Went to watch the Full Monty with 2 friends, well what can I say, AMAZING, the whole cast did a fabulous job, would definitely go and see it again.

Touring plays with large casts are by definition expensive to put on - The Lady Vanishes was a strange piece - played for comedy not suspense. The theatre is large - the music played before the show and duning the interval was rather loud and intrusive. the bar os pleasant but a little small to accomodate everyone prior to the auditorium opening - better in the interval. Toilets are ok.

We came to see The Lady Vanishes yesterday afternoon, never been to this theatre before it was a cosy theatre & we had a great view & lucky enough to meet stars of the show afterwards we will definitely come back to see another production!!!

I went to see joe longthorne last Thursday at the garrick theatre in lichfield (one of my favourite venues)
I have to say I was really moved by his fabulous performance!
He had the audience cry with tears of laughter but also I know I had tears running down my face due to his emotional and powerful performance!
I learnt he had had major surgery on his mouth just weeks before and now has to wear new dentures which has obviously affected him.
His weight has obviously plummeted recently...
And he looked quite frail but with all that in mind
He carried on regardless and gave us a spectacular show and left us wanting more!!
What a professional showman...the option to cancel and recover was not an option for him quite clearly...and he filled me with tears of admiration.
I really hope he recovers 100 per cent and gets back to his good health but a big hug and a huge Thankyou goes to joe for giving me (and everyone) an evening to hold dear to my heart.....it was a real emotional nostalgic trip down memory lane.
I just hope I get the opportunity to repeat the occasion in the future
Get well soon joe

We've visited twice recently (despite living in Lichfield for years these were our first bodies!). I'm just so grateful to have this sort of venue in Lichfield. The bar and facilities are great, queues are well managed and overall my experience has been positive both times.
Yesterday we watched Old Herbaceous in the studio which was a fantastic show although the studio feels a little underwhelming, it's still a great space for a show like that.

It was the first time visiting the Garrick Theatre to see Mad about the Musicals and have to say was very impressed. Service was really good and staff very helpful. Family member had a sandwich with side salad and the portion was more than ample and definitely value for money. The show was excellent which added to the experience so overall an excellent evening out. Please support this theatre as they do put on great shows, with great service, friendly and helpful staff so what isn't to like about it. So many places now don't know what customer service is unfortunately but you can't say that about the Garrick Theatre, Go along and enjoy.

I visited the Lichfield Garrick for the first time last night to watch Mercury Queen tribute and I had an absolutely rockin’ night out! In my opinion, the Garrick is a very pleasant venue. It’s situated a 6 minute level walk away from the Premier Inn in Lichfield City Centre and only a four minute walk from Lichfield City train station.
All the members of staff I spoke to were very helpful and welcoming. The Green Room Bar and Cafe is a very nice place to spend time before a show, during the interval and after the show. I personally didn’t use the bar but it’s a very comfortable space. There are plenty of toilets and the facilities I used were very clean.
Having been in a number of venues over the years, I thought that the main auditorium at the Lichfield Garrick was excellent. There are no columns here to potentially block your view. I had a superb view of the stage from my seat near the centre of row F in the circle. The seats themselves are extremely comfortable and there was a perfect amount of legroom between the rows and space for bags. The acoustics were excellent. The house lights go down fully at this theatre, meaning that it goes very black once the show starts, further adding to the atmosphere and the performance on stage.
I would certainly visit the Lichfield Garrick again. I hope I get the opportunity to do so in the future. I would definitely recommend this venue.

There is a great little bar/restaurant at the entrance, interval was also great with a little coffee and cake at the on-site bar round the side (forget the name) and only about 200m walk from the train-station. Choose a good night and what's not to like??

An excellent show on the Simon and Garfunkel story. Excellent musicians, superb double act and an entertaining story complete with vintage us footage. Theatre was comfortable, no crush waiting for drinks and free car parking 50m away. This was our first time but we will be back

Great event. Last night was such great entertainment, we really loved the show and thought 'Simon and Garfunkle' and the band did an excellent performance. Would certainly recommend to others.
Good seats though other ammenities are rather cramped.

My Husband and myself went to watch our Daughter and her friends perform Rockbeth, the musical.
This show was performed by the South Staffordshire performing arts students.
Not only was it an amazing performance by very talented people but the musicians were provided by the college, the costumes and set, also.,
Amazing experience, my only moan would be that the Garrick theatre don't seem to advertise enough for the smaller shows which is a shame as these performers are your future entertainers!

Went to see Henning Wehn with a few friends on 12 May 2019. Enjoyable show and staff were excellent - friendly welcome with directions to the seats and helpful during the interval.

Had a very enjoyable evening at the Garrick, watching the sound of music. Excellent production and very true to the story. They had a few issues with the set and mics but this didn’t detract from the excellent acting/singing. The only thing that did bother me was 11 mobile phones went off during the performance, either calls, text messages or alarms - why can’t people just turn their phones off for an evening or at least put them on silent!

We visit the Garrick on a regular basis. This time for the matinee performance of 'Walk Right Back'. We are big fans of the Everly Brothers and were keen to see an accurate account of their life. We were not disapointed. Trevor Payne and his team had taken time to make sure the facts, instruments and the account of the boys lives were authentic. The artists we fantastic with the Everly Brothers being played by real brothers. The band were second to none. All around great show that proves the Garrick one of the best.

Visited the Garrick Theatre in Feb to see a musical tribute act. It was our first visit to this theatre and we were very impressed. Lovely theatre inside and out, easy to find in the city centre, convenient parking behind the theatre which is free after 6.30pm. Comfortable seating, the show itself was fabulous and we had a very enjoyable evening. We didn’t use the Green Room cafe/bar but it looks really nice. Thanks very much to the whole team at the Garrick, we’ll definitely be returning.

Yet another journey over to this lovely theatre to see the brilliant and talented “old friends theatre company” doing Death on the Nile.
These guys and girls are so talented and really funny, certainly looking forward to their next production.

Lovely theatre right in the centre of Lichfield. Parking nearby. Good choice of entertainment both amateur and professional. Good website for details of what’s on and booking tickets.
