Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We have watched many pantomimes over the years and this is by far the worst pantomime I have ever seen. The actors playing Jack & Jill were heavily let down by the poor sound quality, budget MDF set and cheap basic costumes. The theatre had no atmosphere, as the audience were not encouraged to join in for the whole first half. It didn't help that their wasn't a live band! Only three dancers on stage for the majority of the time, made the stage look empty! The theatre Itself is a tin hut!Basic, budget, fell flat, very disappointed!!!!! We will be returning to Lincoln or Newark for a true authentic pantomime experience, in a beautiful theatre!

The show was AMAZING, been a while since we all got out and I suggested the panto as the pandemic has made everything a bit gloomy last year and would be a good way to cheer us all up and that is exactly what it did. The performance was really good i enjoyed how they made it there own, it was a really good day and the staff were very friendly. I recommend to anyone who loves a good show!

The theatre has notices stating that video recording is forbidden. I saw Rumours of Fleetwood Mac last week and my view of the band was repeatedly disturbed by the person in front of me shooting around 20 video clips in her phone.
So my question to theatre management is, why have a policy and not enforce it? All it takes is a simple announcement before the show begins.
Either take down the notices, or enforce the policy. It really is as simple as that.

Nice venue not as busy as I expected it to be, it had a couple of hen dos going on who really got into the swing of things, they didn’t sit down all night. We paid £25 each for the gold experience and if I’m honest it wasn’t worth the money. The lad that served us was great and looked after us though.

The show was phenomenal. Parking was easy. The staff were great. The place was clean. The seating was AWFUL metal framed seats with hardly any padding. I was looking forward to the next visit but now I'm not. All the people that say around us said the same. Children seats.

went to see Magic Of mowtown last night. Good show apart from sound. Band bassist far to loud and not in tune. Every one was clapping and singing along. Singers all very good.

Shame on you, my partner just took my 1 year old in to see if we could use the baby changing facilities to be told NO. Who says no to a baby.. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Its middle of winter so are we expected to change him outside? Thank you to McDonald's that did allow us.

Paid to see Jim Davidson.. instead 1st half was a fellow called Myles...sorry but was not advertised as a double act. 2nd half where jim decided to perform was great.
Many people walked out during 1st half.
If I pay to see jim Davidson I expect him to do the full show. Very disappointing.

Went to see Fastlove (George Michael Tribute) last night with my Mum and oh my god it was amazing!!! “George” and his band got everyone going and it was truly an incredible night.
We had great seats and it was all a very smooth experience from scanning our tickets to getting snacks and being seated. Always wanted to go to the Embassy and so happy I finally did!
Free parking around the back of the venue was excellent too.
The snacks and drinks were very fairly priced to our surprise. Well worth a visit if you are in Skegness!
Thank you for a wonderful night! 💕

I would like to see more rock bands - tributes booked like in 2014 Deep Purple with ZZ Top, AC/DC Livewire - which were
excellent. All very well having tribute singing acts from the 1950s and 60s but would be great to have some great live music as well.
Also I found in my second year here in Skegness that the same acts are booked back again. More variety needed to suit all tastes.
Written 25 May 2015
Great news about Live Wire, thank you for booking them again. We also enjoyed the Status Quo tribute and Roy Wood and his band were fantastic. Will look online tomorrow to see if Live Wire has been added to the website to book. Cheers
