Well went along for the family treat, unfortunately Aladdin is one of my least favourite pantos and I am not a fan of Louie Spence. So why have I given it a 5, because it was a fantastic panto, the boy and girl playing the lead roles are very talented, and the whole show was very good.
The seats however still kill my back, I am sure these seats are now about 30 years old! Hopefully they will change them soon?
But the Panto is fab and worth well seeing, so hence the 5 stars!
Well done to the theatre for putting on a fantastic pants, please try and improve the seats.

Visited here for an afternoon performance of Carousel. The building is architecturally impressive on the outside but sadly the inside doesn't match due to what looks like modernisation. The performance was held in aid of a charitable cause and was very enjoyable. The sound technician does, however, need to address issues of balancing music and speech from the radio mikes as some of it couldnt be head by memebers of the party who had hearing issues. That aside, we all enjoyed it and would go again.

This is a quaint cosy little theatre which has a variety of events. From panto,tribute acts,craft fairs and live acts. We went to this theatre on two consecutive evenings. The first night was a Tribute to QUEEN what a great show. The second night it was ELKIE BROOKS live an excellent show. She sang her heart out in both halves of the show. I hope I have as much stamina when I reach her age she will be 70 next February but you wouldn't think that and her voice is still amazing. Our tickets were very reasonable too as we signed up to be a friend of the theatre. This gives you money off when you order your tickets, you also save on the booking fee. We are going again to see Aladdin on Boxing Day . You can order drinks for the interval if you wish. There is also icecream,crisps chocolate nuts and crisps and if you wish you can book to eat in the resturant before the show all in all terrific value for money.

A seaside theatre that has a mixture of panto, tribute acts, kids shows & local events such as fund raisers. While great stars have appeared here in the past this is no longer the case & this venue is in steady decline. While most of the seating is fairly comfortable, some in the circle have insufficient legroom. The view of the stage is very good from all areas. The bar has not enough seating or staff & the drinks are served in plastic.

Good theatre, Art Deco in design, offers a good choice of shows, and all very reasonably priced. Staff helpful, refreshments available.

Beautiful, quaint theatre... Sat on the second row for Paul Zerdin and could almost touch him. Better than the West End where you have to squint to see anything!!

this place is great to come with all the family when there is a good show on! they have a huge variety of shows on all the time so suits families or couples trying to get away for a romantic evening together! and as its on the seafront you can always go for a lovely stroll on the beach after the show!

I love this theatre, for me the perfect size for any event. Not too small that you feel they are performing just for you, but not too big that you feel lost in the stage's performance. I've been here for comedy and its just great, comfortable, great sight and sound.

Have been here several times although we live in London, we'll worth the effort as it is a lovely theatre, small but always a big welcome,and puts on a good mixture of shows, we are moving to Sussex soon, so will be visiting a lot more

Went to see 'A Night of Dirty Dancing'. Mistakenly, along with many others, we thought it was the theatre version of the film. Although this was not the case, after initial disappointment, we really enjoyed the show. The dancers were brilliant and could certainly sing. The theatre puts on a diverse selection of entertainment.

We took our grandchildren 13 and 11 years old to see Joe McElderry in Concert, thinking my husband would not really enjoy the show so booked a table to eat beforehand and we could not fault the price of the meal, the way it was served and the pleasant staff who looked after us.
I sat next to two people from London and they commented on how small and friendly the theatre seemed, I commented that perhaps the fans had come down from Tyneside and that's why there was a buzz it was the last show of the tour, even my husband enjoyed himself! and the youngsters went up to the stage and shook hands with the 'star' - well done White Rock I always enjoy our visits.
PS The nearby car park is free after 6pm.

Always a great evening at the White Rock. Often have a meal before the show. Friendly and warm atmosphere.

Friendly and relatively small theatre so no seat is far from the stage. The shows are well produced, obviously well received by all and never so loud that enjoyment is spoilt. Ticket prices are reasonable and bar prices typical of most theatres. There are two bars and also a cafe for pre-show meals, though book early for a table.

Brilliant band, good seats, good service and prices at the bar. Good location in relation to our hotel.

Went to see the excellent play Mousetrap last week. Friendly, helpful staff and of course brilliant performance. This was marred by the persistent squeaking of seats all around the theatre. Every movement could be heard from many seats. The play had very quiet moments and all that could be heard was 'squeak squeak squeak' It must have been very embarrassing for the audience in these seats and extremely annoying for the rest of us. Come on White Rock, get the WD 40 out. This constant background noise and the crackling of sweet packets (which I know is a universal problem) spoilt the entertainment.

The White Rock is a good local theatre offering a wide variety of shows with touring companies, comedians and bands. Children are often catered for in school holidays and clubs run for the budding Thespians. Local events also feature - look out for Beatles day around Easter.
The annual festivals allow all kinds to showcase their talents.
The auditorium is good, leg room downstairs is just acceptable (I am 6'3") but balcony is uncomfortable for the taller person. Sounds and lights good but possibly come with the acts. Temperature is usually comfortable even in winter / summer.
Bar has limited offer but OK. Bitters in bottles. interval drinks bookable.

Went and saw Buddy for my father in laws birthday, lovely theatre, nice big stage so there didn't seem to be any disadvantage with viewpoints if you were sat anywhere, either upstairs or down. Merchandise reasonably priced and the big bonus only £2 for a nice cream tub very nice

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful at the theatre. Everything was well organised and brilliant show. We had a pre show dinner in the cafe. The food was great and again staff were friendly, helpful and very cheerful. This was our first visit and would definitely come again.

We have enjoyed many performaces and Pantomimes at the White Rock Theatre.
We especially enjoy the performaces put on by the White Rock Theatre Summer Youth Project. We're really looking forward to this years production "HAIRSPRAY" A lovely cosy, welcoming theatre with the feel of being at a London show but without the cost. Deffo recommend Theatre and restaurant.

Saw Jason Manford at the weekend, nice venue, toilets were clean, drinks weren't too expensive for a theatre but I would recommend pre-ordering drinks from the bar for the interval, we didn't and didn't get served until the bell went

Staff really attentive and friendly, theatre cosy and in a lovely part of Sussex. Lovely atmosphere and great views from restaurant

Really enjoyed the panto, but where are the bars for that pre show, mid show drink - can get a bottle of beer and a glass of wine from the cafe while two bars stand idly empty.

The White Rock is a lovely theatre with a great seafront location looking over the (soon to be restored) pier. The cafe is open even if you are not going to a show, and they have an eclectic programme of plays, concerts, comedy, kids shows and charity events. Best recommendation: The Gang Show, with a cast of over 100 local Scouts and Guides, live orchestra, and almost 3 hours of fun entertainment!
