I bought front row seats to take friends to see a comedy classic. I was so embarassed, the actors performed good in character but the script was diabolical. We along with others left at the interval, sad to see such a superb location host such a pathetic performance

One of the best Theatres I've been too and it never disappoints . The shows and the staff have always been spot on in my view and the Auditorium is stunning and this place always keeps variety alive .

This is a gem of a theatre which is well worth the visit. We saw Ken Dodd and had a whale of a time - didn't leave until after midnight! The Grand is well named, as it is a grand old lady. Fabulously restored, this historic theatre is veritable star in Blackpool's firmament - please go visit!

we were front row of upper circle which has poor leg room- probably more comfortable if you are tall lower down.
