This grand theatre was originally a huge cinema and it opened in 1929, but it had a major refurbishment in the 1990s and is now one of the most popular venues in the UK for musicals and concerts. The Christmas shows are popular, but there is also a steady season of dance shows and musical theater. It seats over 3,000 people, which makes it one of the largest theatres in the country in terms of audience capacity. You'll find it at the top of Leith Walk in the east end of Edinburgh and there are lots of lively bars and restaurants nearby.
