Went along to this show as we're massive fans of the original movie, we've previously enjoyed an amateur production of the Graham Linehan version at Sutton Coldfield too.
Annoyingly, the theatre chose to let the local choir group practice in the upper foyer and block the door to our seats, they still hadn't moved with 5 mins to the curtain so we had to find our way round via the dress circle to our seats in the box.
This cast in this version struggled remembering lines and talked over one another due to missing their cues on several occasions, the director also chose to mimic the staircase with a piece of faux balustrade in the middle of the set - but this became quite an irritating distraction to be honest!
They struggled to get many laughs from the audience and a couple near us left after the second half started, not sure why didn't just leave at the interval. I know its only amdram so I hope I'm not being too harsh...

My Husband and I went to the Garrick to watch South Staffordshire College do their performance in the studio.
We had a great time and all the students were amazing.
Lovely venue, and we enjoyed it so much I'm going back tonight.

The Garrick is a lovely cosy and friendly theatre without the feeling of being in a city. Love to visit every time

Always a treat visiting Lichfield Garrick. We particularly enjoy shows performed in the Studio where you can get up close and meet the cast. My Daughter is 5 and attends a theatre school so she loves to see the stage close up. The facilities are great and we pop in for a cuppa & cake when visiting from Sutton Coldfield. We are going to try to see more shows this year during school holidays and weekends and look forward to our next visit soon.

A fantastic show that was full of energy from beginning to end. The theatre is well placed with free parking very close by and more importantly it has comfortable seats. We will be back.

We are new to the area and this was our first time at the Garrick. What a wonderful warm welcome from the members of staff. The whole place, being very bijou, has a great feeling about it and you feel close to the stage and the action. Local theatres are a great part of any community and the Garrick provides an excellent service to the city. Access is very good to those of us that have creaky old bones and the seats comfortable too. Things to be considered as we get older.

Visited here for the Christmas Panto, what can I say but great, couple of bars and friendly staff. Not the biggest of Theatre's but it still provides a cosy comfortable atmosphere, lots of different acts on throughout the year so plenty of choice. Whether you go as a couple or as a family its a great night out. Oh and the multi story car park behind the Theatre is free parking after 18.30hrs so no excuses.

Excellent night at the theatre with a difference. The actors were brilliant playing several parts in this small intimate area of the theatre which allowed for the audience to feel part of the show with the actors ensuring there was a very relaxed atmosphere. Don't want to say to much with regards to the content of the play as people need to go and experience this for themselves. Thank you all for such a lovely evening.
