What a panto, we enjoyed it so much. We were a family of 16, three generations ages ranged from 2 to 70 and we all laughed so much, it certainly got the thumbs up from us. A real Christmas treat.

A lovely festive atmosphere at the Lichfield Garrick, just a disappointingly average performance. Having seen a number of performances from last years Christmas theatre company (New Old Friends), who we have also seen at the The Old Rep, for the cost of £17...this years £24 tickets didn’t bring a performance of a similar professional level. The story line for the play has potential for great comedy value.

What a fabulous time my grandson and I had at Charlie and the Christmas Cat. The customer service was superb. I was unable to use my tickets on the Wednesday as something else had been booked for my grandson and they were able to move my booking to the Friday instead. A very pleasant lady helped me with that over the phone. The theatre staff were smiling and helpful and clearly enjoyed working there. The studio was just the right size for the show and the seat boosters are a great idea for the little ones. I would certainly recommend the Garrick to others. The performance was excellent and a absolutely suited to the young audience. The performers were fabulous and there was great interaction with the little ones. My grandson laughed throughout and his face was alight with happiness - he loved throwing the snowballs at the cat. I thoroughly enjoyed it too. A great experience.

As a family we have not missed a panto in 15 years and this year's production of Cinderella was the best we have seen.
The cast worked hard and it was a great evening.

We went to the Panto at the Garrick Lichfield last weekend to see Cinderella all the family went young and old, every one of us enjoyed it, fantastic from the start to the end, seems to get better and better every year. Many thanks to the `Theatre, Actors, and Staff. Well done.

This year’s pantomime has to be the best ever. The scenery, props and cast are second to none. Both adults and children loved every second and as a 70 something, great grandmother, I loved it most of all. If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you do.

The atmosphere and the general interaction is amazing. You feel like you are a part of the pantomime and it makes it more enjoyable. But there are random seats spotted around (especially around the back) that can block your view of the stage and it is quite annoying.

We took our granddaughter to see the pantomime Cinderella, I have to say it was excellent it was very funny and stage and settings were fantastic. Well done to all the cast and musicians and also the staff who showed us to our seats.

It was a little complicated to book on line as we wanted to book a child ticket along with two adult tickets, as there was no concessions for pensioners it was quite an expensive venture for us. Therefore we expected good value for money and we were not let down by the 'production' we and our grandson thoroughly enjoyed the whole pantomime. Ice creams to a captive clientele were very expensive and in future I will do as others and take my own treats instead. The Garrick is a lovely theatre with comfortable seating.

I was thrilled to be invited to the Away in a Danger press night. It far surpassed my expectations, and we had a great evening. It was so professional, clever and amusing. It was like attending a London Theatre opening evening, but in the comfort of Lichfield. I would recommend this production to anyone. It was a privilege to attend the first night.
Thank you to Matthew Clay, the cast and all involved in this brilliant production.

Very impressed with plenty of friendly and competent staff. Nice atmosphere in bar area, easy access to seats. Very good Motown show, very entertaining, thoroughly enjoyed. Easy to exit the venue to nearby multi storey carpark.

We've been to a lot of great shows at the Garrick but this was our first visit to the Lichfield panto - we usually go to Wolverhampton Grand but were disappointed last year so decided to give the Garrick a go. What a brilliant night!!!! The cast, costumes & sets were superb; we enjoyed it so much we've already booked for next year. Well done to everyone involved.

Parking is easy, round the back of the theatre and it’s free for blue badge holders (regardless of how long we were parked as long as your in a disabled spot) with a very short walk to the coffee bar in the theatre. From there the staff can’t do enough to ensure you have a good visit, helping us to the easy lift ride and access to the box with four very comfortable chairs. I am not convinced we would have been half as happy in the fold down seats in the main auditorium. However our comfortable view point of the children screaming with joy at the performance was brilliant! The many costume changes of the ugly sisters, the “magic” change from Cinders to Princess Crystal along with the sensational carriage pulled by flying horse were all amazing moments in a very enjoyable pantomime. Thank you all for an incredible and joyful afternoon

We had a great visit to Lichfield Garrick last night. Easy parking across the road from the theatre, comfortable seats and it was warm , no drafts.
The production was first class, so much energy and enthusiasm from the cast and some fantastic singing. Well done to them all . Would definitely recommend a visit.

Nice venue, good access to seats which might lack a little leg room for some. Good view of the stage from all seats and nice sound quality. Nice to see staff policing the audience to prevent them balancing items on the balcony edges and using phones. Be nice to hear an announcement about holding conversations LOUDLY between songs and/or speeches - just a reminder to some that it is for EVERYONE's enjoyment, not just them.

Went to see razzle dazzle . Have been to the garrick numerous times , but never anything that included a dinner .
The tales where very tightly packed in , actual performances were really good . The how ever was a different story. Booked the tickets at the box office . No one asked about anyone being vegetarian etc . Not advised to notify them if anyone was either .
Food ( main course and dessert) self service . ( not an issue )stater was on the table which was bread, sun dried tomatoes, cheese. main course was ham with new potatoes or veggie opinion ( which had to be pre ordered, never told that ) with salad . Pudding did have choice of 2 . My vision of a 3 course meal was none of the above . ( it would be a hot stater , hot main and pud , due to time of year )
Would not go to another of these events with food , if like above

This is a local theatre and is quite an intimate venue. We were in row E and had an excellent view. The show was very good. The bar service is however usually rather slow and involves queueing to get a drink. You can order interval drinks.

Great fun in a great theatre, always a good view where ever you are .
Green Room bar is welcoming.
I like the Garrick , easy access from free car parking .
Worth a visit for any concert or show

Went last night to see Stuart Francis at the Garrick. Was a bit disappointed in the show the warmup act Olga was average and not very funny
She was on for about 20 minutes then there was a 20 minute break before Stuart Francis came on.
Stuart Francis was on for probably no more than one hour . He sure was funny most of the time but the length of time he was on for the money paid was not very good value would I go and see him again probably not show was finished for around 9.20pm

An excellent performance by all members on stage especially the lead vocalists.
Hard to improve on last night. Some still photos of Aretha were shown on a back screen. Would have liked even more and maybe even some video footage.
Super

Thoroughly enjoyed the performance, went on my own to pass the time and was incredibly surprised and enjoyed every minute, throughout the interval I spent little time at the theatre bar, being served by Becci, quick and speedy service, very cheery and bubbly. Will be recommending the Garrick more from now on!
