Top class theatre
This is an excellent theatre with a modern, comfortable auditorium with good-sized top quality seats. My most recent visit was to see the new production of Cabaret - starring Samantha Barks (a nearly Nancy) as Sally Bowles, and Wayne Sleep as a suitably debauched 'MC'. It was a splendid production and typical of the high quality shows that the Rep puts on. There is also an excellent restaurant - the wineREPublic, attached to the theatre which does an excellent low-priced lunch. For less than a tenner, we enjoyed a superb main course ( fish, chips and mushy peas as it happens), a glass of house wine and a coffee. I'd recommend the restaurant if you're visiting the theatre - or even if you aren't - the food was so good, freshly cooked, well-presented and promptly served.
