Incorporating the Theatre Royal and the Royal Concert Hall
Originally constructed two hundred years ago, the Theatre Royal reopened in 1978, boasting elegant and airy foyers and bars, a 1,186 seat auditorium beautifully restored in Victorian style green and gilt decor and with fully comprehensive and technically upgraded backstage facilities. The Theatre Royal is now regarded as one of the best touring venues in the country, attracting major touring dramas, opera, ballet, West End musicals and, of course, an annual pantomime.
The Royal Concert Hall is one of the most popular concert venues on the touring circuit, attracting leading orchestras, comedians and dance acts plus rock bands and solo artistes from all over the world. Its versatility and size make it ideal for conferences, exhibitions, scientific lectures and product launches.
The Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall are served by one Box Office which is located in the main entrance foyer of the Royal Concert Hall. It is open from 9am to 8.30pm Monday to Saturday and handles the sale of millions of tickets every year. Tickets can also be booked online at www.royalcentre-nottingham.co.uk or through the box office on 0115 989 5555.

An Evening with the Legendary John Cleese
Best known for his idiosyncratic turns in Monty Python's Flying Circus and Fawlty Towers, John Cleese has done it all. From writing, to starring in plays, musicals, theatre and comedy productions, to films and sitcoms, now it’s time for him to tell you about his jam-packed life up close and personal.
As Cleese says, ‘it is an evening of well honed anecdotes, psychoanalytical tit-bits, details of recent surgical procedures, and unprovoked attacks on former colleagues, especially Michael Palin’.
The Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall Nottingham are giving one lucky person the chance to win 2 tickets to this event on Thursday 12th May 2011 - a prize worth £65!

Review title : Sleeping Beauty with Joe Pascale, added by : Lisa (13/12/2011)
Event reviewed : What's On at the Theatre Royal
"We were lucky enough to have tickets for the opening night of Sleeping Beauty at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham.
Right from the start, you were transfixed by the fantastic sets, the costumes and the music. Joe Pascale did not disappoint and gave a wonderful performance - his adlibs were particularly funny and he had the cast in stitches, as well as the audience!! The rest of the cast were also superb.
The special effects were amazing, especially the bits done in 3D (definitely one of the best 3D films I have seen) and we are still wondering how they made the motorbike fly!!!
This is definitely a show for the whole family - some of the slightly ruder jokes certainly made our 7 year old son laugh and I have no hesitation in recommending it as a great way to get into the Christmas spirit.

Review title : A Must-See Show, added by : Lisa (21/09/2011)
Event reviewed : What's On at the Theatre Royal
"We went to see Slava's Snow Show at the Theatre Royal with no real idea of what to expect. I'm not a big fan of clowns, so did wonder if I would be bored after a short time. However, this is one show that I would go to see time and time again.
The vivid colours, the clever but humorous choreography of the characters, the extremely catchy music and the continued audience participation all added up to an evening of pure pleasure and all with very few words from the actors.
Giant cobwebs, huge floating balls and more snow than you can shake a stick at, the surprises just kept on coming. Just when we thought that they couldn't pull anything else out of the bag, the finale was nothing short of breathtaking. If you get the chance, go and see this show - I guarantee that you will leave with a smile on your face (and snow in your hair!)"
