Wow went to see cinderella with my 6 year old son. It was magical. Not your usual comedy panto but a performance based around the story. What a talented cast who played live instruments whilst singing and dancing. It was spot on for younger children 45 mins each half. Highly recommend.

Went to the octagon theatre on Monday 2nd January to watch Cinderella with our 12 year old daughter. What a great evening. It doesn't matter where you are seated as you can see everything from anywhere in the theatre. It is a small theatre but the actors really did manage to use the space well. The characters interacted with the audience and were absolutely brilliant. The seats are comfy and give you plenty of space so you don't feel like you are sitting on top of someone else. A great night out with easy and free parking.

Having visited x3 times before we were looking forward to a relaxing drink in the bar before the 7.30pm show. Left manchester by car at 6pm. Lots more traffic than usual. As you follow the signs from the dual Carriageway you are led into city centre Bolton - and every left turn for the theatre was blocked for building work or no entry. Had to park near a large market hall and run in the rain to get to the theatre. 7.35pm. Front doors locked. When we were let in we had to wait in the upstairs theatre bar for an appropriate time to enter the auditorium. Only x10 mins but still annoying. Maybe details on the website about the city centre building disruption would be an idea. Great staff and good - long show.

Have been to see a number of plays here, Educating Rita is another in a long line of outstanding performances. The theatre is intimate and staff helpful and welcoming.

Excellent production which was in the round and when actors had their back to you it was difficult to hear what they were saying, On a few occasions we missed the laughs. Friends who were sitting closer also missed the diction when the actors faced the other side. A central microphone would have helped.

I took my grand daughter and a friend and her elderly mother to see bfg, even though we were sat high up on the back row , the view down was un obstructed
Clear view of all the stage excellent production, enjoyed by every generation.
