Lichfield Garrick Theatre & Studio
Latest Reviews
Have been many times to this theatre and always pleased with the show. Excellent seating and being a smaller theatre closer to stage and involvement. Panto's is always excellent

I attended the performance of Oliver in Saturday 12th March at 2:30pm and found that when myself and my two small children went to sit in our seats they were taken by other people instead. I had not purchased my tickets from the Garrick but through Walsall operatic society direct (who despite having sent several emails to are refusing to comment) so this is not the fault of the Garrick and they did do everything humanly possible to find us all seats close together so I will commend them highly for all of their effort. The staff from WOS were not bothered about the fact they had sold me the tickets and then resold them again and promised to rectify the situation during the first half of the show but in actual fact the guy left the theatre without attempting to sort out their messes or even an a simple apology about what was obviously their mess up.
The Garrick staff and management were amazing in doing their best when sorting out other companies inadequacies. Thank you again.

Went to see " a murder is announced " it was superb the actors were totally believable. The theatre lacks the glamour of large theatres but it felt much more intimate and cosy. We noticed that there have been comments about pricey sweets etc but at least I don't have to put up with rustling wrappers! Only one minor point please don't open the outer doors from bar into the theatre as the noise in the bar distracts from the end of the performance

Great theatre. Lots of variety in show programmes and the smaller sub theatre ( called the studio) is simply superb. Well supported by local amateur societies too. Great value and can't go enough. Plenty of local parking too.

We are Friends of the Garrick but are concerned that some areas need to be reviewed.
e.g.
- a very cold theatre recently
- price of drinks, e.g. water bottle for £2
- tables in the 'Green Room' blocking movement. Why have 2 tables in the middle of what should be a walkway?
- Interval ice cream trolley is now positioned by the exit from the main auditorium. Crass decision - fire implications, blocks the entrance for people going to the bar, no where for people to queue for an ice cream without blocking all exits
- stewards seem badly trained. e.g. why don't they suggest that people with higher numbered seat get to their seats via the far alleyway instead of the near entrance, thus causing everyone in the row to have to stand up? Isn't rocket science.

Almost everything we have seen at the Garrick has been excellent, especially the recent Alan Ayckbourn play, 'Round and round the garden. It was a very classy production.

Each time we have enjoyed our selfs and had good value for money.The Garrick is easy to get to, as its right in the center of town,with a car park, train station or bus station very close by.

Really enjoyable pantomine. Loads of adults with lots of kids so it was a perfect visit. Lots of fun but I'm not sure the country and western finish was required. But it didn't ruin it.

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.
