I go here quite regularly and I'm pretty impressed with the Theatre and its army of volunteers. The place is clean and tidy and, on the whole, the staff are friendly and helpful - although there are a couple who are overly officious at times. The refreshments are, as you might expect, expensive - but it's a main revenue stream for the theatre which, no doubt, struggles to survive.

My first time to Epsom Playhouse yet I'm not far away!
I went to see the musical called Mame and thoroughly enjoyed it. The theatre was great, seating was vey comfortable and plenty of leg space.During the break there were plenty of staff so no long queues for refreshments, all in all a really good experience and great value for money. Mame was excellent, time passed to quickly! Give Epsom Playhouse a try you won't be disappointed - a great venue.

London's theatres aren't restricted to the overpriced west end. There are numerous venues like this which have a huge cross section of shows, plays, concerts and comedy nights.
Today was the excellent Central Band of the Royal British Legion's annual Remembrance Concert. Great musicians in a really good venue.

Six of us went to see Joe Brown at this theatre and he was as entertaining as ever. We had a "box", which was more of a "side balcony", and couldn't all easily see the stage without sitting right forward. However, the theatre is easy to get to and parking in the adjacent multi-storey car park is very convenient.

The Playhouse is very easy to find and there's a multistorey car park next door!
The venue is clean and well maintained. Good facilities and great seating.
Very enjoyable evening in a theatre that I wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Lovely little theatre. Pleasant decor. Nice staff. Plenty of space. On a down side , toilets smelled of urine and not very clean.

I went to see Aladdin with my children, the theatre layout is very good with decent height between each tier, so you get a good view wherever you sit. We were in the middle of row E which had a great view of the stage. The staff at the theatre were friendly.
As for the show the cast were all good, with the exception of Heavy D, he was truly awful, no personality at all, looked like he didn't want to be there and was struggling to remember his lines. Fortunately he wasn't a major part of the show so we didn't have to endure him for too long. The rest of the cast were funny and entertaining, with Abanazer being a great baddy and Wishy washy was very good. The children loved the 2 policeman who had them in fits of laughter all the way through.
Worth going if you can endure the Genie and his repetitive use of the word Boom

We saw this panto today and it was fab!! The cast work really hard and had old and young alike laughing and joining in. I saw the panto at Richmond Theatre last week and the Epsom panto is easily the best. We took a group of children who all loved it- the slapstick scene with
Widow Twanky and the Chinese (Scottish!) policemen was hilarious. This is the first panto I have seen at Epsom and was so impressed and I have seen quite a few!! Get a ticket before they sell out- I am going again!

I like this theatre and the staff. The pantomimes do tend to be of a slightly lower standard than Richmond or Lincoln but that is reflected in the prices - certainly when compared with Richmond. This year the Genie was a minor celebrity - Heavy D - and unfortunately the role was beyond him. It was a real shame but the rest of the cast were of a good standard - in particular Abananzer (Andrew Goddard) who was fantastic and Wishee Washee (Phil Green) who is clearly very talented particulary at doing impressions!

A poor performance, hardly any jokes, bad singing, some funny bits but these were when things went off script. Wishee washee was good and tried hard. Heavy D was appalling, only a few lines, badly delivered, he seemed bored and irritated to be there. Like the big brother house - it's time for him to be evicted.
A very expensive night when after 15 minutes we all wanted to leave.
