Lichfield Garrick Theatre & Studio
Latest Reviews
First visit to the Garrick to see "Woman in Black"..the production itself was superb, minimal props and just two actors who told the story in the most dramatic, imaginative and believable way..amazing. The Garrick is a lovely little theatre, great facilities and friendly , helpful staff. Some seating on the pavement outside to sit and have a pre show drink on a warm night. Really lovely and we will look out for future shows.

Excellent performance by Counterfeit Stones, very lively, interactive and full of energy. They put on such a good show and kept us all entertained with their humour and musical ability. Lucky to have this venue in Lichfield !

We went to see Joe Pascale, it was a good show. The theatre is a smaller theatre. I am less mobile and found getting in and about was easy, the staff was very helpfull, smart and above all, smiling

From the moment you enter for perhaps a snack and a pre show drink you are felt valued by the smiley friendly staff.
The well kept theatre is spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained. All in all a great little theatre that punches well above its weight for an evening at the theatre

This is a little gem right in the centre of the city ideally placed with easy access and parking within a few metres. Has facilities for eating and drinking. It is a compact little theatre with a very diverse programme of attractions throughout the year. Well worth booking a show if you are visiting the city.

Went to the Garrick Theatre for the second year running to see Barry Steele doing a fantastic tribute act of Roy Orbison. The Theatre got in touch with me at the last minute as I had left my name for a cancellation. The Theatre was packed and the performance was superb. I believe a tribute act needs to be extra special to avoid criticism, but Barry Steele lived up to every expectation and it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Enjoyed a drink at the interval and the staff and service was excellent. I would recommend a visit to a superb Theatre.

From the time you enter the "Green Room" for pre theatre drinks until you leave the theatre, you will be feeling happy/sad/euphoric etc. depending on which of the wide variety of entertainment that is available, that you have seen.
There is something for everyone.... stage shows, old and new, amateur productions, various artists and many more.
Enjoy.

We went for the last day screening of The Hired Man, a Melvyn Bragg musical.
The cast were good, & projected their voices quite well without microphones.
Followed the jist of the whole story.
Not necessarily to my liking, with all the singing, but still good nonetheless.
The auditorium wasn’t full.
Staff friendly.

My daughter & i went to see The Hired Man this evening ! What an unbelievable performance from EVERY single cast member ! It was so wonderful my daughter is actually going again tomorrow evening ! The singing voices from 'Emily ' & ' John ' are outstanding & we also attended the question & answer session after the show. Thank you all your help with seating arrangements & being accommodating with my daughter regarding the height of safety barriers too . All round a fabulous evening . Thank you to all.

Tickets are easily booked by phone and ready for collection at the box office. The structure of the whole venue is interesting as each one of the four levels has its own facility, bar or dias. Amateur dramatists occupy several of these arenas to present ad lib performances before a show starts. Once inside, the theatre has retained a delightful circle, with six clear boxes and stalls below. Viewing from all is good and microphones are used discreetly. The performance was outstanding (The Hired Man) but the seats themselves are very cramped. I am short and found the seating restricting; how a much taller person would find them poses a big question. That said, a full range of refreshments are available before the performance and during the interval. Drinks could be taken into the auditorium. Very friendly and helpful staff, publications for future events all around although these could be more formally presented. Toilets were all clean and good. Access to all levels gained by lift and staircase. Seating for the disabled would be made available near the boxes. Car parking is free after 6pm in Lichfield and poses no problem at that time.

Standards and customer service are still slipping.
What training do the door stewards receive? Why do they not suggest that people with higher number seats, eg #23, #24, walk around the front of the auditorium to the far side rather than start at seat #1 and everyone has to get up to let them through? It isn't rocket science but as the stewards do not even look at tickets now ....

We have visited the Garrick Theatre a great number of times over the years,seeing a variety of productions. Each time we have been, we have never been disappointed. The theatre staff are very helpful, polite and friendly. The production of their Christmas pantomimes are always top class, and we will keep taking our grandchildren to see them for as long as possible.

Great shows always put on here and staff are always helpful! They manage to make sure everyone in the interval is served in time before the show restarts

Great theatre with a variety of different types of shows, been a few times now and always had brilliant time. Every seat has a good view, been near the front and also sat on the very back row and I can't complain about the view or the acoustics.
There is also good parking right next door on the multi storey car park.
Check out the website and if you book online you can even see the view of the stage from your choice of seat before you confirm your booking.
Good bars with quick service too and you can order your drink for the interval.
All in all a great little theatre in a great little city.

We went to see the tribute band ELO Again! A good night was had by all, great show, great seats and a great price. One tip is I wouldn't buy on line and arrange for collection on arrival. The system failed and there were no tickets waiting for us, I really thought we were going to miss out. However they sorted it out in the end and printed off some new tickets - all's well that ends well!
