The Broadway Theatre is in a prime location in the centre of the town. Originally built as an Odeon…read morecinema in 1937, the cinema closed in 1991 and stood idle for 6 years. It was purchased in 1997 and converted by a local entrepreneur into a theatre and art gallery, reopening as a 1,200 seat theatre in 2001. The interior of the Auditorium has been tastefully modernised but retains some of its original Art Deco character. The colour schemes are primarily creams and browns and the seats are well spaced and comfortable. There is an upstairs Circle Foyer bar with a reasonable amount of seating and the bar staff were friendly and helpful. I went to see the Australian Pink Floyd, a rock band, and band looked a little cramped on stage, but otherwise the performance and sound quality were both very good. Nice small comfortable venue, recommended.

The Broadway Theatre's now reopened (as of 12th of February 2011) and being run by StageLive.read more

I must say, I was very surprised with my most recent visit. I always avoided this theater, but…read morethey've put in a massive effort to improve over the past two years, and it shows. I would have previously agreed with the one- and two-star reviews; in fact, I've even driven all the way to Northampton to see a movie in order to avoid this place. However, after my most recent visit to see Spectre, I was pleasantly surprised. They've added a restaurant/bar area with beer and wine to the lobby, which is a nice touch. They've also added the premium "XLR" seating to the theaters, giving more legroom, wider seats, and a bit of recline for those desiring a more comfortable movie-watching experience. Most importantly, though, they've completely remodeled the bathrooms. The old bathrooms, with their sticky floors, running faucets, and various broken pieces, were the most unpleasant element of a movie here. Now, they're beautifully remodeled with new everything. Wood paneling, tile, new toilets, urinals, and sinks; everything. It's not a particularly memorable experience, but it at least pleasant now. They've stepped up their game and are definitely worth another shot if you're in the Peterborough area!

The Showcase Cinema wins the award for being the worst cinema in Peterborough, which isn't…read moresurprising as it's the only cinema in Peterborough. Based on that I would normally suggest it's also the best cinema, but it really isn't. Watching a TV playing through the window of Hughes is a better cinema experience than the Showcase. I'm pretty sure the seats haven't been refurbished since the place opened and it shows. I watched Batman at the Showcase in the 80s and I think there may still be some of my dropped popcorn between the seats. The foyer used to have a wide range of exciting arcade games for a youngster to waste his pocket money on, but the few machines left seem tired or uninteresting. Food and drinks are typically expensive, which is the same across the country but with nothing else to save the Showcase, just adds insult to injury. The Showcase has played on it being the only cinema in the city for far too long and a lot of people prefer to travel to Huntingdon's Cineworld (myself included). Avoid.
