Having lived near Lichfield for many years and attended numerous different types of events at the Garrick this is the first time i have wanted to complain. I did try to email them directly and avoid social media but received no response. The show ELO again was very entertaining and like with many tribute bands its the audience memory of songs they know and participation in singing along that make the event so enjoyable. Our seats were on the circle and when you see people down stair starting to stand up and dance you can feel a little jealous. Quite correctly i also saw Garrick staff asking the dancers to move to the side so as not block the view of other people which they did.
Obviously dancing in the main Circle isn't an option unless you are in one of the side boxes where standing up doesn't obstruct anyone else's view ( or that is how its always been until this show). Also a common occurrence at TRIBUTE band events is people taking photos which are shared as many have been on here. For us the whole evening was spoilt by a member of the Garrick staff who told the people in the box to stop dancing (I think she wanted them to sit down) then told my wife to stop taking pictures and then positioned herself at the end of the row and glared at everyone i assume to make sure there were no further infractions of her rules. It was noticeable that when at the end of the evening the band asked for any pictures taken to be uploaded and shared she quickly disappeared. which was a shame as i had intended to seek clarification from her!!!!!. If RULES have changed i think the Garrick needs to make it very clear, whats next " you must not join in with the singing" Great show shame about this member of hopefully (ex-staff). Mike

We went to see Prof Alice Roberts who was great. Nothing to be disappointed about with regards to her talk. The reason for not rating excellent was that the stage lighting needs looking at. When Alice stood on certain parts of the stage her face was in darkness with just the bottom half of her body lit up. I would have thought that in a theatre like they would have the lighting sorted. Still a great evening though.

What an amazing show! The cast were so good and really funny. It could have been a west end production! The Garrick is a warm, friendly theatre and they put on top quality shows.

Amazing place to see some fantastic plays. This one was absolutely fantastic. The Garrick is accessible, friendly and ten mins walk from home. What's not to like

Every Christmas we visit at least once for a show. I cannot tell you enough how amazing the performances and the staff are. Always a smile and happy to help, if you’re undecided. Go. Such a wonderful evening out for all

Great show last night (8/3) wasn't quite a full house show deserved a full house those theatre goers who gave it a miss, missed a quality, entertaining show and I would fully recommend seeing the show if it returns or shows at a theatre near where you live.

Right in the centre of Lichfield, with lots of parking nearby including a multi storey which is free after 6.30pm. Small enough to feel intimate but large enough to attract notable performers.
The auditorium offers comfortable seating with adequate legroom, and sufficient rise to allow good views from all positions. There are two bars, efficiently run, and all staff are friendly and helpful.
