Entertaining but limited

We were very fortunate with our guide who was thoroughly entertaining and informative. However the tour itself was a little limited in scope and short in duration. Probably not a good idea to have tours shortly before a (matinee) performance.

A little disappointed

I was a little disappointed with the content of the tour. The tour guide was brilliant and very knowledgeable but the tour just seemed quite flat. The only place we got to go was into the auditorium and sat in a seat. That’s it. I could have seen that just by booking a ticket to a see a show. I would have expected to have gone backstage, dressing rooms, on stage etc etc. Disappointing.
