Wheelchair users can now fully access all on areas of the theatre, thanks to a newly installed lift, and mechanical systems have been improved, including a new cooling system to keep the audience at a reason- able temperature. Replacing a system that has been functioning in place for 128 years, an improved device ner - has been fitted in order to control flying scenery. This is in addition to a new hydraulic lorry lift which has now mhly. come into use which makes it easier to get large scenery into the theatre, which will hopefully attract a il.com greater variety of shows to Leeds. New enhancements that have been made to dressing rooms and rehearsal ge to rooms which ensure a greater degree of comfort for ask the performers, also increasing the venue's attraction. sign up But don't fret, us theatregoers will feel the benefits r check too. Extensive improvements have been made to the interior in order to maximise the comfort of the audi- ence. Deeper and wider seats have replaced the older, less comfortable ones. They even have 'special memory foam' inside them to mould around your body and new seats in the stalls have improved sight lines, getting rid of any blind spots that the old design neglected. The work is not yet complete, however. While phase one has been completed, phase two is ready for implementation and is expected to begin in early 200'7. More transfor- mations are going to take place throughout the theatre, including the conversion of the assembly rooms, which will become a new music centre for use during educa- tion workshops to help in spotting new talent. This room will also be used as a rehearsal space, and will provide a venue for hospitality events. The decor is also a planned part of the renovations: the intention is to restore the original Victorian tiles throughout the build- ing, restore the original leaded windows and bring the striking facade back to life again, celebrating what is often described as one of the most beautiful examples of Victorian architecture in the region. With the substantial improvements which have been made to the Grand Theatre, there is now a hope that it will once again attract the best theatre companies in the UK, as well as the most eager and passionate theatrego- ers. The first performance at the theatre was Much Ado About Nothing, on 18 November 1878, and since then it has seen a multitude of famous faces, including Julie Andrews, Felicity Kendal and Laurence OlivierAO con- tinue this trend of celebrity appearances, the theatre has a varied line up of performers, such as Jimmy Carr, Russell Brand and Little Britain. A number of musicals are due to be performed at the Leeds Grand as well including Me and My Girl, Grease, Ragtime The Musical, Annie, Voulez Vous. High Society and Acorn Antiques The Musical (directed and produced by Victoria Wood). Ballet aficionados can look forward to The Northern Ballet Theatre's production of A Christmas Carol and then A Sleeping Beauty Tale in February.
