We saw 'singing in the rain' here today, fabulous singing, dancing and all round entertainment with real water effects! My friend and I attend every production and we're seldom disappointed, matinees are only £15 for senior citizens. Café and bar are great too.

We went here tonight to see "Get yourself together" a play from the reveal season which runs for a fortnight, showcasing new plays, writer's and productions. We have booked a few more but tonight was our first venture into this section of theatre at the octagon. The play was a one man show about a young man with depression and also the pitfalls of the benefits system when trying to look for work with mental health issues. We thought the show was excellent. We were disappointed that the play was not better attended / supported as these are usually excellent pieces of theatre and a great introduction to theatre for newcomers as they are very cheap at £5.00 for the majority of the shows. I would encourage people to go along to one of the productions as they are showcasing a wide selection and trying new ideas of plays in other venues and outside the theatre as well, including Early doors which is set in the Balmoral pub. I have attended various plays over a number of years at the octagon and all have been of a very high quality.

What a fantastic show from start to finish, the singing rain section was a triumph of stage setting and management. Excellent very versatile cast

Bolton Octagon is my favourite provincial theatre. It offers shows of an excellent quality performed and produced to a very high standard. My most recent visit was to see Singing in the Rain which turned out to be a foot tapping, high energy play of fantastic entertainment value.
Not only are the shows excellent but you can eat pre-theatre meals of a good standard which are well priced. At the interval try an ice-cream, they are some of the nicest you will ever taste!

Singing in the Rain - Fantastic show with amazing quadruple threat cast. Mesmerised the whole way through. Tap routines phenomenal. Octagon Theatre Bolton is currently rocking it putting on great shows and supporting local theatre and new writers.

Enjoyed a fabulous evening with the young cast of "Singing in the Rain" - such energy and enthusiasm - no one seemed to mind getting wet either. Lots of fun and laughter from the audience too. Great singing, great dance routines. Heartily recommend.

Very expensive bar at the Octagon theatre but at least it was pleasant with comfortable seating. Bolton has become very dreary, drab , dull scruffy and disappointing.
