggled with the clarity of sound. We saw some seats available at the front of the balcony, the difference... See more

The show was good

The show was good but not quite what I expected. The promotional information did not entirely reflect the experience for me.

Loved the Show. Easy to find our seats and quick to exit afterwards.

No compassionate grounds for a refund - even if contacted before event and unable to attend due to being in the Emergency Department at the hospital.

I sent this to Ticketek on May 9, 2026, 2:17 PM GMT+10
"My partner booked tickets for this evening's game, for him, me and his father. His father fell badly today and my partner and his father are now in emergency waiting to be seen.
I am requesting a refund on his behalf, on compassionate grounds, as we are unable to attend the game due to a medical emergency. I am hoping that this may be processed in time to allow others to use our seats!"

On May 11, 2026, 8:18 AM GMT+10 they replied:
"Hi Anna!
Thanks so much for getting in touch with us!
We can only process if the account holder will reach out to us directly so we can assist with anything related to their account and tickets.
But since the event has already taken place, we’re unable to process any refunds for the tickets, as they were non-refundable according to the terms and conditions at the time of purchase.
Regards,
John
Customer Solutions"

Not a solution.

The Candyman can and did!!!

The show was simply a production of the highest quality that would not be out of place on the West End. The young boy playing Charlie nailed every moment in the spotlight and Bryn Monk was sensational as Wonka, with exquisite comic timing to accompany his note perfect singing. The ensemble cast never missed a step or beat while the graphics and set design was vibrant and engaged the audience. Fun for all ages with its pace, humour and musical excellence. In fact, one of the best stage musicals in the city in recent years and there have been many stellar shows in that time. Well done to all involved!

Great production

Great production, well performed. The orchestra was rather loud; their amplification could have been turned down as it was hard to hear the lyrics at times.
