Thank you for sharing this Helen! Which loo did you go to? We used the disabled one near the stalls and that one was fine, but having a heavy door differently isn’t ideal. How rubbish about the view, I recently had a similar experience in the accessible seats at Hamilton: https://www.lifeofpippa.co.uk/2018/05/06/hamilton-west-end-at-victoria-palace-theatre/

I saw wicked in Leeds and whilst I really enjoyed it I found the portrayal of disability difficult. In terms of Leeds grand, my wheelchair seat was as far at the edges of the circle as you get so was an awkward angle. The carers seat had a restricted view which was frustrating for her as she wanted to enjoy it too. The only other thing I want to mention was how heavy the disabled toilet door was – my able bodied carer struggled. But the performance was brilliant and I loved the use of stage and costume!

I’m not a big theatre goer but this does look pretty amazing! Lowen @ livingpositivelywithdisability.com
