What training do the door stewards receive? Why do they not suggest that people with higher number seats, eg #23, #24, walk around the front of the auditorium to the far side rather than start at seat #1 and everyone has to get up to let them through? It isn't rocket science but as the stewards do not even look at tickets now ....

We have visited the Garrick Theatre a great number of times over the years,seeing a variety of productions. Each time we have been, we have never been disappointed. The theatre staff are very helpful, polite and friendly. The production of their Christmas pantomimes are always top class, and we will keep taking our grandchildren to see them for as long as possible.

Always enjoy visiting the Garrick, good shows, brilliant local venue. Good view wherever you sit, local talent and professional artists equally enjoyable.

Great shows always put on here and staff are always helpful! They manage to make sure everyone in the interval is served in time before the show restarts

Great theatre with a variety of different types of shows, been a few times now and always had brilliant time. Every seat has a good view, been near the front and also sat on the very back row and I can't complain about the view or the acoustics.
There is also good parking right next door on the multi storey car park.
Check out the website and if you book online you can even see the view of the stage from your choice of seat before you confirm your booking.
Good bars with quick service too and you can order your drink for the interval.
All in all a great little theatre in a great little city.

A comfortable friendly theatre that offers a wide variety of performances. From original music, to plays and of course the very popular pantomime

We went to see the tribute band ELO Again! A good night was had by all, great show, great seats and a great price. One tip is I wouldn't buy on line and arrange for collection on arrival. The system failed and there were no tickets waiting for us, I really thought we were going to miss out. However they sorted it out in the end and printed off some new tickets - all's well that ends well!

We try to go to the Garrick at least twice a year as it has some great shows/pantos at a reasonable cost

Spent the last few days in Lichfield area and went to see 2 shows over the weekend. Theatre is very easy to find, right near the bus station, train station, town centre etc.
I saw Talon both evenings, a tribute band of The Eagles, which I follow up & down the country. Shows really good as always, good acoustics in the theatre, not like some places where it echoes abit.
Have a nice bar area for pre show drinks.
All in all, a great theatre which I would return to in the future.

Had a great time visiting the theatre. The whole experience was fab - from pre show drinks to a great performance in a lovely auditorium. Interval drinks were ready so all was good. Theatre in great location close to bars, restaurants and parking. I would highly recommend the Garrick.

Nice venue with excellent acoustics with good proximity to a range of nearby cafes, bars and restaurants. You get a good view from anywhere in the House. Nice bars in the theatre. Give it a go!

Went to see the Mousetrap on Saturday night 9 April. Very impressed with the Garrick, will definitely go again. Staff (a lady) on the Theatre door was very helpful and friendly. Had great seats (row C in the stalls) but in hindsight would book say row I as its on a slope and you have both the close view but also the full stage view. We were planning on eating pre show in the Green Room, but their menu was very limited and expensive for what the food on offer was but it would be ideal for a light meal. Loved the theatre layout, information available all around.

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.
