Lichfield Garrick Theatre & Studio
Latest Reviews
Most enjoyable performance. We chose this event because our original selection of Quill which had to be cancelled due to bad weather earlier this year. Snow, ice etc. Garrick management e mailed me to let me know and provided tickets for the Beatles. Grand show and it came with the customary welcome from the theatre staff, so thank you all.

Superbly organised, hassle free evening. We arrived around 5:30 and set up for the evening. The staff were friendly and helpful, the screen was superb and easily viewable by all. We’ll definitely be rebooking.

This is our first visit to Lichfield and we had booked online for this show knowing nothing about the theatre or the play. What a lovely gem of a theatre The Garrick is. A most enjoyable production put on by an amateur group, in the studio theatre, who were most professional in their delivery - it certainly kept you guessing until the end. The seats are more comfortable than in a lot of theatres we have visited. We enjoyed a coffee in the green room before the performance began. The car parking is nearby and is free after 6.30pm. A lovely evening out.

Being of Irish descent this really appealed to me. Tickets were booked for Saturday night's performance and we arrived to find that a couple of the stars of the show were outside the front of the Garrick. One of the chaps said "I'm in that poster" and sure enough he was!
The show was absolutely fantastic - the authentic looking set and fabulous background films only adding to a wonderful atmosphere.
The energy, singing, dancing, instrument playing and brilliant narrative led to a most entertaining evening.
The only downside? Sitting in the stalls, every so often bright white lights would flood the stalls and they really hurt your eyes. Are they really necessary?
Needless to say, whilst we will definitely be back, we won't be sitting in the stalls again.
The Garrick is a beautiful small theatre offering a wide range of shows but we will most certainly be looking to see this again as it was so very well done. My only wish? That I could have taken my Dad - he'd have loved every minute of it.

What a fantastic show, it was a brilliant atmosphere from the first song. Apart from the superb music the background films and beautifully narrated stories about the Dubliners story, made it such a great show and one I would highly recommend. I will certainly be looking out for the next tour. The stage set, in a bar, made it so authentic too.

We have been to this theatre a few times and each have been excellent. Staff are really nice, very friendly. The theatre is small, but this adds to the experience as you are so close to the show. We saw Seven Drunken Nights, a Dubliner tribute and it was fantastic. If you get a chance go to the theatre, you won’t be disappointed.

We popped into the Garrick Theatre which is just a short walk from the market place in Lichfield as we wanted some information on what was on.
Really friendly and helpful staff and plenty of leaflets available.
Very interesting and modern theatre that was opened in 2003,

First visit to the Garrick Theatre and very impressed with service we received. As for the show it was absolutely fantastic, if you get chance to see him I would highly recommend that you do. Very nice theatre and Will be going again when there is something I want to see. Really easy to get to with any form of transport.

Visited with my husband to see Mercury (a Queen Tribute Band). We chose seats about 4 rows back in the circle and we had an excellent view. Mercury were very talented and performed really well singing lots of Queen's popular songs. Just one criticism, on some songs it was difficult to hear the lead singer above the loud music, but apart from that the evening was enjoyable.

We went to this lovely intimate theatre to see 'Horrible Histories' and what a great time was had! Such a funny show that harked back to the music hall. Two witty and outrageously funny actor/comics did themselves and the show justice. A smart, tidy and cosy theatre added to the overall experience;we'll be back!

The Garrick is a good venue for a visit. It has a licensed bar and coffee lounge and snacks are available.They also have a small Studio theatre. Staff are friendly. The theatre is situated next to a multi-storey covered car park so minimal walking required.It is also convenient for shops through the adjacent arcade.

First time here, it’s a lovely theatre and love there’s parking so close by! (Pay&Display). Visited with 3 children (7,4,3). As soon as we entered the door we were greeted by a friendly man who pointed out the directions for us, toilets were clean! And the lady that took our tickets was friendly too. Ice cream was available during the interval (£2.50 mini tub), theatre itself was lovely, comfy seats and boosters for the little ones. Milkshake Live Show was brill, all the milkshake characters that my girls liked. After the show was no trouble to exit the theatre, was out in afew minutes. Shall definitely book other shows at this theatre.

Superb evening spent at the Garrick theatre. Welcomed from the moment we went in. Friendly Staff, good facilities and the Counterfeit Stones were simply brilliant. They had a superb songlist, great musical renditions, costumes and of course a touch of cheeky fun to their act. Sounded so realistic and with great dance moves from ' Nick' Jagger. Would go again without a doubt.

Me and my family come here every Christmas to see the show they put on. Always are as good as we expect. Their really family friendly and do make you laugh

We went see the Counterfeit Stones and it was brilliant. The Garrick combines intimacy at the same time as attracting great Acts. Even if you aren't a Stones Fan you will enjoy the Counterfeit Stones! Faithful to the music with their own sort of charisma on Stage. Looking forward to the next time they come to Lichfield!!!

We love any trip to this great little theatre. Ok so the Lady killers wasn't the best show but for the price, the fact its an amateur dramatic show and a general pleasant night out we were happy. If you want polished shows, travel into Birmingham and triple your ticket price + parking.

A brilliant night full of fab music & singing alobg with a few laughs. Well worth seeing. The energy and compassion was AMAZING. You wont be disappointed if you go and see this show. Great seats as well. The Garrick came up trumps again. Brilliant theatre.

Went along to this show as we're massive fans of the original movie, we've previously enjoyed an amateur production of the Graham Linehan version at Sutton Coldfield too.
Annoyingly, the theatre chose to let the local choir group practice in the upper foyer and block the door to our seats, they still hadn't moved with 5 mins to the curtain so we had to find our way round via the dress circle to our seats in the box.
This cast in this version struggled remembering lines and talked over one another due to missing their cues on several occasions, the director also chose to mimic the staircase with a piece of faux balustrade in the middle of the set - but this became quite an irritating distraction to be honest!
They struggled to get many laughs from the audience and a couple near us left after the second half started, not sure why didn't just leave at the interval. I know its only amdram so I hope I'm not being too harsh...

My Husband and I went to the Garrick to watch South Staffordshire College do their performance in the studio.
We had a great time and all the students were amazing.
Lovely venue, and we enjoyed it so much I'm going back tonight.

The Garrick is a lovely cosy and friendly theatre without the feeling of being in a city. Love to visit every time
