I’ve managed to be very lucky and catch a few shows at the Epsom Playhouse recently. An AmDram production of My Fair Lady back in April 2024, which was very good, and more recently Genesis Connected on Friday 20th September, which was fantastic and another AmDram show, Sweet Charity on Wed 9th October 2024 which was also great.
With the Genesis tribute act we were sat right at the very front so had plenty of leg room. I must admit that the show was so engaging and entertaining that I did not notice any issues with the seats. Although with the AmDram shows we sat further back and did notice a little bit of the seats being on the firm side. And the leg room was not so expansive. Still, I would definitely go again if another enticing show came along.
Genesis Connected band played some Genesis songs, plus Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel and Mike & The Mechanics and I pretty much knew all of the songs. It was loud enough so that I could sing my heart out and hopefully not disturb to many other guests that wanted to enjoy the show. Will definitely be seeing them again. Hopefully sooner rather than later. They were absolutely brilliant.
Sweet Charity was a good show, I do not know if this was originally a stage play as I did not recognise some of the songs from the film versation. The actors were very good and were from Banstead.
The staff seemed friendly and helpful. Not really a drinker so queueing at intermission was not an issue for me. The seats all seemed to have a good view of the stage. I also work nearby so could park at my office. Otherwise, the shopping centre car park is literally right on the doorstep.

I would use the playhouse more if there was more legroom. I have to weigh up how much I want to see the performance against the discomfort of airline like legroom for two hours and the likelihood of getting an aisle seat.

We saw the show the Rat Pack here which was excellent. The seating in the theatre to say the least is uncomfortable, low seats and not much leg room which rather spoilt the evening. Staff at the theatre were all welcoming and friendly. Parking is very expensive in the Ashley Centre It costed us £5

Good venue, fair priced tickets usually. A small cramped drinks bar which is quite highly priced but otherwise a good place to go and there's a multi storey car park adjoining the playhouse, so parking is easy.

I have to be honest here as I’ve been to plenty of ‘Am-Dram’ performances before in the past…Usually reluctantly, when either duty called, family, friends, kids, or just when I fancied an early evening nap. But just hang on a minute there and hold on to your test tubes and electrodes…As this fun filled Sutton Theatre Company’s stage adaptation of the original Mel Brooks Film classic ‘Young Frankenstein’ (sorry my apologies ‘Schteen’) was anything but Snoozeville! From charismatic lead Will Brown’s opening number with the wonderful ensemble cast, the stage was lit with colour, vibrancy, enthusiasm, humour, music and joy! In fact, the whole production was a blast from start to finish. Coupled with that innocent, but bawdy edged comedy that is all too sadly missing from most of today’s entertainment world. Indeed for a Wednesday opening night there was a very good audience in attendance too.

We laughed, we cried, we joined in the choruses and I fell madly in love with all the leading ladies, particularly Inga played by the gorgeously ‘leggy’ Lara Paterson. But just mentioning a couple of performers would be doing the rest of the cast a major injustice, as there were some pretty stand out stellar performances. Igor played by James Tingey was very funny and impressive as the Hunch back assistant, Jeanette Low suitably sassy and ‘Goldiggerish’ as Elizabeth Benning ‘No touching’ .Jamie Lumsden very convincing as the monster( is that a compliment), Nicky Radford very quirky and strangely seductive as the oddball Frau Blucher, ‘He Voz My Boyfriend’

Then there was Ben Horsburgh who literally gave up an ‘arm and a leg’ for his role as the Inspector in the show whilst Jeff Pearce’s Hermit performance completed a very accomplished set of lead actors. The ensemble too gave their hearts to every song and the familiar sing-along tunes meant that it was not just Frankenstein who could take their brains out for a thoroughly entertaining evening.

The show itself (it’s not a play) runs until Saturday night so including the matinee performance there are (as I write this) only four shows left. So hurry up and get on down to Epsom Playhouse if you don’t want to miss out on this ‘Scare-larious’ production …..You ‘vould’ be very foolish not too ...……………HOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO HAAAAAAA HAAAAAAA
