Always a great evenings entertainment. New bar staff should be bit better trained before letting them loose on customers. I asked where door c was and the reply was "I'm sorry, I have no idea.". A little knowledge of the layout of the place would be worthwhile training.....or even if she had asked the guy serving next to her. Still a good evening though. Good variety of shows.

The Garrick is an absolute treasure to our locality. It is always clean and tickets are always well priced making good value nights out. The staff are always great and were extremely helpful when my mother in law was taken ill during a show. It saddens me really that people are leaving negative reviews on the basis of a show they have seen that they did not enjoy, you wouldn't blame a cinema if you watched a bad film ? Obviously The Garrick don't write and produce every single show that they host so have some common sense please. Support your local theatre, because we are lucky to have such a good one.

Visited during the Xmas period with wife and 4 year old. The theatre was clean and nicely set out. The performance was very good and everyone enjoyed the show. The price of the theatre these days is not the cheapest and may deter people from going ,but if it is a one off then it is well worth the visit. The only gripe about the place are the refreshment and toilet facilities. There just seemed to be large cues to get food and drink in the theatre and people were struggling to get out of the exits. Would visit again to treat the little one.

Great way to spend Boxing Day Afternoon, we went last year and decided to go again this year and we weren't disappointed Pantomime enjoyed by all in the party from a 4 year old to a 52 year old. Hopefully we will be back next year

Went to see the Pantomine Jack and the Beanstalk we had the same seats we had the previous year and had a very good view of the stage. Last years Pantomine was very good this years was even better more of a traditional Pantomine with good singing and excellent dancing and plenty of laughs even though some of the jokes had double meaning it was for children but some of the jokes were adult but children are more aware of things today. The show was sold out and everyone had a good time and joined in booing the baddie it is a very good and well worth seeing.

The Deegees and Saturday Club run by Louise and her team is a fantastic confidence-building opportunity run in such a wonderfully friendly, supportive and fun environment. My children love it and their Christmas production of Jack and the Beanstalk was a brilliant performance and showcase each of the child's special ability.

This years pantomime ticks all the boxes for me. Talk about audience participation it has the lot! We were booing & hissing, shouting 'he's behind you' at the tops of our voices. Without giving too much away you really must see Jack & the Beanstalk this season. Well done team Garrick & this years cast for producing a 'proper' good old fashioned panto!

My first visit to the Garrick. A place that puts on a full range of shows from panto, comedy, circus, jazz etc. The lift upstairs is well hidden if you are a newbie like me to the building, & also quite tiny for such a big venue. The stage is obviously bigger than it looks as the Panto props for today were quite big & all well-hidden out of sight when not in use. A lot of singing, felt more like a musical show then a show for laughs at time. They over did the promotion of the sponsors to, even devoting a whole unwanted singing section to them that was not part of the show itself. Not certain if I'm inclined to re-visit a panto after today’s show.

We go here at least three or four times a year! All the shows are great and sometimes feature celebrites! The Christmas pantomimes are definitely worth going too! And so affordable! Great food served during the interval!

Visited this theatre for the first time last night to see The Stylistics. Not a terribly big theatre but enjoyed the almost intimate feel. The acoustics were very good. Conveniently located for the railway station and Lichfield City Centre. Would not hesitate to visit again.

This theatre is rented out to groups and organisations which wish to hire the venue. from local amdram and musical societies, to brass band, single artists and pantomime, there is something to suit everyone. Prices are reasonable (not the ice creams). The stalls has more space between the rows, seats are comfortable. There is a lift and two bars. there is only one entrance/exit. Accoustics are not brilliant, and the boards are noisy when a ballet company performs, but it is a good night out at a reasonable price.

its a venue thats not really designed to be a venue. The way its all mapped out doesn't make sense, and if its a full house the bar cannot handle the number of patrons. People pre order their drinks for a show, knowing that it will be busy. I haven't heard of anything more ridiculous. I dont know what I will feel like to drink until the day, so I tried the bar, and it was just full of angry patrons trying to get served. Next time Ill go to Birmingham for a show, it will be less hassle, and the venue can actually handle people to go in before a show, without the feeling of being pushed out onto the curb.

As a last minute treat bought tickets to see Peter Pan with my grandchildren. Staff were very helpfulAs a last minute treat bought tickets to see Peter Pan with my grandchildren. Staff were very helpful from start to finish, only downside being shown to our seats when it was suggested we used a different door to the one stated on the ticket, only to find if we had used the door stated on the ticket it would have been easier. Bottles of soft drinks were expensive and they didn't have any of the ones that were displayed. None of this took away any of the excitement the children had. The performance was excellent and seats perfect for us. We were front row circle. Grandchildren aged 11, 8 and 6 loved every minute but would have liked to participate in booing at Hook or even shouting "I do, I do, I do believe in fairies". They thoroughly enjoyed it though and were quite mesmerised, with very little fidgeting. My 6 year old granddaughter loved that she met the wife of the tallest pirate, who had sat next to us and got chatting to in the interval, and she fixed her eyes on him for quite sometime. Her favourite part of the show was obviously when Peter Pan flew across the stage.
I don't think you could single out any of the actors, they were all amazing, from the lost boys to Peter Pan. Well worth the visit.

A very impressive performance.. A good selection of Phil collins and Genesis songs plus some Motown songs thrown in for added interest. I Will certainly go again to see this group again.
