We came Monday 19th December to see santa and the snowman experience. Santa was amazing. So friendly and patient. He took time to chat with my child and even though there were lots of other children waiting, I didn't feel rushed at all. He was so genuinely lovely. A* experience and we will def be coming again next year.

First Panto for our six year old grandson and he cried with laughter from start to finish, Sam Rabone was again amazing as the dame with an excellent supporting cast.

Having been to Pantos for thirty years at the Hippodrome and The Grand , the Garrick is miles ahead for entertainment and viewing is superb for little ones with booster seats supplied.

We first visited to a see a relative dance in a production two years ago but having now moved to Lichfield we will make this a family tradition

Brilliant show grab a ticket while you have time.

ThisSnow White pantomime was excellent. We came last year to see Peter Pan & booked for this years straight after. We have done the same again for 2023! As a family we have seen many pantomimes in different locations- some very well known & far bigger than the Garrick, however theirs is ALWAYS the best. The kids love it, the adults love it & the setting is perfect. Easy to get to, easy to park- no fuss, just a brilliant experience from stat to finish. The show was just wonderful. Looking forward to next years already!

The staff were kind, friendly and helped us find our seats.
Our pre-ordered drinks were ready on arrival. We really enjoyed the show ( The Bah Humbug Club) and had a lovely evening.

I supervised a school visit too watch this pantomine and it was amazing. Nurse nelly always shines as ive seen her ( cough, him) last year same place, diff panto. Awesome.. but , i have to be honest, someone who doesnt get enough praise in these reviews is the lady ( sorry i dont know your name, but super hope you see this), was who played the wicked Queen this year and played several diff parts in last years panto too. You are amazing, super believable and put the work in... fyi, not sure if youve ever watched the twisted tales of sabrina spellman on netflix, but u look like the actress who plays lillith... huge compliment there.

All the cast were amazing, the kids always love it, and the smaller men in the cast were not only awesome but took the time to smile and wave to individual children, which really made their day and it also taught our children about diversity, inclusion and that you can be anything you want to be.

Also big shout to the costume people, the set designers and the live music players... i do think next time, they might need a spotlight on them too, espesh the saxophone guy. Nice touch

Thanks guys for an awesome show, see you next year xxx

Panto this year was outstanding as usual. Panto dame Sam Rabone & his cast were fantastic! The comedy is a class all on its own. Lovely intimate theatre that makes you feel involved and more atmospheric than big theatres that overcharge. Fantastic all round. X

Our annual family trip to the panto (11 of us) The theatre was not as full as usual and I can only put that down to the cost of living and how expensive it has become to visit the theatre since the pandemic ( no cheaper family tickets this year) , even though the cast is smaller. However we loved it as much as ever. Hope I can still afford to take everyone next year, depends if my pension holds out.

Won some tickets to see a Christmas pantomime a couple of years ago, and even as an adult I thought it was fantastic. They really get the kids and families involved and make it such a fun experience! Very entertaining, laughed all night, great for a family day out.

Good night that would of been excellent if there were rules to stop drunken selfish people dancing in front of stage when people are sitting in there allocated seats... We pay for a seat sit in it if they want to dance dance in side walkways away from peoples veiws...

We booked tickets to this tribute on the back of a cancelled weekend in Southampton to see another Smiths tribute during lockdown. So in the end it worked out well. Being big Smiths fans from some 40 odd years ago we looked forward to a night of nostalgia and good music. If I heard it right this was in fact the inaugural performance for this tribute band. Well done lads you did just fine! We enjoyed these talented musicians take on one of the most iconic bands of all time. As big music fans we go to all sorts of tribute nights some bang average, most pretty good and a few that we thought just excellent. For The Smiths are Dead we reckoned pretty good…….not bad at all for a first time out! Our bit of feedback…..work on developing your presentation between songs to give a flavour of the Smiths rise and inspiration as a band….maybe a video backdrop as well. Who do we think are the benchmarks….Live on Mars (Bowie) just brilliant. ELO Experience…..great tribute to a great band. Luther…great voice and great audience rapport. The Simon & Garfunkel Story……superb tribute and superb backdrop presentation.
