Mackintosh has ambitious plans to significantly improve the 1,500 seat Victoria Palace Theatre. The theatre will close for around twelve months from autumn 2016, to tie in with surrounding redevelopment work. The stage will be extended by six metres, the front of house enlarged and completely overhauled and the auditorium and exterior restored to its full glory.
