Lichfield Garrick Theatre & Studio
Latest Reviews
Been to the Garrick a few times and have always enjoyed our visits . Positioned in the centre of Lichfield and ideally placed with multi parking nearly opposite , perfect! The staff are most welcoming ,friendly and just make the visit feel special whether you are visiting an Agatha Christie play, a visiting tour...such as Pasha from Strictly or Comedy all seem very well supported here each with a pleasing and enjoyable atmosphere . We love this little theatre very much .

Saturday night was my second visit in recent weeks to The Garrick Theatre.
On this occasion it was for the excellent show, A Vision Of Elvis. The whole experience was enjoyable. Greeted be a friendly member of staff at the door, then onto the bar area for a pre show pint. The bar was busy but not uncomfortable, their is an announcement that the show will soon be starting, giving ample time to find your seat in the theatre. We were sat on Row D, seats 21 and 22. Four rows from the front and with an excellent view of the act, and a clear and crisp sound system. 'Elvis' was superb, as were his backing singers and band. Stage time was approximately 2 hours, with a short break in the middle. This gives you time to head for refreshments, which you can pre-order before the show and saves you queuing during the interval. You can buy tickets online prior to all shows, and choose the seats in what you wish to sit. Look forward to returning to The Garrick in the near future, it's a little gem and would recommend to everyone and anyone.

This is a great place to see artists, whether it be a live music show or a more talk-orientated event. Very intimate, with very few seats - everyone can be sure of getting the most out of this experience. Well organised meet-and-greets and book signings afterwards. Well worth keeping an eye on, as it hosts such a wide variety of events.

A close friend invited me last minute to see Tallin at the Garrick because her son was unable to go. We had a brilliant night and my friend Patsy got to meet Tallin afterwards to get an autograph and t-shirt for her son and daughter in law.
You can order drinks from the bar for the intermission, which was great.
I would highly recommend this venue for a night out with friends or family,

Visiting from Guildford we have GLive, built about the same time as the Garrick but GLive is as much a basketball court as it is a theater. The Garrick is a a cozy gem of a theatre, full of character it enhances performances instead of removing any sense of occasion for the audience. We we lucky enough to see The Dreaming at the Garrick. A wonderful entertaining musical given a sense of place and performance by the theater itself.

Enjoyed a super evening last night being treated to a mesmerising performance of Howard Goodall's musical. Visually and artistically stunning, the friendly ambience of The Garrick made it a night to remember. A wonderful theatre with very helpful, enthusiastic staff. A sheer delight.

Chris is now a very old but well loved Jazz Musician and known by many for his small and compact Jazz Band.
His venture into Big Band, effectively doubling in size was exceptional and enjoyed by all, by comparison as all group played the old band basic as well. A very enjoyable evening binging back memories.i

We are regulars at the Garrick for the comedy evening and love it everytime we go. The facilities are always good however the bar can be a little under staffed when you initially walk in for pre show drinks. I'd recommend ordering drinks for the breaks before you go into the show at the bar.
Overall a great night out

We went to the Garrick to see Rory Bremner and really enjoyed the experience. The theatre gives a feeling of intimacy and a real feeling of being part of the show.

We have visited the Garrick a few times.
It's a Great little venue even on the very back row you feel as if you are part of the action.
The acoustics are great and as long as the play/entertainer/band you have gone to see are half decent you will have a great night. (The variety offered is brilliant)
The staff are really helpful, there was a group of seventeen of us went last time we visited, the staff tried to get the best deal possible.
Plenty parking as there is a multi storey car park to the rear of the theatre which is free in the evening.

This was our first visit to The Garrick to see "Ventoux". The theatre is perfectly positioned with easy parking next door in the multi storey and only a few minutes walk to the nearby restaurants. Ventoux was a quirky show with the two actors being close enough to almost touch. A gritty performance highlighting the dark and tragic side of Le Tour de France

Absolutely great night out at the Garrick watching 9 to 5. Great performance - the only downside ... two girls in front of us chatting and using their mobile phones. When asked to be quiet received a mouthful. Should have just got a steward. Still, a good night out with great friends in a lovely little theatre.

We visited the Garrick to see Legally Blonde by the Lichfield Youth Theatre and were thoroughly entertained by a brilliant cast and a brilliant production. Lots of set/scene changes means they have a lot of volunteers working behind the scenes who are just as talented as those young actors in front of the curtain. A superb production. We go to lots of the Youth Theatre productions and they are all excellent and as good as anything on New York's Broadway!

We visited the Garrick to see this musical, performed by Sutton Coldfield musical Theatre Company - this is one of the best shows I have seen for a long time - the cast were enthusiastic, and the performance was outstanding - I have seen more polished performances at the Hippodrome and in the West End, but none so enjoyable - a standing ovation for am dram says a lot about this show - "stand up" performances all round

However,please support these venues.
Its a small intimate venue. Male toilets could be bigger.
Refreshments need a Better choice.
Will return when in town, depending on show.

We are blessed to have a theatre not too far from where we live. The shows that are performed there are top shows . It's great when a show you want to see comes there and you don't have to travel to London. We went to see the Invincible . It was only a small cast but the actors were very good. The theatre it self small but it is adequate and comfortable . There is a bar area which is nice it serves drinks and food.

My wife and I run a business caring for the elderly. We bought 9 clients to the panto at Christmas. They all had a great time. The theatre is lovely and the staff were very helpful.

Been to the Garrick several times. Nice theatre. Of course a lot of it depends on the act/event you are seeing to create the atmosphere. Always found the sound and the view are good. Intend to go back for some more events.
Downsides... some rows in the stalls have an metal pillar at the end (going to the boxes above) so best avoid the aisle seat. There is AFAIK after many visits only one male toilet and that is on the very top floor. Always long queues. The bar and café could to with an bit of a jolt. Last time no coffee as the machine had broken.(in any case they were short of ceramic cups so it would have been paper ones.) Then the cold drinks were served in dirty glasses.... apparently the washer "always does that" Like many we use other venues for pre theatre food and drink. A pity as with a bit of effort it could be a really good venue.

I went to the Garrick theatre to see a show that was on during Half Term with my daughter. I've been to the Garrick a number of times now and even though it is quite a small theatre, I find it to be one of the better ones throughout the Midlands.
