Words of Support:

"It is always a long and upward struggle, I know, but worthwhile in the end"
"It looks a wonderful jewel of a theatre"

Stuart Hall-broadcaster
"It is vital to restore this gem and it is a gem, back to its original"

J. Trevor Truman-artist and musician
"If Hyde is to be the forward looking place it seeks to be and live up to its motto 'Onward' why not re-open the Theatre Royal and put Hyde fully in the forefront of
the new Millenium where it should be"

Councillor Roy Oldham
"I am pleased to hear of Theatre Royal Onward's plans to restore the Theatre and I wish you every success with the project"

Bill Kenwright
