My sis and I were walking around looking for things to do in Manchester and Royal Exchange was on…read morethe list of things to do! So we stopped by and we learned this: High Yield: If you go at 9:30 am you can pick up front row tickets for the featuring performance later in the day for 10 pounds! Details Interior: Beautiful modern modern theater. So when you come into the building, the theater is contained within a cool glass looking structure and there are different tiers for viewing. We went at 9:30 am to pick up the 10 pound tickets and then came back at 2:30 to watch our show. The colors of the modern theater are purples and blues. Inside interior is beautiful Play Watched: We watched Sweet Charity- without giving away details and the ending, it is certainly such a well performed play. The cast put their heart and soul, the dancing numbers were clean, and the vocals were solid. Very solid performance, and because it is a smaller theater than like Broadway, it felt very intimate and cozy watching this from the front row. This is rated PG 13 in my opinion, no dirty or inappropriate stuff but if you want the true nuances and understanding of this play, be prepared for talks of brothels and purity. The front seats are like coahces btw, so if you're a tall person, your legs may feel awkward. But if you're a shorty like me, it's totally nice. Refreshments: You can purchase drinks, snacks and pastries from outside- not the cheap popcorn and like soft drinks but like actually baked goods, wines, and stuff Audience: Generally an older audience, middle to upper class, mostly caucasian population

It took me a while to like this, being the traditionalist that I am, but once the musical (Little Shop of Horrors) was in full swing I fully appreciated the set up they had going on, with the audience sitting in a round and the stage in the centre. The acoustics were absolutely fantastic and the space created a really intimate feel. My only gripe is that the seats really are packed in, I felt quite claustrophobic and if I had needed to leave for any reason during the show at least three other people would had to leave their seats and move into the aisle so that I could pass. I will just need to bare this in mind next time I book...

I signed up for 1,5 months and regretting as I paid around £70 in total. Whenever I came there, the water in the jacuzzi was freezing cold! The same in the sauna, as there was no hot at all. The only OK was the steam room, but you had to pay for all the facilities, which weren't worth the price at all! I'm not recommending.

I found the staff to be very helpful, and they also sell additional bits, such as padlocks, flip-flops, towels, etc in case you forgot or don't have something. When I lost a key to my padlock somebody came to break it within 5-10 minutes, which I was very grateful for. The downsides are that they don't hire out towels (as do the other two gyms), is always cold in a female changing room which also has only two hair dryers, which is not enough when it's busy.

I am surprised other people give this place a good rating despite many noting the total lack of leg…read moreroom, overly warm auditorium and lack of a decent bar. The first two are two of the most important things to get right if you are to enjoy a show. I was so uncomfortable the entire time - and even my much smaller friend next to me was struggling with the leg room issue (but I have to say as a tall person I don't recall having this problem in a theatre before, and I have been to a lot). We were both mega dehydrated by the end and desperate to leave for a drink. If people are excited to leave your venue, that's not good. Re the bar issue basically I didn't even get near it the queue was so big and while this normally would not be a big deal to me I was pretty thirsty due to the tropical climate in the main theatre. The downstairs vending machines were also so temperamental that a queue formed there as well as everybody's money kept getting spat out. Given that space is a cafe (in the day?) it would seem logical to hire some more staff and serve drinks there too. If they could take out a few rows of seats and sort the temperature situation this would be a great venue because the stadium seating means everyone has a good view. But given the reviews pointing out the same faults I have go back over 6 years it doesn't seem like this will be happening. As an aside, Josie Long, who I saw here, was brilliant. However I would have to be really keen on the performer to come back here (and if I did would check seating plan carefully because there's a few seats with nothing in front of them).

Throughout the 1960s to 1980s, the Dancehouse was a five screen cinema. Left derelict for several…read moreyears, it was obtained by the Northern Ballet School and the Dancehouse Theatre in the early nineties and restored to it's art deco roots. Unfortunately, the Dancehouse's location on the bustling and smoggy Oxford Road means it already looks quite tatty and neglected from the outside. Inside it's more impressive with an intimate theatre, old fashioned cafe bar and 5 dance studios. As my fellow yelpers have noted, the Dancehouse programme seems to revolve around comedy, drama and the occasional gig - which I find mystifying. I saw Kathryn Williams play a truly enchanting show here many years ago and can't understand why the Dancehouse don't book more musicians. The acoustics that night were great and the intimacy of the venue should lend itself well to jazz, soul, folk, country and world music musicians. The Dancehouse's biggest crime however, is that when you look at their current diary there's not a single ballet or dance performance scheduled! To paraphrase Marvin Gaye - what's going on?

The Armitage Centre is fine. As Rob says, its got all you need for a little fitness centre, and…read morethere aren't any others in the area. Though it is open to the public, I think you'd feel a little out of place as a non-student, though there are a few gym buffs who have been knocking about in there every day since I first went four years ago. The gym itself is very small, but has everything you need, and has TechnoGym equipment, which seems almost everywhere these days, probably because it's the best. Its exactly the same equipment they have at Virgin Active, and though much more squashed together, its less than half the price to use. Another great thing about the Armitage is the little 5-a-side football pitches, which you can either rent out or play on in a league. Leagues run every night of the week so its convenient for everyone. If it rains heavily its probably worth cancelling though, as the concrete pitches are not level and huge puddles make playing a serious health issue. They're the only pitches nearby except Power League, which is incredibly expensive. Nothing special but nothing wrong with it.

It houses sports some basketball courts to massive football fields to the 5-a-side as well at the back. Not only this, but it caters as a conference and exhibition centre. Thus, it functions as a conventional sports centre during the university semesters and then as the exhibition centre, giving people a chance to always be a part of it. It also has Netball, hockey and volleyball courts giving you the chance to explore whatever interests you! It also has a fully equipped gym which attracts quite a lot of students with their student deals et al! Its a great all in one place to come work-out, play around and catch up with friends! I've always loved the fresh atmosphere it cities!
