Lichfield Garrick Theatre & Studio
Latest Reviews
My wife and always look forward to watching any performance by this company. New Old Friends have original and really enjoyable shows. We attended the Christmas Eve performance and we were not disappointed. The fun, laughter and farcical storyline was a perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit and cheered me up no end. Just as good as last years production, if not better, and we have already booked our seats for to see Crimes Under The Sun in March.

Children's play in the Studio theatre. Excellent and faultless acting by the two young actors, perfect for young children, a bit short for the price - 35 minutes approx - but for little children probably enough.

This is our third visit to the annual pantomime and it was even better than ever, if that is possible! A brilliant performance with non-stop laughter and fun, suitable for all ages. Excellent acting, singing, dancing and slap stick. We loved it and will be back next year.

Comfortable and fairly spacious seating. I wonder why the bar area wa planned to be so confined when the actual public areas are of a good size. Varied range of shows.

We booked this on the strength of really enjoying a show last Christmas by the same production company, and bought some friends with us.
Unfortunately we were disappointed by this performance mainly due to the storeyline. You cannot knock the skill and enthusiasm of the cast who are playing numerous characters, but it just did not flow very well. We noticed some people left at the interval this time.
It's a shame, because we like the theatre, this play was in the smaller studio which suits the performance and makes it more intimate.

Overall this was an excellent nights entertainment and to us demonstrated the true spirit of pantomime: a clever script,costumes, scenery, sound, special effects all of high standard and a cast who really seemed to be enjoying themselves.My husband particularly enjoyed the album title sequence which was very well scripted and must have taken a lot of research. All the main characters had a fair share of performance time and the supporting cast were showcased well. Well done!

Family and friends went to watch Aladdin this Sunday. What an enjoyable and professional performance it was. Funny and entertaining throughout ,in particular the Dame and Wishy Washy but the whole cast were really brilliant. Well worth the money.

The panto was amazing. It had me and my children (all over 12) in absolute stitches. We especially loved Widow Twanky and Wishee Washee.

We took our granddaughters to see Aladdin and we definitely weren’t disappointed! From the start the show was amazing. The cast were fantastic and really put their hearts into their performances. It was a wonderful evening of fun and laughter and the girls were hoarse from shouting when it ended. Roll on next year! Thank you guys.

We have seen the last 6 out of 7 Christmas Pantos at the Garrick and this was one of the best if not THE best. Great energy, fab gag ratio, superb slapstick, great voices and dancing. The new Dame of the last 2 years is a very worthy successor and this year the thespian villain was hilarious. Aladdin had a superb voice as did the spirit of the ring and the genie of the lamp was energy, energy, energy!!! Great special effects, pyrotechnics and wire work and they let you photograph the end. So rare for pantomimes. In brief we wont go to the Birmingham Hippodrome panto again. Why bother? When Lichfield is year in year out so much better.

Fantastic evenings entertainment for four grown adults and the kids I the audience seemed to appreciate it in bucket loads too!
We found ourselves there as invited guests, there was a palpable air of expectation as we arrived to collect our tickets from the box office. The venue is bright and welcoming and seems to be accessible by all with a lift from the street side entrance level.
Taking our seats and "wham bam thank you man" the performance started. High energy and great laughs throughout with many corny gags thrown in for good measure. The cast seemed to be enjoying the experience just as much as the audience. A definite add to next years (2018) pre Christmas things to do. Did I really say that, bar humbug.

Been coming here for the last 5yrs..... next year's was booked after last night's show. Absolutely fantastic performance AGAIN.
These guys do brilliantly year in year out and we always have so much fun. Also think my boys liked it that it wasn't all about a princess this time and a boys was the main character.
Would really recommend if there's any seats left. Or book early for next year.

Another year of highly amusing entertainment. Fun for everyone with jokes and gags that are amusing whatever your age. We’ve been going for >12 years and although the cast has recently changed the tradition is still loved by us all.

I attended the opening night of Aladdin on 30 November at the Garrick theatre, Lichfield. An absolutely outstanding performance by all involved in this season's panto at the Garrick. So professional with exquisitely designed costumes, artistically elaborate staging, a gorgeous elephant and a big big mummy. And, tailored to a family audience like a panto should be. Highly recommended!
