Triptide Thoughts

Its location is perfect for theatregoers, and at night the lights of the theatre dazzle the street in great glimmer. So even if you don't want to see a show, it is definitely worth walking past the theatre. The current show "The Book of Mormon" is controversial but yet has been HUGELY popular:
"If you are easily offended or hypersensitive, don't go and see this show. If you want to see the funniest live show you'll ever see; this is the one. It's absolutely hilarious. I couldn't recommend this show highly enough."
"I haven't laughed so much in a long time! I have no idea how to explain this show to anyone else - you just have to be there"
"Loved the show, had no idea what to expect but was so funny, also amazing acting and singing. Highly recommend!"
