Royal reopening for Crucible Theatre
Sheffield's Crucible Theatre, which is regarded as the home of the World Snooker Championships, has been officially reopened by HRH The Earl of Wessex following a £15.3m transformation.
A special ceremony was held on 18 February to mark the relaunch of the theatre, which has benefited from a complete overhaul of the auditorium to include a new thrust stage and new seating. New front-of-house areas with a box office have been created as part of the refurbishment, while a remodelled bar area, improved accessibility for disabled users, improved dressing rooms and an enhanced studio theatre also formed part of the scheme.
Sheffield Theatres' chief executive Dan Bates said: "Now re-open, the theatre will once again be of huge benefit to the public with an excellent set of new facilities and new programme of dynamic and exciting work."
