Advantages: A reasonable alternative to the Everyman with it's cheap alternative and trendy productions, but in no way as good. A good community atmosphere. Disadvantages: Cramped and sometimes mis-leading. Not the place to take posh Auntie Bessy for an evening at the theatre - that's the Empire.
This newly refurbished playhouse is along the lines of the Everyman with it's alternative, good value productions, but not as good.
Slap bang in the middle of the city centre, the traditional Victorian playhouse is joined to the newly added glass part (with the box office, cafe and space for community activities) offers reasonable prices for a varity of semi-proffesional to amature plays and musicals to the people.
I actually feel a little cramped when I'm sitting in the playhouse, and it does have a tendancy to get stuffy and warm. But after being abandoned and left to decay, you can't give it any grief to restoring it to it's former glory.
The newly-added glass part also has room for community activities, including free dance lessons, story book reading and craft workshops. Some of these also come with a play, so kids can ...

Advantages: No adverts, good value for money, good shows, often movies Disadvantages: When kids grow up, more Disney characters please!
Playhouse Disney is like the Disney Channel, only for young children. Children up to 5 will enjoy most of the shows because some of them are "interactive,"e.g. (Person On Screen): Stand up. *You don't stand up* (Person On Screen): Good job standing up. Me: LOL!!!!
So as you can see, it is more "interactive" then something like Bob The Builder.
Lineup
Mainly, these are the shows:
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Handy Mandy
My Friends Tigger And Pooh
Imagination Movers
Little Einsteins
Higglytown Heroes
JoJo's Circus
Bear In The Big Blue House
64 Zoo Lane
5 Minutes More
Franny's Feat
Harry And His Bucket Full Of Dinosaurs
Johnny And The Sprites
(Often movies)
Most of these shows you don't know are Disney! Mickey Mouse (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and Pooh (My Friends Tigger and Pooh) are basically the only Disney characters ...

Advantages: bright and airy inside, very good view of stage from seats, good shows, friendly staff Disadvantages: not right in the centre of town -across a very busy main road, lots of bushes for muggers to hide bahind at night , expensive bar
We went to West Yorkshire Playhouse yesterday afternoon to see a matinee performance of Bad Girls, the Musical. We had a fantastic time. The play was absolutely first class- so if you get chance to go and you know anything at all about bad girls, you will be in heaven!
I had ordered my tickets via an online ticket provider and they came within a couple of days-just what I had ordered and no fuss at all. We got two of the best seats in the house for 15 pounds each.
The good thing about the WY playhouse is that the prices are very good for excellent productions, compared to London theatres, anyway!
