Chorley Town Hall Chorley reviews by real event-goers

Review of Northern Soul & Motown

Great event would attend again, totally recommend to anyone

Review of Beauty & the Beast

The performance was good but you couldn’t hear what the performers were saying/singing as the background music drowned it out, it was all very muffled, really was a shame as it’s an amazing venue.

Review of Beauty & the Beast

Brilliant performance! Kids loved it.
Thank you x

Review of Beauty & the Beast

Unfortunately, the sound system let the poor crew down. We couldn’t understand a word they were saying. It was so muffled. A few people walked out. Shame as the actors did a great job

Review of Beauty & the Beast

A brilliant Christmas pantomime. M and M productions were a very good company. My children really enjoyed the show.

Review of Beauty & the Beast

Poor sound quality, and the show was all over the place

Review of Aladdin

No atmosphere during the first half, couldn’t hear any of the actors so I did not have a clue what was happening, over half of the audience left after first half, I still don’t know why there was dancing skeletons or a washing machine or how it was related to Aladdin in any sort of way, so I don’t know how the children would.
As for the some of the other comments calling the children feral, in my opinion they created their own entertainment and were just trying to enjoy an already bad show.

Review of Aladdin

Sound was a bit poor in all honesty as the only Mic that worked properly was the fairy. Despite only being on 5th row we couldn't hear a lot of dialogue or songs. This perhaps caused some lacklustre from the audience. We didn't know all but 1 of the songs sung but that's likely on us as we don't like chart type music. Widow Tw**ky was great fun and best performance on the day. Theres no visual set other than a curtain and washing machine. Kids loved it when characters walked around the room and they could follow.

A lot of the audience left at the interval but the 2nd part was actually more entertaining imho perhaps as the kids all joined together at the front of the stage and there was a bit of interaction with the performers.

Wasn't in any way up to the standard of Chorley Theatre etc. But, for the money, kids were happy enoygh and that'll do me.

Review of Aladdin

We struggled to hear what they were saying, the microphones were loud enough just for some reason it wasn't very clear, particularly the males.
There wasn't enough crowd interaction in the first half, this improved in the second half but a lot of people had already left by then!

Review of Aladdin

Luckily it was only £5 a ticket but honestly wasn’t even worth this.
It was such a poor set up, poor acting and poor show.
We stayed until the end but genuinely, 75% of the audience (if not more) left half way at the interval as it was that bad.
There was kids running crazy around too…I understand children being around as mine were here too but there is a time and place and these feral children running around like lunatics ruined an already very poor show even further!
Overall- jealous of anyone who couldn’t get tickets as they didn’t have to sit through this

Review of Aladdin

The show was awful, nothing like aladdin, you couldn’t tell what they were saying, it was too quick and not clear enough, no Disney songs and just didn’t make sense! There were dancing skeletons?! We left at the interval because our toddler said I don’t want to watch this show ha! We wouldn’t go to one again.

Review of Aladdin

This was the first Panto we took my son too and I’m very disappointed with the production. This was advertised as Aladdin pantomime and we couldn’t understand what was happening it didn’t relate the the story of Aladdin whatsoever. The set it’s self was very poor the microphones where hit and miss so we couldn’t hear some of the cast. This was advertised as suitable for all ages and unfortunately we had to leave half way though due to my son being upset over the skeletons that came out. I’m not quite sure why skeletons were involved in the pantomime of Aladdin. I would like to contact the events team for this production to request a refund for such a terrible experience.

Review of Aladdin

Where do I start? The acting was good and as expected from a kids panto. That's where the good points end. The microphones were turned up so loud no one could understand what was being said. Kids lost interest because they couldn't hear what was being said and started running riot. About 30% of the audience walked out. I had earplugs in all the way through.

Review of Aladdin

Brilliant show for kids

Review of Aladdin

More of a school performance. Set poor, sound poor and story didn't make much sense

Review of Aladdin

Would not recommend.

Review of Aladdin

Maybe dim the lights a bit more have a snow machine more interactive with the audience, and not 2 hours long and let the kids sit at the front in a designated area as the room is too big for kids to see from the back, I appreciate the tickets where cheap but it lacked imagination and atmosphere
