My Granddaughter and I are nature and wildlife lover's and love to watch Spring / Autumn watch on tv. So what a treat to see Martin and Lolo live. We purchased VIP Tickets and got to meet them both for photo's and chat. They were both so friendly and helpful it made my granddaughters and my night. Martin and lolo were so entertaining. Well done to the Garrick and the Wildlife Trust for putting on a Great show. Good value and helpful staff.

The theater is spacious with good leg room in front of the seats in the stalls. The theater is well laid out with lift access for disabled wheel chair users. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable on the layout and seat rows of the theater. Great atmosphere. Ice creams are available at the intermission and drinks could be pre-ordered.

What an amazing performance, well written by the solo actor telling with so much passion a true story and after such an exhausting performance he sat for post Q & A . Would definitely book to see David William Bryan again.

A really nice modern theatre in the city centre close to the train station, bus station and taxis.. Lovely auditorium and comfortable seating as well as a cracking 'Green Room' bar and small cafe. Spotlessly clean with first class toilet facilities and lovely staff
Seen a few shows there now including the brilliant Syd Lawrence Orchestra last week.
The Garrick manages to do what a lot of much larger theatres fail to and that is to give a wonderful night of entertainment in very pleasant surroundings

Went to see "Some Guys have all the Luck" and it was a brilliant show. A couple of month before I saw Simon and Garfunkel Story, which was also worth seeing. Bottom line. Excellent Tribute acts at a very reasonable price with easy access and parking. Great choice of Shows, something for everybody,

Went to the Garrick the other day to see the Syd Laurence Orchestra.
Good fun with good musicians and authentic 40’s and 50’s sounds.
If they come to Lichfield again, go see them.

We go to the Garrick quite regular. We don't live to far from Lichfield, so it's our Local Theatre. We can park easily in the covered car park...you don't have to pay after 6.30pm, and it's just a 2 minute walk, and you're in the Theatre. We arrived at 6.40. The Green room was already busy with people eating, and drinking, so we went upstairs to the upper Bar which was easier getting served.The Staff are so efficient. We had our drinks, ordered the same for the interval. Talon always put on a good show, this is the 4th time we have seen them. This night WAS EXCELLENT!! Their humour is great! In the interval our drinks were there waiting for us. A member of Staff took our order number and showed us our drinks. It saves you queuing at the Bar!.If there is criticism toilets too small. We love the Garrick .....keep the shows coming!

WOW WOW WOW....an absolutely spectacular show, PLEASE return again. The energy of the performers was awesome and the singing just spectacular The seating is a little tight could do with a few seats taking out of each row to allow a little more room. However when you get a show as good as Bye Bye Baby you soon forget being squashed !!!! There is a selection of seating area to accommodate wheelchairs too

Nice place shame about the seating. It seams like they have tried to put too many seats in so everyone seams cramped together apart from the seats I think it could do with updating because in places it looks a little shabby. Enough said.

Absolutely brilliant show The singing was great and I have no idea where they got ttheir energy from for all the dancing.

Visited the Garrick theatre for the first time to see the Springsteen tribute show. The venue is very pleasant; easy to locate, no problem getting in, no real queues to get pre show drinks and comfortable seats when in the auditorium. The Springsteen tribute was excellent - played lots of the hits and also some more obscure songs from earlier albums which brought back some memories
Overall a first class evening - we are planning on revisiting the Garrick again to see another show and will also take in the Springsteen show again when its in the area

We know this theatre well and what a treat to be entertained by The Drifters who rocked the place for three hours (apart from the interval of course). Lovely welcome, very busy at the bar and coffee bar which caused a bit of a rush but what a joy to see a full house, on their feet and singing along. I only make one observation; whatever has happened to the air conditioning? It was stifling in the circle. Perhaps it was all the singing and dancing overloading it!! Dress code is typical theatre , I like to smarten up for a big evening.

A very enjoyable evening at The Garrick watching the Drifters. Very well organized, no queing, good facilities. The Drifters put on a great performance with all the favourite songs from way back. I will definitely go again and would recommend as a lovely evening out.

My husband and I were in the audience for The Elvis Years last night .What a show .Absolutely brilliant from start to finish . It was a wedding anniversary gift to each other and we both thoroughly enjoyed our evening out.
Mario Kombou WAS Elvis .Strong singing voice plus an excellent interaction with the audience . His backing singers and musicians were top class making it an all round lovely evening .

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
Love vicki

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.
