My first visit to the Garrick. A place that puts on a full range of shows from panto, comedy, circus, jazz etc. The lift upstairs is well hidden if you are a newbie like me to the building, & also quite tiny for such a big venue. The stage is obviously bigger than it looks as the Panto props for today were quite big & all well-hidden out of sight when not in use. A lot of singing, felt more like a musical show then a show for laughs at time. They over did the promotion of the sponsors to, even devoting a whole unwanted singing section to them that was not part of the show itself. Not certain if I'm inclined to re-visit a panto after today’s show.

Went to see the Pantomine Jack and the Beanstalk we had the same seats we had the previous year and had a very good view of the stage. Last years Pantomine was very good this years was even better more of a traditional Pantomine with good singing and excellent dancing and plenty of laughs even though some of the jokes had double meaning it was for children but some of the jokes were adult but children are more aware of things today. The show was sold out and everyone had a good time and joined in booing the baddie it is a very good and well worth seeing.

Great way to spend Boxing Day Afternoon, we went last year and decided to go again this year and we weren't disappointed Pantomime enjoyed by all in the party from a 4 year old to a 52 year old. Hopefully we will be back next year

Visited during the Xmas period with wife and 4 year old. The theatre was clean and nicely set out. The performance was very good and everyone enjoyed the show. The price of the theatre these days is not the cheapest and may deter people from going ,but if it is a one off then it is well worth the visit. The only gripe about the place are the refreshment and toilet facilities. There just seemed to be large cues to get food and drink in the theatre and people were struggling to get out of the exits. Would visit again to treat the little one.

Really enjoyable pantomine. Loads of adults with lots of kids so it was a perfect visit. Lots of fun but I'm not sure the country and western finish was required. But it didn't ruin it.

Been to see lots of different things at the Garrick,panto with the grandchilden theater shows with friends also Jimmy Greaves with my husband. Each time we have enjoyed our selfs and had good value for money.The Garrick is easy to get to, as its right in the center of town,with a car park, train station or bus station very close by.

Almost everything we have seen at the Garrick has been excellent, especially the recent Alan Ayckbourn play, 'Round and round the garden. It was a very classy production.

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.
