Playhouse Disney

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 ...

Review of Playhouse Disney

The Playhouse

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 ...

Review of Playhouse

West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds

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! Location It's a bit tricky to get to, so you need your wits about you- see the directions to follow... If you are coming by car from the north (Harrogate, Wetherby, Middlesbrough -follow the signs for the A58) You need to follow ...
